I am really self conscious about my arms so I always wear either half or full sleeves. I am taking the church kids to the beach tomorrow and am wondering what would happen if I actually let go and wore a sleeveless shirt.

I'm overweight and also self-conscious about my arms. In your position, this is probably what I'd do: I'd wear the tank top but wear a short-sleeved shirt unbuttoned over the tank top. Make sure this is a sporty or casual shirt such as a camp shirt. This will be comfortable, not too hot, and will protect you from the sun. After you're there for awhile if you are comfortable with it, take off the blouse and just wear the tank top. If you wear the tank top, I think you'd be proud of yourself. Wear a smile and you'll always look better. Another thought: When you value the opinions of others over your own, you give them power over you. If they do laugh, just think about the skinny little body in the bikini with a big gob of lint in the belly button. Then you can laugh, too.

You aren't asking about going in a bikini, sweetheart. There is no reason for you to not wear a tank top to the beach. I think more people would look at you funny if you went wearing a short sleeve or 3/4 sleeve top!
I believe that heavy women (and I am one, at 230+lbs) should be conscious of what they wear, but should not feel the need to conform to other people's standards. I don't think we need to cover our entire bodies ... but I think it is appropriate to wear full bathing suits instead of bikinis, mid-thigh shorts instead of cheeky shorts, etc etc etc.
Take the Church kids to the beach, wear a sweet tank top, and enjoy the day in the sun!!

Nah if you wear a loose tank top, no one's even going to think twice about it. I lived for 20+ years on the Jersey Shore and have seen much worse things on the beach, like Sasquatch looking guys wearing a speedo(yes this really does happen).

Oh honey...
God wants you to be happy. Your body is only a temporary vessel. It was given to you to understand the pointlessness of the vanity of humanity.
When I was 15, I had metal fused to my spine. And thought forever that I am a freak. I am different and people will be scared or horrified at me. Not laugh, but be disgusted.
And some are.
But it will never be your body that will get you into the gates of heaven.
So wear your tank top!!
And if you are overweight... help take care of your vessel.Steamline your body with exercise so that it functions as seamlessly as possible.
Exercise feels soo good!! Your body will love it! It releases endorphines and they make you feel good and happy!!
God wants us to take care of the bodies he gave us so that we may live on to do his purpose.
Take care friend...

No! I'm sure it's hard feeling that people are looking at you, but don't worry! Enjoy your time surrounded by great youth group kids and get some sun on your arms! Sometimes alittle sun gives people a confidence boost!

Unfortunetly u cant stop ppl from being ppl, what u can do is NOT CARE, what others say. U seem like a bright person, wear whats appropriate u have the same rights as any other person. and btw if calling ppl fat is wrong, so is skinny.

Wear your sleevless shirt and go have fun. Don't worry about what other people may or may not be doing. No one is perfect and they probably have just as many insecurities as you. Don't forget the sunscreen so you don't burn!

no people wont laugh. as long as you act comfortable people wont think you any different. It would be more fun to cuz its something you dont normally do and its fun to try different things to see if you like it. so be daring for a day and if you dont like bring an extra t-shirt to bring with you so you can pull it on over.
