Sorry if this is a creepy question but ive had some gin and curious about how people generally feel.

I think i look good naked, but i will sometimes have a bit of a freak out where i worry that im not actually and im just over-confident....

If you stand naked in front of a mirror are you happy/satisfied with what you see?

Well my DH certainly thinks so!

I used to be fairly happy, but six months after giving birth I’m much less happy with how I look. I’m a bit fatter all over despite returning to almost the same weight and I’ve lost muscle tone and gained cellulite. My tummy is fine considering, but I’m not keen on the huge veiny boobs that are battling gravity —and losing— as a result of breastfeeding. I’m not getting too hung up on it as being pregnant after a long struggle to get there was really amazing. I liked my pregnant body. I’m still a size 10 and will probably just concentrate on wearing the right clothes and a good bra from now on.

Absolutely. I’ve dropped half my weight and carried two babies to term, my body has been through the traps and has so many scars but I love it.

Not something I think about but DH thinks I do and is most enthusiastic whenever I'm in the buff. He also spends a lot of time trying to get my clothes off not in a controlling creepy way I feel bound to say and I don't care what anyone else thinks really.

HulaMelody · 25/08/2018 07:15

I do like how I look when naked. Fair enough it has scars and some not so ideal bits (acne on the back of one thigh ffs) but it has carried children and it’s endurance has been tested, so I feel strong and some bits are quite toned.

elvislives2012 · 25/08/2018 07:15

I'm probably about a stone overweight so conventionally no. But when I look in the mirror I see a body that's made and fed two babies so I think I look like a superhero!!!

RatRolyPoly · 25/08/2018 07:16

Yes, I really do like what I see. There's nothing specific to like or dislike (except perhaps my section scars - I think they're great) but it looks like me. And I like me.

RespoDad · 25/08/2018 07:18

I'm a Sex Bomb.

vampirethriller · 25/08/2018 07:20

I used to, but now I'm pregnant and look like a large Yorkshire pudding with legs.

skippy67 · 25/08/2018 07:22

Yes, I think I look really good!

80sMum · 25/08/2018 07:36

Hahaha! Definitely not! I think I might have been a cute baby, but that's about it! Grin

Branleuse · 25/08/2018 07:37

Yeah could be worse.

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 25/08/2018 07:41

Happy enough with what I see from the front

Suspect the rear view not as pretty!

Herja · 25/08/2018 07:43

I look good naked if I'm lying down, stood up and my stomach goes all wrong beastly fat babies . I have a slight overhang of skin thats in a shape like a 3 but on its side. Lying down that disappears, stand up and it's straight back again. I also have sunken varicose veins in my thighs which show a lot more when I'm standing.

creepingbuttercupdrivesmemad · 25/08/2018 07:44

Yes. Aesthetically I like it (but then I work hard to keep my weight down & keep toned) but I love what it has done and continues to do.

ianbealesonwheels · 25/08/2018 07:47

Yes apart from gravity is slowly winning vs boobs!

SleepFreeZone · 25/08/2018 07:48

Not bad. I wouldn’t wear a bikini on a beach though. Lighting is everything.

Kim82 · 25/08/2018 07:49

God no, after four children my body looks awful! Even after losing 3 stone this year I am still a good 2 stone overweight, I have a flat arse, saggy boobs and an over hanging stomach. Oh well, only dh ever sees me naked and he seems to like it so that’s something at least.

ichifanny · 25/08/2018 07:49

Hell no , I look good in clothes but too much fat 3 c sections , huge boobs and it’s not something I enjoy looking at , I don’t hate my body though more like I’m not sure I care how it looks .

tierraJ · 25/08/2018 07:55

Yes. I know I'm a bit overweight but my skin is nice & I have a hourglass figure.

I look after lots of patients who have a lot wrong with them so I appreciate what I've got.

hamburgers · 25/08/2018 07:59

Generally yes. Currently pregnant so bloated and hips are starting to stretch again so not really at the moment.

Buggeritimgettingup · 25/08/2018 08:10

Not sure about looking good after 6 kids but my body works just fine which is amazing for me, I have wobbly bits, c section scars, a mum tim and stretch marks, I'm a stone overweight and some bits are going south but I have a cracking pair of norks my legs are shapely and my arse is still arse shaped so I guess I'll do 😂

JustlikeDevon · 25/08/2018 08:31

I look like blancmange wrapped in cling film. Not terribly arsed about it. Bothers me more that I look shit dressed as people actually see that.

Sallygoroundthemoon · 25/08/2018 08:34

Yes - slim and toned and the same as I was 20 years ago. I have good genes and no kids :).

Moody123 · 25/08/2018 08:37

Yes :-) very
