How comfortable are you with your body?
 

We all have things we don't like about our bodies...but some people have mile long lists while others have a fourth of a post it note.

I think what I am most self conscious about are my thighs. They are pretty whalish sized, especially for a person my height (I'm 5'1"). Along with that, I worry about my weight a lot of times too. I'm 120, so I'm not huge or anything, but I could stand to lose some weight. I'm just a very round person; I have a round face (lots of face fat), and I have dimples everywhere; on my hands, knuckles, elbows...

Basically, I just wish I were thinner...like the majority of the 21st century female population, haha.

Anyway, how do you guys feel about your bodies?

I'm actually not comfortable with my body at all, though generally I hide that fact from people. Nobody wants to hear you complain about your body, it's obnoxious at best!

But since this topic's here... Yeah, I'm super self-conscious about my body. I'm 6'2 and 130lbs, so I am pretty much way too skinny, like scary thin. I eat like crazy (seriously, I eat double what a normal person would eat) and try to build body mass but it seems like this is built into my genes, since my parents were both sticks in their youth as well.

I also dislike my hair. When I was a teenager I would bleach it and style it and colour it (I've had it in just about every colour), I would grow it long and then have short spiky hair, but nothing seemed to look right. To make matters worse I started getting a receding hairline when I turned about 20 (maybe due to all the bleaching and fiddling). The recess seems to have stopped but most of the damage is already done.

There are lots of other little things (ugly scars, gross veins, weird toenails...), but those two are the major issues! I gotta see it feels pretty good to write 'em down though, I've never really done that.

I'm almost the opposite of surasshu. I'm 5'9", but I'm 248 lbs. I don't look particularly fat for my weight and most of it I could pull off as muscle. I wanna lose weight, but I get hungry WAY too often for it to actually work. I'd go to the gym also, but i'm extremely lazy. <_<

I keep thinking I should just resort to DDR if I'm too lazy to hit up the gym. T_T

I'm pretty comfortable with my body, and pretty proud of some parts of it. I guess I am self conscious about some of my body hair, specifically on my lower back, but it's not like I go around in public half naked, so it's pretty easy to keep that to myself. I've also got some scars that I have no idea where they came from, but they aren't visible either so it's cool.

You know, I'm pretty damn comfortable with my body. I'm thin, but not too thin, fairly tall, handsome, healthy, and very physically fit. Other than some slight asymmetry in my face, I really have nothing to complain about.

I fluctuate between being 'kind of' comfortable with my body to being really upset with my body. Up until about a year ago, I was underweight for a female my height/age, and felt pretty self-concious about it. It didn't help that strangers would comment about it and ask if I was anorexic. I wasn't. I ate plenty, I just couldn't gain weight.

Now, I'm gaining weight fairly quickly. I'm not overweight or anything; I think I just hit the 'average' mark, but I'm still unhappy. Maybe it's due to the fact that I have stretchmarks down my thighs now, or maybe it's because the clothes I could fit into six months ago won't fit at all now.

I'm also quite out of shape. I keep telling myself I need to get up and workout a little each day, but damn if I don't even try. God. Walking up two flights of stairs tires the hell out of me.

Of course, having a boyfriend/girlfriend/whatever to tell you you're beautiful helps self-esteem a lot. (I wouldn't know for sure though, I don't have luck with relationships.)

I'm fairly comfortable with it most of the time, but there are still some things I'm trying to fix. Other than trying to gain weight, which has never worked, I always had bad posture as a teenager because of my height. So I'm trying to correct my posture lately, it seems to be getting a little better. Still, there are times I get pretty frustrated with my lack of body fat and mass muscle. Lean muscle just doesn't cut it for me. I look like the guy in my sig. :(

I have a lot of chest hair and it itches the hell out of me, but I don't want to shave it. I don't care about the haha you shave your chest part of it, but every time it grows back I'd have to keep shaving. I already have to shave my beard and my head. It is too much. My hair grows so fast and thick.

