I bought my first bikini for public wear at age 50. Not at 15. Not at 21. Not when I “should’ve” felt young and confident. Back then, I owned bikinis… But I only wore them in private — on the trampoline laying out (remember those days listening to Casey’s top 40?) - out of sight, afraid of judgment, never truly comfortable in my skin. Now at 50? I’m more rooted, more confident, and more unapologetically myself than I’ve ever been. Sagging skin and all. Not because I chased a number on the scale. But because I chose strength, healing, and hormone-supportive strategies that helped me thrive in midlife. This bikini isn’t just fabric. It’s a marker. Of the work I’ve done — physically, mentally, emotionally — to become the version of me I wish 15-year-old me could see. I built muscle, fueled my body, and rewrote my relationship with movement, food, and self-worth. And now? I’m wearing this bikini in public. Not to be seen. But because I finally see myself. To every woman navigating midlife, menopause, or the echoes of old insecurities — It’s never too late to become her. The strongest, healthiest, most radiant version of you. And yes — she can wear the bikini or do whatever lights her up!🕯️ 💪🏼 #BikiniAt50 #MenopauseStrong #RewriteMidlife #MidlifeMuscle #ThisIs50 #FitOver40 #NoMoreHiding #MuscleOverMenopause #ConfidenceAt50 #AgingUnapologetically #StrongNotSkinny #Funchealth - @maggie.top
