Hi all, this is my first submission!! Bathing suit submission no less!!&nbsp;
This is a picture of me on my (very first!) vacation in Mexico in November. I had just started following some really awesome body positive blogs and so I decided that it didn&amp;#8217;t matter that I wasn&amp;#8217;t &amp;#8216;magazine skinny&amp;#8217; (or whatever my brain was telling me was the &amp;#8216;right&amp;#8217; kind of body) and that I would behave in a way that would show others that I thought my body was beautiful and was worthy of showing off. It made me feel a little bit vain but I do not recall a single thought of self hatred re: my body the whole trip. What a load off!! Thanks for looking! The suit is a Janzten I got at Winners - it&amp;#8217;s a size 16. :)&nbsp;
