Well said, we girls are so incredibly hard on our selves. I fight the fat, lose some fat, before every trip and always gain some back there. Is there a cure, nope. Society puts high measures on us and when we don't fit that mold we feel outcasted. Too think my first trip there I was only worried about small boobs and showing them off, I have obviously gotten over that now that I am 47 with the perkiest boobs ever, nope no boob job. Yep no drag, and now I thank god that I don't have big boobs. I do however carry weight around the middle, since my kids, I call it my inner tube, my apple..........keeps me from drowning and well I always worry until I step into Temptations. I am more subconcious of the weight at home. It makes no sense, but as I have aged I have come to the realization that someone is always gonna be prettier, have a better body, but talk to them and you find out that they are incredibly jealous of you. They envy your marriage, they envy the kids, and they are just as insecure about their bodies as they are too skinny and skinny can be a turn off to guys too. This being our 20th trip coming up we do know alot of cancuncare folks both small and big. Just start talking to the person to the left and the person to the right. Friends are just a hello away. Unfortunately I will already be home by the time you get there on the 30th. There is however a great group going at that time too. Good luck.
Of course he thinks your beautiful, you are! The fact you didn't let your surgeries stop you from being comfortable, just made you that much more beautiful.
And I always called it Dick-do as that's where your gut hangs out further than what your dick-do and as a few others have said most often we're our own worst critics...we are harder on ourselves than others may or may not be.....so ladies if the one your with thinks you're the sexiest thing on God's green earth than guess what you are and who cares what someone else thinks...remember at the end of the day when you close the door no one else's opinion matters....
Greg here, I too have social anxiety and just abit shy....I come off to most as stuck up just because it takes me longer to warm up to people. I was just diagnosed with skin lupus, I cannot get any sun period. You'll still find me & sexy Jodi April 19-25th in the sexy pool with SPF long sleeve shirt and goofy looking hat to keep the sun off. Last October only 2 people made remarks about me being covered up, a perfect example of no one gave a shit. I'm the one that put all this pressure on myself.....LOVE all you April Addicts family...See you all very soon!
The older I get the more I have come to realize that I am in control of my own happiness. am I little overweight? Ya.....am I getting grey? Ya.....but in the end it is all about the people in your life that make you happy.. Old and new and the soon to be freinds... We have met people at TTR over the last several years that we keep in touch with to this day from all over the world and when we see them again at TTR it is like we just saw them yesterday. Come over and say HI....what do you have to lose? I'll tell you what... a new friend thats what! .... Nothing ventured nothing gained I always say
Life isn't a trial run, live accordingly. (We live by this) I'm going to skip the "pep talk" or "nobody knows you and nobody gives a shit", mainly because it's just words. Regardless of where you go, if you don't socialize and put yourself out there, opportunities will pass you by. We arrive 4/30 and would LOVE the opportunity to meet you guys! Actually, we can't wait to meet EVERYONE!!
Yeah its really starting to get close... can't wait to meet everyone.. this is going to be one hell of a year at TTR...
Thats exactly what It is, the first couple trips I went there, back when it was still blue bay getaway and I didnt know about this website, sure we had fun, hanging out with a buddy and going to the clubs etc but it was on my 3rd trip , when I started mingling and meeting people from all over the world and especially from Cancuncare, that the trips became Epic... * To get drunk and have fun with a friend or 2 in Mexico is fun... ** To get drunk with 200 friends that will never let me forget the ass I made of myself is Priceless
