I know for myself that no matter what i weigh, I am never entirely happy with the way I look. But, my husband thinks I am beautiful and sexy and tells me this on a daily basis, no matter what my weight is. It took me less than an hour (ok a little bit of liquid courage too!) to feel comfortable and not care about what anyone thought our first trip there! It really did set the tone for the whole trip for me. My husband is a closet introvert, but give him a few drinks and he can become the life of the party. I actually am the outgoing one of our marriage, so look out..lol Looking forward to seeing everyone from this forum when we are there! We just want to have a good time, lots of laughs, and hopefully, make some new friends! And, if anyone wants to judge...I say let them, they are probably just jealous that they arent maybe having as good of a time as we all are!!
We'll be there April 23-May 3, so we'll see you there! We're going to try to do as many Boobs Cruises as possible while we're there. You should definitely go on one! My husband and I are pretty awkward too, but get some liquid courage in me and I'll start making friends.
A hundred ways to stay in touch these days, done be a snob, reach out and touch someone! oh wait....lets save that last part for later
I was really moved by some of the responses to Tony & Mary's posting, it's great to see the outpouring of support for those of us (actually most of us) who are self conscious about our weight or appearance. I know I struggle with this as does LaVita but I remember our first visit to TTR Cabo and how we came away so impressed feeling how nonjudgmental the atmosphere was and how friendly and accepting people were. Our second trip was just fantastic, we were the same physically but way better prepared for the atmosphere and joined in with all the theme nights and day games and had such a great time. We are looking so forward to our first trip to TTR Cancun and expect to have even more fun! Tony & Mary, sorry we won't be there in April to meet you guys in person but I want to wish you all the best and I know the friends you're already making here will make sure you're both having too much fun to worry about any jerks you might encounter. All the best from Kelowna, BC, Canada...Have an facking awesome time!! :headbanger:
Well for any that already know me, you know I'm definitely not shy. Come find the chica with the kitty ears. I'm not exactly a skinny girl by any means but I'm outgoing and will make sure ya have fun and open up. Kat
Wow. Blown away by some of these responses. Gonna make it a lot easier to find some people to get blind stinking drunk with! You guys may regret getting us to come out of our shells!!! Trust me, I have no filter. And Momma, well, get some tequila in her. And ask her to tell the "Hubby striking out with a midget" story... In regards to the Boobs Cruise: Although we both love both boobs and booze...Mary is DEATHLY afraid of natural water. There is absolutely no way in hell she's getting on a boat. No amount of alcohol, me whining, or bribery will ever change that. I had to damn near drag her out on the sand for our little couple on the beach pic last time we were down. Having said all that, we'll hold Pattyo's down for ya's until you get done recovering. (and when I mean no way in hell, I mean NO WAY. I've been with her 12 years and have never even gotten close to her getting in or on a lake, ocean, or river. And we live in Michigan.)
Oh and regarding the posts regarding weight...I don't know if it's as much as a embarrassed or ashamed of weight thing as it is a socially retarded thing. Hard to explain. Being chunky but funky doesn't help...but hey.
You guys will be there after us but if you were going the same dates you 2 would be more than welcomed in our group, we come in all shapes, sizes & color and don't give a rats ass were you come from or how much money you have or what you look like.
I think the thing that impressed me the most about TTR was the accepting atmosphere. It really didn't seem to matter to most people that no one looks perfect. Lets face it, if we all looked like models we would all be models.
