I'm so sorry that you're having problems being comfortable around your guy. That's REALLY hard :(
Sensate Focus sounds pretty intense. Ummm... I don't think I could do most of that even withOUT a stranger present!
Being overweight does not make you more or less deserving of the right to enjoy a tender touch. It does not make you more or less loveable.
It might make you more self-conscious, though...
I'm glad that you're able to think about this stuff clearly. You sound like you've made a lot of progress already.
Do you take any medications? anti-anxiety stuff? medication is usually healthier than alcohol.
anyways, I wish the best for you- you can always try out the sensate focus therapy and ditch it after a few weeks if it seems hokey or really traumatic.
hang in there- you'll figure it out. You'll get through this
