I had the same experience (about 15 Chemo Kilos - "not happy Jan") & found that either light 3/4 pants & loose top or the "Bali Market dresses" were just perfect. Around the resort/pool, swimmers & a sarong are fine - loose & cool. A sarong, T or shell top is also a good option - just make sure you tie the sarong properly & pin the flap if it needs it (LOL). Initially, I was a bit worried about the "tuckshop arms", but ended up going with the flow & mostly sleeveless / short sleeves.
It's so casual, no one seems to notice !
Maybe it's the Bali serenity & acceptance of our bodies as they are which overtakes the "Western" image of beauty.
