Is it normal that i'm feeling cynical about family vacation?

I'm really sad because I'm going on vacation with my family. I know that, that sounds weird because usually people would be excited about vacation. But I'm just not looking forward to anything. I feel so unbelievably fat and ugly. My stomach is literally popping out and it's just really upsetting. There will be swimming there and I just am feeling really insecure about wearing a bathing suit. I'm worried that this vacation will be a complete bust because I just feel so awful about myself that I won't be able to have fun without feeling self-conscious. I feel ugly and uncomfortable in my own skin. We had to go shopping the other day for summer clothes and I just felt like s*** all day. Nothing fit and I just really wanted to die. I don't want to ruin this for my family but I just really hate how I look and feel right now.

    Oded here, right up my alley is this kind of question. So I understand you got some insecurities. This is due to modern society and the expectations of it. Everyone who is there wherever there may be on your vacation is more so likely you will never see again and vice versa. So with that said, I do not forsee you even having to worry about what the other patrons around you think. You'll just be another random forgotten about before the night is over and a lot of others as well. I would greatly advise to not overthink this scenario based upon what I have stated above. You love your family I will greatly assume. They got your back in the end and that is all you need to worry about. Just have fun with your family and be who you are. There is much vast of population in this world, you won't be wrongfully judged. Just surpassed as another day burrows. Enjoy your family time.

      Thanks, I guess. That kind of helps. I wouldn't say I "love" my family but I do care about them in a sense. I hope I don't look foolish.
