How much do people care about how you look at Public pools? I gained about 40lbs and am going to Mexico this weekend. Wanna enjoy myself without being self conscious…

I promise you no one else cares. I think most people feel some level of self consciousness at the pool, but have you ever looked at someone and thought “wow that guy is definitely 40 lbs overweight” probably not.

Just go and enjoy yourself. You’re never going to see those other people again anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

You know how much you think about your own body? Everyone else is thinking about their body the same amount and they don’t have time to think about yours too. As for what goes on in your own head, you don’t want to look back on this trip later and think about how much time you spent being self conscious. You want to remember how much fun you had and how relaxed you were, etc. Your body is your body. Regardless of whether you think positive or negative thoughts about it, that’s not going to change the way it looks right now. So do yourself a favor and just live your life!

No one will care as much as you. As long as you are confident in yourself, people will perceive that too. That’s the hard part though, being confident in your own self

I kinda think it depends on the place. Mexico on vacation? You’re totally fine and everyone’s just trying to have a good relaxing time.

Miami? LA? Maybe a little more judgmental. You’re in the clear :) lol go have the time of your life!!!

I was at an all inclusive resort in Cancun about 2 years ago. A majority of the people there were obese. And many women proudly sporting bikinis. Wear a cover up if you feel uncomfortable, but I promise you won’t be singled out.

I’m in good shape and can cycle for 40-60 miles at a time so endurance isn’t the issue, it’s my feet. Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions!!!
