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?

I agree with a pp that i suspect the view from behind is not as good, wobbly bum and cellulite thighs... But ignorance is bliss! 😂

No. I have saggy skin on my stomach and the most awful stretch marks I have ever seen, I’ve looked online and none come close to mine. It makes me miserable and I can’t stand to look at myself. I’m curvy and a size 16/18 but look alright dressed .

I like some bits. I have good shoulders and arms (apart from slight bingo wings!). My boobs are ok now I've lost a lot of weight. Weight lifting has helped these good bits. After 3 C-sections my stomach is horrible. Also I used to be REALLY fat so have excess skin around stomach and hips. Got good legs due to running lots! I'm ok about the way I look but if I came into some money I'd definitely consider a tummy tuck and some skin removal.

Christ no! shudder

Fuckedoffat48b · 25/08/2018 08:42

Yes. And Im 6 months pregnant. Interesting that a few people on here stating that they are hourglass or a bit overweight look better naked than clothed. I agree. Goes to show how unflattering clothes are if you aren't a clothes horse.

Notfootball · 25/08/2018 08:43

Yes, I’m happy with what I see in the mirror. Two DCs and I look pretty much as good as I looked before them.

TroysMammy · 25/08/2018 08:45

I look better standing naked than sitting naked. Think hourglass as opposed to Buddah.

Caribbeanyesplease · 25/08/2018 08:45

Very toned and stomach flat as a pancake BUT far too skinny

bonzo77 · 25/08/2018 08:48

I reckon I’m better naked than dressed. My thighs are a bit heavy, but I don’t think they’re that cellulite-y. I mean there’s a bit but not loads. There’s a bit of a csection pouch, but it’s not really an overhang. I’m sort of soft and not totally toned

KnotsInMay · 25/08/2018 08:48

By and large, happy. But less of the ‘large’ would help.

I suspect I look like many others giving adverse descriptions of themselves, but I tend to think ‘ a body is a body ‘ and I am not interested in the mainstream ‘ideal’. I like the way artists see bodies, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud.

I’ve got a tall sturdy frame, half a stone overweight, jelly-belly, but I look ‘fine’. I wear a bikini on the beach with no qualms.

Our bodies are our tools, it’s how they work that counts! So let’s look after their health and fitness and worry less about hairy legs.

Maybugger · 25/08/2018 08:49

If I take off my glasses and turn off the light I look amazing in my dreams!

Postino · 25/08/2018 08:52

With good lighting I think I look really attractive naked, better than in clothes Blush I'm waiting for waists to come back into fashion.

However in bright light/daylight I am very self-conscious about cellulite. Currently working out like mad for a beach holiday in October

Frosty6611 · 25/08/2018 08:53

I’m happy with certain aspects like my boobs and flat (ish) stomach. But I hate other parts like my wobbly thighs which have stretch marks and cellulite on them, my wide hips and my bingo wings. When I have fake tan on I feel better as it hides some of the cellulite. But when I’m not wearing it I’m so pale that I almost look blue and it makes my skin look all mottled

kalinkafoxtrot45 · 25/08/2018 08:55

No, but I don’t really care. Grin

EvaHarknessRose · 25/08/2018 08:59

Yes, in the mirror Grin I don’t care if camera or others would disagree, I’m ok.

TheSassyAssassin · 25/08/2018 08:59

Pretty happy with what I have - good genes (my DMs) mean have very long legs and a good bum so from behind is a nice view! Would love a flatter stomach but it grew a new person so I'll forgive it!

Postino · 25/08/2018 09:00

I wish stretch marks/cellulite were considered interesting or beautiful.

I personally am 100% content with my body, as it works perfectly, but I'm aware of how it might be perceived by new men (single after a long relationship and making the most of it, with much younger men Shock )

MajesticWhine · 25/08/2018 09:01

I look terrible naked. Saggy belly with very pronounced stretch marks and Csection overhang. Saggy boobs. Do I care? Not a lot.

Justabouthadituptohere · 25/08/2018 09:09

I don’t dislike myself. I’m grateful to have a functioning body. However I have scars from surgery. Stretch marks from pregnancy and weight loss. I have cellulite on my bum and thighs. I have loose skin on repeat arms, thighs and belly from weight loss. I’m really hairy in the wrong places!! I have thinning hair on top. I have large boobs and large nipples. My mum always said I had odd boobs. They’re spaced far apart and pendulous from a young age!

I also have a hairy bum! But I’vd got a pretty face. Lovely ankles, feet, hands and wrists. So whatever the public sees is fine!

I’ve learned to totally love myself and work with what I have. Life is too short. I’m very thankful for my amazing body and what it’s done for me including carrying my babies.

Loyaultemelie · 25/08/2018 09:12

No I go a long way to avoid seeing myself naked, it really upsets me. I also do my best for dh not to see me naked either

megletthesecond · 25/08/2018 09:14

No.
Excess hair, self harm scars and a depression induced tattoo I want removing don't exactly cheer me up. I don't even have a decent mirror these days. I deliberately didn't get a full length one when I moved house.

I think this is why I like clothes so much Hmm.

Whitegrenache · 25/08/2018 09:14

Just come back from a holiday in private villa and I wandered around all week with only bikini bottoms on..yes my tummy is wobbly but yes I think I do look ok (the tan helps!!)Wink

Whitegrenache · 25/08/2018 09:14

I did wear clothes when I went out from the villa!

PamsterWheel · 25/08/2018 09:14

Good God no. Fat, lumpy and saggy.
