Kristen - you have written about so many good subjects , and this is another ..
Not taking shots I don't know how you will feel about what I have to say .. but I am going to say it anyway ...
I would trust the friend that said "while they are noticible to you, others won't notice" .. and why I chose this friends answer is because even if someone does notice and asks or says something , you shouldn't care ...
You are a strong woman who has two small children, and a life that is full .. hopefully with love .. and a life to live , don't mess your head up with this ...
If people blantantly stare , ignore them dearheart, if they ask about do tell .. but enjoy the summer festivities .. buy yourself a lacy sexy wrap around your bottom cover up .. and again enjoy !
Do you have a public pool ? or private ? If public, the majority of people won't even care , if it is private , then the people you are with should not stare but ask or , like me, I would give you a hug for being open and doing all you can to fight this beast ...
You can also try "spray tan" , and sorta cover your legs , it sorta makes them blend in .. but why worry what people you don't know will think ?
If they think anything, it should be how brave you are for taking the shots, maybe they will think you are diabetic ? I mean this is really not about vain , it is just like me , what will people , both who I know and don't think whne they saw me walking wit a cane , or tipping over to one side ?
I was scared, but then was told , why should you worry what others will think ? and used it and those who I knew either asked or ignored me, and those I did not know who stared , I smiled a big grin back atcha' ...
I am not sure I am making sense, but I would go for it, and just enjoy your life and who cares what anyone thinks anymore ....
Hope you find your answer , but remember sometimes there are no answers ... Adrian