I'm much more comfortable with my body than I used to be. I'm chubbier than I'd like to be and that bothers me every now and then. I've always been chubby, though, so I've accepted it for the most part.

I'm also pretty short (5'2"), but that only bothers me when I can't reach what I want.

I'm pretty fine with my body. I eat fairly healthy and stay away from bad foods most of the time, and I exercise sometimes, and if nothing, I walk/jog a lot each day. And I bathe daily and all that basic hygenic stuff. As long as I do that, I'm fine with how my body is. I don't have a lot of muscle, I skinny, I'm short, I'm as hairy as a bear or moose or some other very hairy animal, but I'm not going to obsess over every imperfection with my body that deviates from the average. Basic health care is one thing I should do, but the rest of it is how I was born, that's who I am, and there's no need to change or worry about that.

I'm approximately 5'5" and 115 lbs.I'm pretty chill with my body, and I'm comfortable in a two piece or a tank top and shorts. Although I would like to improve some areas of my body, such as my arms and thighs/butt area, I don't generally have complaints.

Sometimes it's hard to not complain about your body, but things like prettiness and such are all genetic, so you can't really do much with that. I would say be happy with what you have, and in terms of body, eat healthy and exercise regularly. Not too hard!

I'm 6'5", heavy set and hairy as a bear skin rug.

However, I have a good body image. Why, you might ask? Well, a chick who is down with fucking a dude who looks like a bear skin rug, complete with beard, is not looking for a slender pretty boy. I'll take my defined chest, shoulders and back along with the beer gut over slender pencil boyish looks any day.

Hail to the king, baby.

I'm currently working out on a daily basis to become as comfortable with my body as I was back in 2000. That's all I have to say about that.

(in before Deni gets banned by niki for trolling the beaner)

I don't think Im ugly, but I think Im at the point that if I dropped 15 pounds I'd be pretty damn hot. Unfortunately its hard for me to eat better since the jerk I live with insists that no dinner is finished without dessert ;( One day I hope to do yoga or get back into DDR but theres not really any money for that. My boyfrient thinks I'm OK so I don't want to commit fatty suicide yet

Only part I really hate about myself is my teeth, theyre a little crooked and Im self concious about smiling. If I won the lottery the first thing I'd do is fix them.

Back before I had children and my body was perfect (although at the time I didn't see it that way) I hated it. Putting on a bathing suit or getting naked in front of someone was absolute torture. But it's funny. Now that I'm old(er) and have many, many more imperfections I like my body more than I ever imagined I would. I guess it's because I know it has served me well, I've always been extremely healthy, and it's mine.

A lot of insecurity here seems to stem from weight-related issues, which really sucks. Unless you're up for killing yourself with a gruelling exercise regimen, you're going to put on flab the older you get and the slower your metabolism becomes. I was a twiggy young thing until I turned maybe... 21? Then my belly started expanding out. Urgh. I hate it. I've got a nice enough build but this chubby little stomach that just keeps getting chubbier. I suppose having an office job (but a cool one at that) doesn't help, since I sit down all day and eat shit food. All it would take would be a regular jog and not so much delicious food, but ah... effort, you now?

Keep fit
 

Well, just a little advice to all, if I may. Eat (possibly Italian or mediterranean food) and be happy...but remember to leave your vehicles behind more often and have a healthy walk...yes simply walk and walk and walk until you've had enough and go on walking. Forget about the car and the distance, use public transport.

I manage to keep in desirable shape just by keeping an eye on the food and moving non stop.

I am 5'11 and 130 pounds, so I am not large at all, however it has taken me up to this point to get to that weight because most of the time I was 110 pounds. I always complained about my to-thin apperance even though I never aimed to be light, I have hyper-metabolism, so food does not add anything to me.

I began to work out so the 20 pounds I gaind are muscle weight. the only complaint I have now is the little tummy buldge I'd like to get rid of.

