Fat Girls in Bathing Suits

Now, I can't swim. Never learned; never had the desire to learn. I really don't much like the water. When I was a child we spent lots of time in Atlantic City and I loved playing on the beach or in the surf but never went too far out. Swimming pools just weren't heard of except for the super rich; so I wasn't exposed to swimming. By the time I was a teenager and pools were more bountiful, I had developed a real fear of water.

HOWEVER, I do enjoy playing around in a pool, getting wet, and cooling off. I won't go into a creek where there are creepy crawling things. I like to know with whom I am swimming. Also, thanks to an older brother who always wanted to pull me under, I am scared to death of water deeper than my waist.

In the past few years, I've only swam in private pools with my family. I did venture into Montego Bay in Jamaica but the water there is just like a pool.

One of the reasons I don't like to venture out is because I do not have the figure for a bathing suit. However, today I saw one bathing suit at the store I thought I couldn't live without. It was cheap and God knows, I'll probably never wear the damn thing, but I had to have it. And then I got to thinking ... if fat girls are not supposed to wear bathing suits, they why in God's name to they make them in plus sizes. Apparently someone in the fashion industry thinks us chubbies like to swim, too. So in spite of popular demand, I just might break out my new suit this summer. Hope it is warm in June!!!
