Hi girls after a bit of advice.

i am due to go on my friends hen night (on my birthday i may add!!) however she is having a spa night (not staying away just spa and a meal). prob is i dont know any of the other people going they will be at the wedding however im not body confident - i need to lose some weight (wont have time as its may the 1st) and i also have some bad scars on various parts of my body due to abcess and cysts.

my mam suggested telling her a cyst had come up so i would go to the meal but not the spa part but i dont know what to do as i dont want to let her dwn and we have paid 65pound for it.

can i have your opinons on what you would do if you were me or the bride?

thanks

    Hiya chicka ?

    Firstly I think your friend will completely understand if you explain to her how body concious you are specifically with problem areas. You can still take part in the facials and other less revealing stuff. You could maybe have an alternative treatment at the same time as the other ladies so you are still part of the group, like a pedicure.

    I would maybe buy a swimsuit and a sarong to cover any scars if they are on your lower body.

    I know its hard but these other girls will have one or two things they hate too so they probably wont notice.

    I really smpathise with you as I have hated my body for years and always missed out on things due to confidence. If I was you now, I would go, once you are in the water you wont see your body and then you will have a towel orgown on. Please dont let your insecurities spoil your fun if you would like to be there. Most women have insecurities and they may be worried about their own bodies and definitely wont be looking or judging yours!

    Good luck and make the decision which makes you happy xx

    Seriously, I wouldn't stress about it hun. There will be a way around it, and you will still have a lovely time with your girlies, regardless of whether you bare all or not ?

    Aw chick, honestly, the girls on here are right, you shouldnt miss out!

    my friends are all shapes and sizes - the wee skinnies moan that they have no boobs, the curvy ladies complain they are too big, the middle size ones hate their skin/feet/hair...

    they are all too busy worrying about themselves to even notice each other (myself included) !! i know its hard to be comfortable when you arent happy about your body, but like the girls say, maybe go for a facial, pedicure etc in your housecoat and you'll be fine.
