The Body-Perfect? Not Us!

What's perfect?
Return to DiscussionsI have been a nudist for a long time. However, things changed after my open heart surgery. I no longer seemed to have the same body. I gained weight. Got a scar the length of my chest.
It's been a struggle accepting this new body and scars. It wasn't easy to look in the mirror and see the changes. It still isn't. I got man boobs from the pre surgery steroids.
Now I don't go truly naked. I usually "Donald Duck" it. Wearing a t-shirt gives me the confidence to be naked. It's funny. I don't care about some one seeing my dick, but do care if they see the scars. The questions about my scars make it difficult not to feel embarrassed.
Am I perfect? No.
Am I ok with not having that perfect body? No, but I get better everyday. I am thankful to be alive and know that my scars are my history and my present.
Self acceptance is never easy.
I completely understand! I'm 2 years post op from heart surgery and my sternum scar really messed with my mind and my self image. I hadn't been a social nudist up to that point and just nude around home. But I had read about how nudism helps with body image. I decided to plan a trip to the closest nudist resort on a couple of weekdays so there wouldn't be as many people there. My husband and I spent 2 full days and not one person even mentioned my scar! That visit did so much for me and my attitude. I was afraid that people would see the scar first and then me, like I was attached to the scar instead of the other way and I didn't want pity especially since I was all better. No, I'm not perfect but this is the new me and I like me better now after my "initiation" into social nudism.
