You have a problem accepting your body and as a result have poor body image that makes you shy to expose yourself fully during sex. Women who are overweight have a right to a fun and satisfying sex life. Your relationship with yourself (loving and accepting yourself) is vital to having better sex and relationships. It would be helpful for you to seek out a therapist in your area that specializes in body image work.
