Great responses. I felt compelled to post on here about this subject. It is one i have struggled with always. There have been alot of responses about losing the weight. I dont think the weight has anything to do with what you are feeling. Although, getting healthy is very important, body issues are in the mind. I look back on pictures when I was what I now would consider a wonderful size thinking damn, if I only looked liked that again. However, I distinctly remember feeling fat, ugly and hating my body. It doesnt matter if I am 150 lbs or 250lbs, I still have body image problems. Now I really am very overweight, am going to the gym and working out, but I know I have to accept me just as I am, or the weight loss will do nothing to help my mental image of myself. When getting involved with this lifestyle i worried about my weight, felt like maybe, who am i to deserve this hapiness, who in the hell in their right mind would want ME? Well, my needs and urges outweighed my fear. I jumped in with both feet. The first time a Dom asked me to take a nude full body shot, I refused for about a week. We went back and forth. He wasnt ugly or demanding, was matter of fact and persistant. Finally one day He just sounded disgusted with me about my low self esteem, I finally gave in, with tears streaming down my face, and the fact that I knew when He saw these He would not want me anymore weighing on my heart, I took the pictures. OMG, it was terrible. I sent them, thinking that was the end of that. Well, He messaged back immediately and said, "I dont know why you are so worried, you are beautiful." I was shocked. I said something negative about myself and His reply was, "Go get a wooden spoon and spank yourself ten times. Do not EVER degrade yourself to me again. When you insult yourself, You insult Me and My taste and you imply that I do not know what I like." Well, that was the most powerful, and freeing experience i have ever had. It really helped me on this road. I do still struggle, but nowhere like I use to. Every time I strip naked and they do not go running and screaming in horror, I fell more and more comfortable. In order to get what I want, I have to get naked. It is a choice about what is more important. Good Luck
