I started swimming again a week ago,just commenced week 2 of NHS plan.I really enjoy swimming but just felt too embarrassed to be seen in my costume

I knew I needed to exercise but kept stressing about my self consciousness.

Then found this site,read lots of posts about people doing exercise,very abruptly just grabbed my swimming costume last Sunday,told myself to just get on with it and bizarrely I did!

I have since been a further 4 times and intend to keep going 5 times a week,I absolutely love it,

I decided if I kept on letting my weight rule my life then that was more scary than being seen in my costume!!

Keep going,do it for yourself and once you start it is like taking control again.Good luck.

Hi, I have just started the weight loss plan yesterday, I too feel to fat to get into my swimming costume! Feel too self conscious but reading your post maybe I should just do it! Well done you!

I'm not confident of putting swimsuit on which is y I've chosen ladies only swim....it was reading other people's posts on here that has given me the push to just do it ...good luck xxxx

Look for a ladies only time in your area much less nerve wracking than goin in a busy mixed pool .... Once I was in the water my size never bothered me xxx

I've taken the plunge, literally! Wrapped my towel over my cossie used the pool steps closest to the towel hooks and in I went. Felt so much better after the half hour swim. Now to keep it up! As you say, you just have to do it. Such a mental hurdle to get over, but once you do its half the battle. 😊
