Over 200

Because of my weight, I'm way too self-conscious to just wear shorts when I shirt is not required. But if nudity is permitted, I'm not even slightly or vaguely self-conscious about being totally nude.

I think the reason for that is the textile world is so very concerned about appearance -- that's where I'd be if I had to wear shorts. But the nudist/naturist world is not concerned at all.

I am just under 6' and weigh about 240 so I am carrying at least 50 extra pounds. I am still shirtless anywhere I can be, walking driving, biking, yard work, outdoor restaurants, etc.

I do agree nudist are less likely to worry about appearance .

Indeed. There seems to be a fair bit of thought in the textile world about what swimsuits are 'suitable' based on body weight and age. I've always tended to try and avoid that particular pile-on, but since partaking in public nudity (through CO beaches) and appreciating the ease in which we can comfortably coexist despite our differences and imperfections, I'm now totally against judgement about what others should or shouldn't wear in such circumstances.

I also wear relatively brief swimwear when I can't be nude, despite my weight and age.

I do get some good natured teasing from neighbors and band colleagues about what I am not wearing.
Things like "It must not be that warm today, you are wearing a shirt".
One band colleague, when seeing me take off my shirt and shoes when I got to the car, commented "Sometimes I think that you really want to take everything off and be nude for the rest of your life." I changed the subject.

Should have just acted surprised, then thoughtful and said, "Hmmmm...". ;-)

Wish I had. When I changed the subject, I asked if he had noticed that the person sitting next to him in the band sometimes wore shirts promoting nudist venues and activities. He said that he hadn't.

I probably give the wrong impression to females in tee shirts when I stop to read the message presented thereon, but if you're going to place words there, the least I can do is pay them some attention!

Having read the other posts in this thread, I'm encouraged to go shirtless more often. I probably just need to do it a few times to get comfortable with it.

Go for it. There was a short period some time ago when I was less likely to be shirtless because I had gained weight, but then I decided that comfort was more important to me than appearance. I'm glad I did.

You might even find that if you wear shirts less often you don't need as many of them and you can further reduce you clothing supply!
