That was exactly her reason why she said she wouldn't go nude on campus, 
even though she has the support of her like minded friends.  It's the Jocks 
whom she is worried would give her a hard time if she was to nude up 
herself.

I reckon that'd be a great idea if he was to do that.  But I do believe that 
people can learn to modify their behaviour in the same sense that you don't 
see tribal people or European beachgoers having non-stop sex orgies over the 
sight of others in the nude.

Maybe it is.  Have you ever read Louise Hay's books "Heal Your Body" and "I 
Love My Body" at all?  In them, she talks about the problems of obesity and 
she says the probable underlying cause is due to personal insecurity and not 
feeling one is good enough.  So therefore they create thought patterns 
within themselves in which they mentally and physically disfigure 
themselves.
