Low body confidence

Here on holiday I have done something I've not done in many years. I went swimming which went swimmingly well! I struggle with body image but over the last few months have started to understand for me this mustn't matter. If someone has an issue with me and my body the problem is theirs and not mine.

I'm going again tonight!

Nice one, good on you ! I feel like a hippo in a swimming costume when I go swimming. However, I've seen disabled people swimming. So I ask myself, 'and your problem is ?' I've also seen people double my size (and believe me that takes some doing) swimming at the swimming pool. Again, I ask myself, 'body confidence issues, yours or hers ?'
