This woman is wearing a bikini for the first time in 25 years and she wants you to know why

Sarah Sapora is a plus-size blogger. She also hasn’t worn a bikini for 25 years, until now.

Sapora, who lives in LA, was aged 13 and at “fat camp” when she last wore a bikini, she writes on her blog. She explains that wearing a bikini again has made her feel as free in her body as she was back then.

She writes:

Except if anyone is heckling, you don’t care what others say because you’re too busy moving and shaking and living and laughing to be noticed.