I have always been secure with my body. My only complain is my freakishly caving in stomach that I am blessed with, but I try to keep that out with some good sit-ups. Otherwise...good muscles (growing well), fair tone, good face...

Ah, I don't like the spot right above my lip. Horrible pimple spot. Gross.

This is only true if you continue your old eating habits without making adjustments for your new metabolism. However, if you cut your intake to match how much food your body needs, there is no reason that getting older will lead to any increase in weight.

I'd like to lose some weight, but I'm fine with the rest of my body.

I am comfortable with my body. 6 ft 3 in, 169 lbs. I'm not some kind of super power athlete, but I think it's okay. I am rather thin. I think it's just not worth it to workout two hours each day just to be super attractive or something like that. It's important that you're comfortable with your body, not somebody else.

Yes yes. Eat food with lots of oil and cream based sauces to lose weight. Good call, jerk off.

QFT

I guess I don't have any reason to complain about my body, but I still occasionally do, if my condition gets weary for instance or if I start losing weight due to unknown reasons. I'm very active with all kinds of sports, like martial arts, jogging and the gym. I have a regular training schedule too, so as soon as I get lazy - I notice. I'm 6'4 and weigh 210lbs.

I was pretty self-conscious as a teenager until I had my first girlfriend. That gave me a lot of confidence, and kind of made me think I had a chance because I was way too shy with girls as a teen. I started to care more about my appearance since then though, and began to work out and just take care of myself.

I'm very comfortable with my appearance now. I'm actually pretty confident. The only people I find intimidating though, are those taller and bigger than me. I worked at Abercrombie & Fitch last year, and normally I do pretty well with women, but it was really hard when you have these behemoths with biceps the size of your head strutting around telling you to fold clothes. They weren't even the ugly type of meatheads, they had very nice proportions. They were a little inspiring, but mostly intimidating. Hah.

Oh, and I'm 5'7". :/

I'm around 6'3"ish. Most folks who try to guess my weight say I'm around 190-200lb or so, but I'm actually 250lb. Why? My legs are fucking gigantic.

I always had freakishly powerful horse-like legs. I'm talking hamstrings, quads, and calves. Before I hurt my right leg so bad, I was doing ridiculous amounts of weight in deadlift, squats, leg extensions, etc. The drawback? Getting pants to fit right is as bizarre as hell. I've got a small waistline, but I have to get really baggy pants, otherwise it pulls on my thigh region. After I had surgery and my legs atrophied (I still had a good deal of flab back then, but...) my weight plummetted big time. I'm very certain that tons of my weight is in my legs in general. After I got back in to weight lifting and running again, I put on 40lb really fast. Also, thanks to how my right leg rehabbed (kinda bent a little at all times), that leg is a little bulkier than the right simply due to the walking posture.

I'm rather jealous of my older brother though. His legs aren't like mine in strength or looks, but he ran off with good torso structure. I'm really narrow-shouldered, and despite how it makes my shoulder/neck region look real trim, it's a bitch-and-a-half to use a backpack for too long. I can't comfortably wear one over both shoulders. It has to be over my right, shoulder hunched, right thumb used as a snag for it so it doesn't slink down.

I'm pleased with how I look though, given what I have to work with. I'm in very good shape and am doing fine. But the leg-size and shoulder-frame problems get on my nerves. Just me being vane I suppose (plus I feel goofy at times given how the pants are so loose around my ankle region). I look pretty trim and I lack excessive body hair (not a one on my back) thanks to genetics. Gracias, pop.

I am 6 foot 5, 205 and have a decent body. I have a fast metabolism, which is nice. That being said, I'm a mess right now. I need to start taking care of myself a little better.

I'm 6'1" and 130lbs.

To be honest, there is nothing that I really like about my body. Lets just say that I'm deathly scrawny or at least I look it. I have INSANE levels of low self-esteem when it comes to my body.

