I'm aware of the bulges and the sags that I have. But I was in a changing room on the weekend, and around lots of other men and women in bathing suits, people with all kinds of different body types. It was kind of liberating, actually, seeing all these people walking around un-selfconsciously, and I felt OK about being in my bathing suit.alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483907412532940799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-42684904368119365922011-02-15T10:49:21.446-08:002011-02-15T10:49:21.446-08:00i thought the post on the naked lady in the gym ch...i thought the post on the naked lady in the gym change room was hysterical. like most of her posts. i am one of those people who can be naked in the change room. while there are a ton of things i do not like about my body, how else do you get dry and into new clothes? i just don't have the dexterity to try and manouver all of that behind a towel. so really it's laziness more than confidence.<br /><br />i've had radio silence on my blog for the very same reason. and have actually been contemplating not blogging any more. i have even fallen off reading them. not too sure what's going on.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740293052409345978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-79701302263271911602011-02-14T09:44:02.186-08:002011-02-14T09:44:02.186-08:00Your post is the second I've read today about ...Your post is the second I've read today about hatinf Wally World.

Well, like you I think that if you have the confidence to display your naked self, especially in places appropriate to it, more power to you. But I draw the line at flashers. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-1189240039204183872011-02-13T11:44:02.409-08:002011-02-13T11:44:02.409-08:00I don't have a problem being in the buff. I...I don't have a problem being in the buff. I've been topless on beaches. And you know Vancouver does have a clothing optional beach. ;-)<br /><br />My friend once surprised me at a regular Vancouver beach (not Wreck) - she hadn't put on her bikini bottom before leaving the house & as I was talking & setting up our blankets, one second she's just standing beside me & then next she whipped down her pants & put on her bottoms. I admit I was momentarily stunned by the audacity of it & then I was all - heck, whatevah! So a bit of her I don't normally see showed for 10 seconds. Whoopdeedoo. <br /><br />For years I also breastfed openly - but that's a different issue in my mind. <br /><br />The North American approach to nudity is very strange. So it's ok to see miss pouty lips wearing the ultimate push-up thrusting her bosom out at a bus stop? But see a photo of a naked average woman just standing there & that's somehow ... what? sick? distasteful? See, for me it's exactly the opposite.hornblowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428146299208610591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-33441748472978002722011-02-11T22:06:23.973-08:002011-02-11T22:06:23.973-08:00I have a few things to say:

I am the blogger who wrote the one post about the naked lady, that I, in the end, found pretty terrific in that she was so comfortable in her own skin. But yes, it's humourous blog, so that's the route I took.<br />2. I suspect you took offence to the comment I made about the fat lady at yoga. You do know that I think you are a fantastic blogger, and I certainly would never mean to offend you, and if I did, I'm so sorry. However, I never made a derogatory comment about the fat lady at yoga. If you must know, I'm amazed at these ladies. It's hot in that yoga room. I have to lie down between poses because of the heat. Yet many other women of all shapes and sizes plow through the practice. I could have included this in the post, but you must know that, again, my blog is a humour one.<br />And I didn't and don't want to hurt your feelings.<br />But I'm glad you wrote this post of your own. I give you a lot of credit for "going against the grain" as it were.<br />Please lets stay friendly. :)Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894333322881236627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-90228246406886826652011-02-11T15:32:43.276-08:002011-02-11T15:32:43.276-08:00I feel a little uncomfortable talking to a naked p...I feel a little uncomfortable talking to a naked person that isn't my kids or my husband, but I don't waste the time judging them on it. Well...I would probably judge them if they were naked and I was talking to them anywhere outside of a gym changeroom. If we're in the gym changeroom, I kind of expect naked folk and I just deal with it.Marilyn (A Lot of Loves)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06657908406859803924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-19392018219584482852011-02-11T12:16:43.978-08:002011-02-11T12:16:43.978-08:00Could winter be dragging you down?

As much as I love cold and really don't get it very severely, after awhile I find myself being more tired than usual too. <br /><br />I have always hated the way I look, no matter what age, size or shape I was in. I agree, more power to anyone with that kind of self confidence.

I have always been way to self conscious. I also envy her now that she is a new nursing mother and that she has no shame in nursing in public or in front of extended family or friends. That's the way it should be, but I always felt insecure when I was nursing. I find your views about nakedness very similar to views on nursing in public. I have told friends in the past that if they have an issue with it - that's their problem and to look the other way.<br />And I love that joke :)Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11565759832834480920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-16321310561346079752011-02-11T03:27:50.190-08:002011-02-11T03:27:50.190-08:00There are too many things wrong with me for me to ...There are too many things wrong with me for me to have time to focus on anyone else's body. MOST people, do not have a detailed look at another woman's naked body and think "ahhh! You're worse than I am". In my opinion, most women will briefly look at another woman and find SOMETHING about that woman that is superior to herself. And then she will feel badly. <br /><br />February is almost over (sorta). Life ALWAYS gets better in March.

My comment...I know the post you are talking about. My comment was that I admire people who can be that comfortable in their own skin. Why not? I can tell you that I have a hard time being naked around other people (in a change room, let's say, not like I'm going streaking). I think, they're looking at my varicose veins, they know I need a bikini wax, they can see I have a pimple on my back. I can't even go without makeup in public because I'm so worried that people will notice old acne scars. So if someone is comfortable enough to be photographed naked, that's a beautiful thing. I wish it was me.<br /><br />I'm sorry you're so tired and it sounds like you're in a really blue period. I wish I wasn't so far away, I would take you out for a good margarita and some laughs. As it is, I will just send you an xoxo.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212465957211363245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-25495286594569251912011-02-10T15:45:04.951-08:002011-02-10T15:45:04.951-08:00Have you had your thyroid checked?

I know it's rude to give unsolicited medical advise (esp on the interwebs), but I've had several friends who've gone to the doctor about chronic tiredness and been diagnosed w/ thyroid problems. Yes, <i>several</i> friends. AND my dog. And all you need is a pill (in the case of my dog: a liver flavoured pill) to fix the issue. <br /><br />If people (and I'm exempting my spouse from this category) want to be naked, they should go ahead and be naked. I don't care if they are old or if they are young. Just so long as they understand, I'm not making eye contact with them. EVER. AGAIN. <br /><br />Yes, I have issues.Wrath Of Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493475195269575941noreply@blogger.com
