Do you feel comfortable naked?

[SunshineOverStress]

Random question!
I’ve never felt comfortable naked, and currently trying to lose weight so that i can finally be happy and comfortable with my body! I’m not massive, currently 10 st 5 at 5 ft 7 and a size 10, but my belly has like a line sort of thing under it? And the skin almost looks a bit loose even though I’m only 29 and no kids!

Just wondered if others feel similar or just think sod it anyway?

I'm 50 this year, a size 14, about 11 stone. Current on diet haha and do loads of exercise. Totally comfortable naked. My man loves a curvy woman. I've been fatter , I've been thinner, I think you get to an age and just accept what you've got. If a lover says you are beautiful and you feel sexy, that's all that matters.

Yes. I’m late 40s, but try to keep active like gym a few times a week and beach on weekends etc. We have a pool so if it’s really hot at night might go for a quick dip without bothering about a bikini. However I’ve even through periods in my life when I’m not as fit so have been less blasé about it then.

Yes I am ok about seeing myself naked even though I am only 5ft 3in and weigh 11 stone 11. Its the heaviest i have ever been and I am aiming to lose a stone. I always think I look better naked but maybe i just have crappy dress sense.🤔

Isn't it crazy seeing the different stats for people, especially those who are 10+kg less than you at the same height but say they need to lose weight?!

I'm 76kg, 5'9", size 12. I've always had slim limbs (yay for me!) and my weight collected around my belly mainly with some on my boobs and bum. Last year I "treated" myself to some vaser lipo on my belly because it was getting me down a bit so now my belly is flat and I still have the curves of my bum, boobs, hips etc. So for once I am soooo happy naked . Just wish I had done this years ago!

I am such a naked person! I am a size 12 with a flabby post-children tummy that my daughters like to poke and grab but I still walk around naked when getting changed/showering etc. I think its so important to show my daughters that you can be happy in your body regardless of saggy boobs, flabby tummy and scars :-)
Oh and I even have hairy legs and bush, with no shame!!

@JofraArchersFastestBall you have done so well if that’s all you have gained one stone. With 2 babies in 3 years!

Like a PP not especially comfortable, but nothing to do with body size / shape; I just feel too exposed/vulnerable. I'll dash about on a morning naked when I'm getting ready for work but when it comes to just lounging about I'd prefer a robe at least.

Meanwhile its a struggle to get DP to put clothes on, ever.

I used to but not since I had a bilateral mastectomy. But I'm here and I'm grateful for that.

@MacDuffsMuff you will learn to love your body again. I had a (single) mastectomy 5 years ago. It took me about 3 years to learn to be comfortable with my body again. To be honest when I gained some unwanted weight (yes thanks Tamoxifen and menopause!) that affected my body image more! I then did 16/8 fasting and now love my slimmer look and don’t even notice the missing boob.
It’s a nuisance with regards to clothes though..

Yes I feel very comfortable naked. But I work out 6 days a week, lift weights and do HIIT so am toned. Am 5'8" and probably weigh 140lbs (rarely weigh myself) but my body fat percentage is about 20%. I'm 41 and in far better shape than I was at either 21 or 31 frankly. By 51 I expect to be Liz Hurley 😆

It gets easier. I had a lumpectomy back in 2009 when I was 38 and in 2019 discovered I had a rare gene mutation. I had a double mastectomy without reconstruction. I am strong and healthy that's all that matters.

I am almost 50 and I am very comfortable naked at the moment.
I started doing a couple of 8 minute easy-is exercise videos on YouTube and I was shocked that within 5 days I could feel my core tightening and firming. I was fairly flabby but within 2 weeks of doing this every day other than Wednesdays rest day I have lost weight and toned my carrot legs and have a pert bum.
I am beyond lazy exercise wise and have bad knees and arthritis in my neck but I honestly think in 6 weeks I am in better shape than ever.
My stamina is massively increased now (I have really noticed a difference in energy in err other activities of my life and so has my husband.

@ZaraW @MissyB1 Thank you for your kind comments I hope you're right. It was only last year so still feels quite raw I suppose.

I look after myself much more now I think and I'm happy with my weight at the moment I just need to get used to my new boobless body I suppose! 😊

Yes, entirely. I often work naked at home on warm summer days and I'm equally happy to be outdoors in the garden sans clothes too, when I can do so without frightening the neighbours. Love skinny dipping as well!

Yes. I’m mid-50s, three DC. I’ve always been naturally very slim and still am. I also was treated for breast cancer and had a section of one boob removed. It took quite a lot of time to get used to but I’m more or less OK with it now.

Back in 2019, when we could travel, l saw a woman at the beach who was topless (as was I) and had a mastectomy. More power to that woman! I take my hat (and my bra) off to her.

At 9 months pregnant I'm more than happy to wander around naked. I'm constantly too warm, clothes are annoying and I'm in awe of my body growing my 3rd child. Post pregnancy I'm not usually very confident due to the whole jelly belly thing but I have go happier as I've got older.
My face however, I'm only comfortable if I'm wearing some basic makeup and I've done something with my hair. Otherwise I feel I look really old, 40 this year, and tired. Swings and roundabouts I guess.

Good god no. I sleep naked usually because I get tangled up in clothes in bed but I have a tshirt on the floor for when I need to get up.
I hate seeing myself naked, used to avoid the women’s changing rooms at the gym because there were only 3 cubicles and they were always in use and there’s no way I would be getting my body out in front of anyone else.
I keep myself reasonably fit but my stomach looks like a deflated balloon after 3dc and my upper arms have more wobble than a blancmange!
Never will I ever wear a bikini on holiday though, the beach and the pool is a horrible experience for me, I have no idea why I instantly feel twice the size I actually am (which is usually a 12-14).
I don’t think my body is particularly note worthy, it’s a variation, a fairly standard one, I just prefer it in clothes where I don’t have to see it

Comfortable in the right place and time. The bedroom, bathroom, and abroad in spas (where no-one knows me). Not one for sunbathing generally.

Absolutely. If the heating's on ..... at this time of year anyway!

I look pretty good naked for a 53 year old!

I'm currently carrying about 5lb more than I'd like to be. I'm fairly short so a few lbs matter. I've been working out for a few years but without much real dedication. For the last year I have stepped it up a bit by following a programme and the effects have been pretty positive. Boobs, bum, legs and arms all much firmer and a hint of abs. This is from a mix of HIIT, yoga, weights, kickbox type workouts for just 30 mins per day, 5 days a week. I've always preferred to cover up but I'm a bit more confident in front of DH now. This is at the grand old age of 57 !

Context is everything.

At home?
No problems.

In the supermarket?
Yes. VERY uncomfortable.

In winter - no, I want layers!

In summer - yes, alone or with DP. It is only in the last couple of years that I've been bothered about beong naked around the kids (teens) and 18yo isn't bothered if I am when he occasionally comes in while I'm getting ready after a shower.

When we lived in the tropics in an apartment with aircon in the bedrooms only I spend most of my time at home in pants and a cami top only.

Naked is fine ! Its clothes that are the problem....they seem to get getting tighter
I'd much rather look at myself naked than rolls of flab hanging over my jeans

Yes, I think I look better naked than I do in clothes actually got a few lbs to lose across my middle but overall happy with my naked body. Look better with a tan though!!
