I HATE MY BODY NEKKID

I finally got the ok from the doc to stop wearing my hard back brace from my broken back. Okay, here's the thing. I have been going two months without a bra. I have constantly worn tee shirts to keep my boobs up, stretching the tee tight under my brace. Bras were very uncomfortable to wear then. So I take off the brace and see that my body is covered with all this loose skin. My boobs are tube socks with tennis balls in them. Flat as hell. My bellybutton is disappearing under skin on my tummy. My arms...ugh, 'nuff said about those, my thighs are disgusting and so is the loose skin on my sides just above my bra line. I haven't had a real look at my body completely nekkid in 2 months. Now I have been in a depression of it for the last 3 days. I went to try on bras the other day and everyone I put on looked awful or didn't fit right. My boobs had to be lifted to get them in and then the wrinkled up to nothing. I used to have full boobs. Now it just looks like a wrinkled sock in there. Now my hootchie area is starting to make noise. Flapping noise when I walk. Someone tell me this is a dream and it is going to go away. I can't afford PS and my insecurities are coming back full force. Joanne

I have a house with many full length mirrors. Yeah, naked isn't pretty for me either. My DD's are sad, sad excused for boobs. Thank god for clothes and support undergarments. Denise

But I used to love going nekkid. And I will be on my honeymoon soon and want to knock Dan's socks off with some sexy nighties. How sexy can it be now???? Joanne

Of course, if he's half the man he seems to be, you've already knocked his socks off!!! Everything else is gravy. Get those sexy nighties and wear them proudly. He loves you - all of you - and will be pleased a*****h to enjoy you in the sexy stuff. Linn

Hi, Well I too have some flabby skin and it is definetly ugly!!! I hope it snaps back soon (haha). I can't afford PS either but I did hear that usually insurance will cover a Tummy Tuck a plastic surgeon said that. Check with your insurance to see what will be covered, and tell your doctor when you get rashes from the skin being loose and rubbing it will help the approval. I hear the flapping when I exercize too it's funny it makes me laugh but I exercize alone so no one can hear it. Tube socks is a great discription of the boobs now. I too was fuller and need a new bra but not sure what size? I keep waiting to loose more before I shop. How is your hubby doing? I hope he is better and you feel good too. Take Care Jill

We are getting married on christmas eve. Check out my dress a few lines down. He is doing so much better. Thank God. DisneyWorld is where we are going on our honeymoon. We want to go somewhere fun. Joanne

Hi Joanne, I had to laugh at your post; I have a flappin' hoochie, too! Seriously, I know what you mean when you say that you are hating your nekkid self... I hate me naked, too. Besides the bat wings, the flappin hooch, the wrinkled arms and legs, my boobs are beyond help. They look like old balloons; the kind that are stretched out from once being inflated, but look like they have collapsed. If I bend over, my skin just hangs...everywhere. But, you can see my ribs from the side, and in the front a bit, too. I have just 15% body fat left, which is "athletic" according to my surgeon's fancy scale. I don't even need a bra, I am now a 32 A!! But, risking infection and tons of pain with cosmetic surgery is not me. I would need the deluxe; I think they call it the total body lift. Right now, I weigh 140 pounds. My fitness advisor estimates that I am carrying between 15 to 20 pounds of excess skin, which would put me lighter than my personal goal of 130. I wish the skin would just go away. Andrea

Hi, Don't be so hard on yourself.... Remember, being sexy is not just about the way you look, it is also about attitude and the way you carry yourself. Be proud of yourself and it will shine through. If you're not afraid of a few rays of sunshine, go to the tanning booth and bronze that body for your wedding. It will make you feel more confident. Take care, Susan

Susan, Extremely well stated and I agree with you too. Mary

Joanne, My husband sees me as the most sexiest woman alive. I, too, have saggy skin etc. But to him, it definitely doesn't matter in the least nor do it affect how he sees me. Remember your finance loves you deeply and thesaggy skin won't matter a bit to him. So go buy those sexy nighties etc for your honeymoon, then enjoy. Mary
