Will I, or Won't I?




I have decided this summer, after much agonizing, that this would be the summer that I get over the fear of showing my arms in public.   Just typing the words makes my stomach feel queasy.  For those of you who know me, THIS IS A REALLY BIG DEAL!!!!!

Prior to the start of this week, I owned 2 sleeveless things--one being my strapless wedding dress, which I don't usually wear, and one is a lightweight black sweater that I have worn on a few occasions that probably involved alcohol (aka liquid courage), and a prayer for a chilly day/evening so I could wear my Pashmina over my shoulders.

I have taken the first step....I purchased 2 neon (pink and green) running tank tops this week.

I really don't know where this tank top phobia came from.  The silly thing is, when I work out, I end up rolling up my sleeves and tucking them in to my sports bra...how does that make any sense?  I'm reasonably sure there really isn't anything wrong with my arms...except for the farmer's tan, which I know a tank top can cure.
