I hear you. I don't wear tank tops because I know my arms are just huge. I do wear a bathing suit because when I am out in this Texas heat and at the pool - I just don't care. However, if going out somewhere or just running errands I already feel gross enough, I don't need to add to it by exposing my gross parts. It's why I like longer shirts- hoping to cover my apron. Goodness, I hope that thing melts away.

yep! I bring a hoodie with my almost everywhere. I also cover up when I'm sitting down because my belly looks so much worse when I am sitting vs. when I'm standing! - I will always find a pillow, a blanket - something, to over up my belly.

I will never wear a sleeveless shirt. I have abnormal fat on my arms since i was young and I am super self conscious about it. I use to wear a snow jacket through the summer. I was THAT self conscious and even further. It still is a big deal for me to walk in a tshirt. I feel very exposed.

wannabe, i used to do the same thing, but before mine was because of sweat!

*HUGS* to all the people that posted on this thread

Hopefully we can all jump this hurtle i know it really makes it hard to want to go anywhere do anything and try new clothes! worst part is sometimes those sleeve less clothes are the ones i want most!

Dont worry TX we will all get over this! we just gotta keep on our paths :D
