You're far braver than I...I wouldn't feel comfortable in a two piece suit until I lost at least 60-70 pounds and had breasts at least 3 cup sizes smaller. I really feel uncomfortable with the world knowing how big and well shaped my breasts are so I keep them as covered as possible. It's only been in the last couple years I've felt comfortable wearing something as revealing as a one piece by itself (I always wore bike shorts over a one piece) because of comments/reactions to my thighs.

And the comment your mom made was just mean. It reminds me of the things my dad said to me and my mom about our bodies.
