don't try this take 2

today's "don't try this" was inspired by a trip to target this morning......

DON'T TRY ON SWIM SUITS!

we're headed to the beach in a couple of weeks and i thought i would look for a new swim suit....i though surely my body was in better shape over a year and a half after giving birth as opposed to last summer....(when i still should have been skinnier than i was, but that is a whole other subject)

so i found this really cute tankini.....not even a skimpy 2 piece, mind you,.....a very cute, modest, mommy tankini.....

so i tried on the top and i thought "ok....pretty cute.....this isn't so bad"
but then the bottoms went on......i still feel a little bit sick from what i saw in the mirror....i am just making myself feel better by saying that i had just chosen a size too small in the bottoms....although i could not bring myself to getting the size up.....

eliza kate was in the dressing room with me and when i asked her what she thought about mommy's swim suit, she started laughing....

i'm serious.....

I was at Target trying on the dreaded swimsuits yesterday, too! I just laughed at myself and decided that I'm wearing a cover-up the beach instead! Going this weekend with my sister and her other bridesmaids!

Wow, I am sure I will be able to relate whenever I decide to take the challenge. I am going in two weeks for Mollie Walker's bachelorette party so I think it will have to be soon. Uh!
