>>39477137my bf is ex-fat and has the same issues, there's some excess skin on his tummy he's really ashamed of and even tho it's getting into the scorching weather he barely goes shirtless, even when I'm actively encouraging it
what's worked so far;
>relentless complimentsI talk a lot about the bits he deosn't focus on like his pecks and his back, he can't fight back cos he doesn't see those areas as issues and that's been helping build his self image
>encouraging his exercisehe works out anyway, but I push him to work out when he's feeling down cos he gets that high at the end that makes him feel better, and it loops back into the compliments, cos I can talk about his arms, his legs, and Everything but the one thing he's concerned with
so finally
>draw his attention of itI (and prolly you) deal with worse shit as troons, there is no escaping the list of issues for me, as I legit can't see the good parts he does, cos all of it's connected to gender
but he sees two flaws in himself, and only those, I can pretty successfully draw his attention away from those with enough talk about all the other parts
>easy peasyhe might not be at the point of walking around with no shirt yet, but I get to lie my face on his big peck titties whenever we sleep
