Yes, I was bigger. But I also had short hair instead of long, a one-piece instead of a bikini, wet hair instead of dry, was swimming laps instead of sitting. And I liked those things about myself, not b/c I disliked the other women, but b/c they made me happy.

By focusing on positive differences, I was able to turn my self-consciousness about my body around, so that I felt happy to be different - happy to be myself, and what it represented - without having to feel negatively about the people around me, or negative about myself.

Anyway. It was a small, nice mental change to be able to effect, so I thought I'd share it. FIN.
