Forward such emails to the FBI. They have been making progress in prosecuting. What makes it difficult is some of these emails are from outside the country where they don't have juridiction.
We the willing who are led by the unknown must do the impossible for the ungrateful.

I got one too... Quite a bit of work, of course, they may have scripted it. Hopefully nobody follows through

curious1,
Hope I didn't get in on this thread too late.
Please don't fall for that "body image" baloney. Obesity is very, very bad and anyone who makes an excuse for it is playing Russian roulette. If anyone tells you fat naked people are pleasant to look at they are lying.
Diabetes is approaching a national epidemic(due primarily to national obesity) and if you don't want to end up being a nude corpse sooner than you would hope-you better get that weight off and get it off quick.
I won't bore you with how to do it, there is plenty of good information out there like Dr. Phil's book and others. Don't bother with the fad diet stuff-it won't work long term.
You indicated that money was tight so you might want to trying a local hospital based Wellness Center. They are usually inexpensive and will even provide you with a personal trainer and access to a dietician.
If you want to be around other nude folk, go to your local YMCA. The old guys love to sit around the steam room naked and God help you if you get in the hot tub with your swim suit on.
Point 2. It is a proven fact that your external penis length will increase by 1 inch for every 30 pounds you lose. Has to do with the fat pad in your crotch. How is that for a double benefit. You lose weight and get healthy and your penis grows all at the same time!
The main point is to figure out a way to live a pro-active life and not continue living a re-active life.
What ever time it is now that you get up in the morning-start getting up an hour earlier and go for a walk or a swim down at the Y. While you are exercising make a mental list of things you can do that day that will make your life better and more healthy.
Lifestyle changes don't have to be dramatic or painful. Start with small steps.
If you drink regular Cokes now, switch to diet Cokes. After a few weeks drink one diet Coke and then a bottle of water. After a while drink nothing but water.
If you go to McDonalds now and get the super sized big mac and fries, switch to a regular hamburger and small fries. After a while get the regular burger and a salad. After a while then start going to more healthy places for lunch. I could go on and on but I'm sure you get the point-just make positive changes in your diet and exercise.
Whatever you do, don't ever let anyone tell you it is OK to accept yourself the 'way your are' if you are not happy with the 'way you are'.

Suntanman,
I reconsidered my original post. I was under the impression naturism is about body acceptance. I don't need someone telling me the weight looks lousy. You don't know my circumstances, and how I came to be this way, and I think your post is fairly judgemental, and definitely too familiar.
But I will take your advice and skip the experience. Who knows- I may be at the same site you are, and I'd hate to offend.
Body acceptance? Ummm... yeah.

Well... thanks for the answer. I know after Suntanman's post that it was a foolish idea. Clearly, being too heavy is not as accepted as I thought, so I shall seek my comfort in other ways.
One note Suntanman: It is exceedingly rude to give that kind of advice when unasked for. I was originally so shocked that you would say that that I actually defended myself. Fact is, I owe you no explanations and no apologies for my body size. It is for me, and my lady, to decide if I am acceptable, and not you. Here's a note- she can't keep her hands off me.

curious1, if I were you i'd visit a resort first then make up your mind. nudism IS about body acceptance. Every where I'v been I 'v seen all kinds of people,big,small,short,tall,young and like me old and skinny. That post sounded like a concern for your health rather than a put down, but I guess it could have been worded a little different. hang in there!

I thought so at first, but the opening line about not falling for that "body image baloney" made me realize it wasn't about health at all. But what really started to irritate me once I reflected on it is that his monologue was completely inappropriate to hand to someone he doesn't know. I didn't ask about weight loss- heck, I've done that before.
It has really disturbed me, though, and I have to admit I am strongly reconsidering against trying. I don't need more rejection and hostility- I can get that at the mall.

when I saw suntanman's post I was furious. It really ticks me off when I see so called "advise" in that wording!
curious1, first off let me tell you that I am a nutrition specalist, and in-training to add fitness specalist to that, but I'm not going to tell you what you need to do (if you want help, PM me) Secondly, your are acceptable just as you are. The club that I go to has a number of over weight people there, naked and unashamed, including my wife (I'm not going to say just how big she is but, if she decided to do what she knows to do, it would take 2 years for her to get down to where the "charts" say she should be at) but I find her very acceptable even in her current condition, I'm concerned for her health (and anybody that has a body in an unhealth state) but I know that her body doesn't define her, but her spirit. The same with you, or anybody whether big or small, healthy or in a state of unheath.
Don't let what ONE person says that is contrary to that keep you from enjoying life, and all it's rewards. Like the sun beeming of your bare skin, or the wind blowing across it, or even one of the best, playing naked in the rain. Ah, this is the life of freedom from all our cares, and really "who cares?" somebody that doesn't even know you, so why worry about what they think?

Curious1,
Daniel is telling you the truth. Nudist are the most excepting people you will ever meet, at least from my experience they are. My wife, like Daniel's is a BBW and she is more self-consious with a swimsuit on than at a nude beach. I think Daniel was attempting to touch on a point with his offer for help,(sorry for the assumption Daniel) point being, don't be surprised if the nudist lifestyle just may encourage you to a healthier life style.
It did me.
Either way, your excepted, or encouraged, I call that a win win situation.
I've always said the human body looks better with no tan lines, no matter what the size.
Go! Have Fun!
It will change your life.
Diger

right on! Diger! After reading that again I have to agree with you and Daniel. after all going to a nudist resort is not about seeing people who are pleasing to look at!

I suggest that those who want to observe "perfect" bodies go to a gymnastics meet, a ballet or a strip club. I'll go hang out with the other "fat, imperfect" people who are are nice enough not to throw it in my face that I don't measure up to society's current definition of beauty. As for health advice, my physician does an excellent job of advising me, thank you. As the song says, "We're not gonna take it anymore."

Can you please tell me what I misunderstood about:
self-conscious
weight issues
other "size" issues
Can you give me guidance?
Other than you getting upset, I think this has turned into a very interesting discussion.
I agree with the gentlemen in an earlier post who thought nudism promoted good health. If not mistaken,I believe that nudism has historically been thought of as promoting a healthy lifestyle.
If you do a google image search for "Vintage nudes" and compare the way those folks looked in the 50's and earlier compared to the present day photos from the various resorts and groups-you would think the people are from different planets.
Friends don't let friends drive drunk.
Friends don't let friends smoke.
Friends don't let friends overeat and tell them that is OK.

What you misunderstood was not that I was seeking your instant action plan, but I was asking about being accepted, feeling at home.
For you to advise me when you have no knowledge of my personal life was a bit presumptive. I know how to lose weight. I've dropped 80 pounds from my peak. What I need to know is will I be welcome, or will I get scorn for having too much tummy and not enough penile length/girth.
Frankly, even if I lose the weight I wish to I will still not have that tight toned body. I can live with that.
I am looking for acceptance, not scorn. You alone have given me reason to question the wisdom of this.

You will be very much accepted for your weight and all other physical attributes.
