Lifestyle tips

Well, I'm chubby and I'm embarrassed to go to the beach in a bathing suit. In fact, I have one. I wear it to go to swimming pools where there aren't many people, but the beach makes me feel embarrassed. I don't know why I always wear shorts and a t-shirt for the beach. We'll see. If one of these days I get up and say I'll put on my bathing suit, hopefully

I can tell you for sure, no one will care and you are not going to be the fattest at an crowded beach don’t over think, just go for it 💪🏾
You can still bring shorts and t I case you feel uncountable.
Maybe start tanning in bikini once you start walking around put some shorts on in the beginning !

I would like to motivate you to do it, stepping out of a comfort zone is were you have to go to get good things 😊
Plus you look super hot 😍

I agree with Starfish. While going right out and strutting your stuff is really exciting, the fear and nervousness may counteract any pleasure.

I'd suggest beginning by wearing something that exposes your belly a bit...it can even be a top that's a bit too small. That was what I first did...go out wearing slightly too-small clothes with my belly peeking out underneath. Once you get used to the looks and remarks from people, you start to enjoy them and even crave them.

thanks for the comment, how cute you are

you are absolutely right and very good advice

I’ve struggled with this too. There’s beaches nearby and friends are always trying to get me to go with. I don’t want to be the only one covered up, but I’m still shy about wearing a bikini. Your post helped a lot. You’re so right. ❤️

What you've said rings true for me also. There were a few years in my early teens where I was a bit chubby. I have a family that has very negative views on fatness. Along with being picked on, especially by my hockey coach and other kids. Through all those years I always wore a shirt when swimming. I was then diagnosed with a chronic health issue and have been pretty much underweight for decades until very recently. The only times I didn't wear a shirt swimming was after meeting my wife when I was very underweight. It's taken me years to come to terms and work through it all. I'm still not there 100%.
I'm sure I'm gonna have to confront it or figure it out. We moved to Cape Cod for my wife's work a couple years ago and live within walking distance to the beach lol! Yet the whole time we've lived here we haven't gone to the beach. While I've been happily gaining and gotten past some of the caring what others thinks. I'm still working on not caring and accepting myself 100%. Wish you the best! If you figure it out let me know lol
