Caution TMI ahead:
Hubby and I were both VERY nervous about our first nekkid time, because we're both large folks and we were even larger when we met. But, the thing is, clothes don't usually cover up nearly as much as we think it does. It wasn't like we were going to take our clothes off and the other person was going to be shocked "oh, my gosh, you're fat... I had no idea, why didn't you tell me."
A sense of HUMOR helps alot, really. Nothing is sexier than having fun. Once, at band camp... sorry couldn't resist, no it wasn't at band camp, but with my husband I brought Crayola waterproof markers into the bedroom and we drew tattoos on each other wherever we wanted. Hubby drew little puzzle pieces on my giant tummy and I drew (a teddy bear, I think) on his rump. Sorry if this is TMI - but it's cute and sexy when you weigh 110 and gross and nauseating at 300 plus, right? Well, we had fun with it anyway.
I was really nervous, because in my head it sounded like fun, but after I explained the games "rules" I immediately regretted it and thought "Geez, he's going to think I'm a humongous, giant (in both senses of the word) dork" - and I think he did, but luckily he apparently finds humongous, giant dorks attractive.
Getting comfortable with your body is a lot like weight loss itself, you do it by well doing it. You "act as if," and "fake it 'til you make it."
