Swimsuit Fashion Show

When you've gained enough weight, and have a virtual clothing store in your closet because you're going to "lose weight and wear that shirt again..." you learn that sizes don't mean a lot.  You can buy two pairs of the identical jeans and they will fit differently.  I have a two-piece swim suit which is basically a halter top and skorts.  It's an XL.  I've been wearing it to the pool to exercise and it's become an issue because as I've lost weight, I spend half my time pulling the bottoms up and the top down. There was a time in my California life that I never had less than six swimsuits each summer.  I had more when I was on the college diving team.  I would rotate them so the chlorine wouldn't chew through them as quickly.  Today I pulled out old suits looking for a solid one-piece that I could exercise in and not worry about it moving.  They were all size tens or less.  How did I not save anything between size ten and sixteen?  Then I pulled one out that looked larger even though the tag said "10." I made the decision to see if it would at least fit over my leg. It was snug, but I was able to pull it up without embarrassing gyrations.  It will also loosen up when it gets wet.  I'm energized to go to the pool today because I'm wearing something I couldn't wear twelve weeks ago...that I won't have to worry about flashing all the little old ladies treading around with pool noodles.
