Yes! I still look good but my perfect-size clothes are getting tight again. You're a true friend bimini! Unlike my husband, who just came in with a bowl of ice cream "you look like you could use it". I was so shocked I had to eat it. Pssst, I'm almost afraid to admit it, and he won't say it either, but my sobriety is rubbing off on him! He went from a very determined "no way this can be for me" to something I'm afraid to jinx...

I bought a one piece last year. First one piece since I don't remember when. It's really pretty too. It's either eggplant or burgundy, guess those are pretty close anyway.
Since getting sober I am coming to terms with my age, lol. I figured it was time to retire the bikini, or to at least use it sparingly
The year before, when I was turning 36, I bought a pink and white striped, ruffled, bandeau top bikini! It's funny how much I matured (or mentally aged, not sure how to describe it) in that one year. I really couldn't bring myself to wear that pink and white bikini at all last year. It felt silly.

SP, how did the cake turn out? The one I just made is good. Super simple.
Bikinis. Sigh. Honestly, I would still be wearing them at 50 but my "ice cream cheese cravings" diet has packed on more than I care to admit and I've not been able to get to the gym.

It was great tasting. Wasn't quite as perfect as the pics though But still. I'd make it again.
I guess I'd wear the bikini at the right place and right time. Guess it didn't work for kayaking. I mean, not entirely appropriate. More appropriate on a sandy beach or by a pool.

Escapist, I'm sorry you are feeling down. Take care of yourself. Pampering? Adult problems are draining. I come on this thread for the people and TLC. It's cozy.
Melki, fingers crossed for you! "See honey, it's not SO bad after all", right?

SP, maybe next time it'll look like the photo? Practice. I'll have to Google apple/cardamom cake.
Up until a couple of years ago I was wearing the bikini but lately, sigh. Metabolism changed. Not fat but not fit.

I'm 37 and have a bikini collection which I proudly wear!. I wonder if it would be different if I had ever had children? Although, I would rather have a child than the bikinis for sure.

I think I need to be here for a bit. Hey Weasey , you remember me??
Please join us when the new weekender thread starts tomorrow morning.
So damn great to see you. You cross my mind often!
