Are you fat?

hahah sorry for the title but I'm a little tired... I'm wondering what people feel about nudism when they're overweight. I love being in the nude but am not a nudist... currently while I think I'm in decent shape, I'm not in the shape I want to be, I'm about 15 pounds overweight and I've just been too lazy to hit the gym hard to burn the calories and get my gut totally removed so I can see my pretty abs lol

Anyway, being a little overweight currently does make me self-conscious, and I don't like it. Anyone else here enjoy being nude, but are a little self-conscious about their weight?

 

I'm a little overweight, but no, I generally don't care. I think a lot of bigger people are attracted to nudism because they find you don't get stared at. Bigger womens bodies look much better naked than they do in swimsuits, as well. I think there are people who feel that their body isn't something of beauty to be gazed upon neccesarily, but that if they're going to show what shape it is, they might as well go the whole way. And I think that's a good thing.

 

I love being nude, but while I am overweight I wont share that experience with anyone else... not quite yet. Gotta lose a couple extra pounds first, you know.

 

you know as we get older, have babies etc, gain a few pounds, blah blah
In the end its how you feel about yourself inside not whats on the outside.
Beautiful really does come from within, and when you get to that stage it doesn't matter what your weight is.................

 

I dont think you should be self conscious about your weight. If you wanna be nude and youre a lil over weight then just go nude, if youre around other nudists, theyre not gonna care. Nudists are around other nude people all of the time and 90% of them do not have a so called perfect body and many people have all sorts of scars and imperfections from having birth and surgeries and accidents and all sorts of things. I think if the only thing different about your body is that youre overweight then youre pretty lucky. Best thing to do is just be yourself and go nude and enjoy it. What you got on the inside is what is truly beautiful about you and thats what people really look for and like about you anyways so dont sweat it about whats on the outside. If people fuss too much about how you look on the outside then theyre just a bunch of weenies anyways and theyre not worth wasting your time with.

 

i never go COMPLETEly nude, but im never in a situation where it's appropriate. im not really overweight, i just have a gut...it's bizarre.

 

It can be liberating just walking around the house naked but I haven't really been naked in front of anyone else before, well totally anyways. And I guess I am a bit free-er since I have lost some weight but that shouldn't matter, what matters is if you feel good about yourself.

 

On a nude beach, if you're a little overweight, everyone there will have seen 20 fatter naked people in the last 5 minutes. It's so liberating, and people report that they feel better about their body after being naked in public. It's certainly a different approach to trying to wait TIL you feel better about your body to be naked in public.

 

To be honest, I've only had to worry about being underweight. I don't even go out of my way to manage my weight...

 

if you get naked for awhile such fears fade away pretty quickly, things kinda fall into perspective

 

I'm overweight. I'm rather self-consious. But the more I'm naked around other people, like friends, my boner, etc, I get over it.

I'm still working on the self-image.

 

You're overweight? C'mon give yourself a little more credit than that!
You're a hog, dammit!

 

I am about 15 pounds over weight I think, sometimes I want to lose weight, while other times im like"fuck it"

 

I'm over-weight, but I'm not a whale and I'm not a pole, so it's all good.

 

i'm WAY overweight. no, i hate going nude.

 

Like Ocean Byrd, I'm very much on the skinny side, that coupled with my genetic condition neuofibromatosis (lots of little bumps on the skin, especially the chest) I don't go nude, in fact I rarely go without a shirt outside... you should see some of the looks I've got the few times I went to the pool.

 

Im sure youd look great nude. There are lots of people who are or at least consider themselves overweight that go nude. If thats what you feel like doing then just do it and dont let silly things like weight keep you from being comfortable and enjoying yourself.

 

Maybe it would be a good thing to go nude or shirtless for you. Some people might find it interesting that you have all those bumps on you and they might want to talk to you and ask you quesitons about them because theye curious. Theres nothing wrong with the way you look, from how I see it, youre unique and I think it would make most people like that about you more than not like it. If people dont like it then thats their own problem.

 

I am proud of my body as i have had three children including twins, my body has done amazing things and put up with a lot, i don't have a DD cup or big breasts but they have breast feed all our babies successfully , when i was carried the twins i went up to 14 stones , i enjoyed looking in the mirror because i couldn't believe my body could stretch that far , I am now back down to 54 kg only through running around after him. But i enjoy being nude......................

 

I am not skinny and I love being nude.


I can't stress enough how being over weight (or under weight for that matter) is just not an issue. Nudism is about acceptance, not perfection.