However, no one really assumes this because I'm a cocky dick all day long. Plus, I'm always one of the naked guys at parties so, everyone just assumes I'm in love with myself.

To make a long story short, I don't think ANYONE on this planet is completely happy with their body (at least maybe in Western society).

The worst thing you can ever do, is complain about your body.

I'm 5'11" and I weigh about 185 lbs? I feel fairly comfortable with my body and my appearance, but my gut's expanding somewhat to my concern. Oh, and I sort of still have acne at the age of 19, this annoys me. Really, I don't care too much. I'm awesome, regardless of a few shortcomings that make me think I should be more active sometimes.

God no. I'm a typical 21st century western world kind of woman. I'm only happy with my eyes and my lips. Everything else is wank but I'm too lazy to do anything to improve myself. I'm not healthy in the slightest, so basically I hate my body and it hates me. It would explain my almost constant illness. For the record I'm 5'8" and 115 pounds.

At least your attitude is hot.

I'm basically a skinny, Korean guy. I'm 5' 9" and weigh 140 pounds. I did track all through out high school, been pretty athletic my whole life and have a good metabolism. My picture is floating around GFF, either in a thread or in my journal I believe.

Sure, it would be great if I were bigger and stronger, but frankly that was more of an issue in high school. I've grown comfortable with my body image over time and there is no use hating yourself, especially when you make efforts to stay healthy and fit.

I don't frequent this forum very often, hence the bump u_u

I've gotten a lot more comfortable with my body in the last few years. I'm not sure why, because it's not like I did anything different. Maybe it's because I basically plateaued; for most of my life I was either gaining or dieting. I think it was more of a mental thing in the end, but maybe it was getting out of my old 'rut' and moving to school that balanced me.

However, I still want to lose some weight. I don't think I'd be comfortable strutting around naked, and I'm still really timid about bathing suits and all that. It's not a dominating force in my everyday life, though.

I find it odd that so many guys on here are self-conscious of how skinny they are :confused:. I've always liked really skinny guys, and I thought they were okay with it. Most of the heavy male friends I have usually are the self-conscious ones. But I guess the whole "masculine muscle" ideal is just as annoying as the "perfect model female ideal.

Confidence is something that comes and goes for me.

I like my body, it has nice enough proportions and there really isn't anything wrong with my face. I'm 5'10" and 135 lbs., my abs are hard but hips are kinda soft so it's a trade-off. Sometimes I wish I were waif-ish and ethereal, other times I wish I had more curves and were tan. *shrug* In the end it serves my purposes and doesn't make me embarrassed, so I'm fairly content with it.

Being confident, however, I dunno. It comes and goes.

I'm not very comfortable with it. I'm 213 pounds and 5'9 feet. Sure I don't like a potato sack, but I have pretty much face- and belly fat in my opinion. I love food and don't exercise very much. But as someone said, efforts you know?

Well, I'm pretty much perfect. I guess I could be a model, but I just CHOOSE to be a nerd and play games all day.

Seriously, is there anyone who would post here who would be really, really happy?

I can join the legions here. I'm fat, but pull it off well. It bothers me, but not too much. The fat is pretty well spread, and I'm naturally really solid (when I was a kid and not fat yet, I was actually pretty well toned for, you know, a ten year old) but I could stand to lose a few pounds.

Which, I guess, I'm trying now, so ask me again in six months.

Oh, yeah: and 9". kthx

I'm pretty proud of my body (6'0", 195lb), fair amount of muscle--to the uninitiated, I look positively jacked. Unfortunately I had WAY too much testosterone when going through puberty, so I developed large nipples and a bit of chest fat that won't go away (commonly known as gyno). It's unfortunate, but it won't go away without surgery (because it's due to natural hormones rather than the usual steroids). And I'm totally ashamed of my legs, because they're not quite up to bar with my upper body. Basically when I do it, my undershirt is the last things to come off (and it often won't).

Well, I'm a big fat hairy guy.

But I'm pretty comfortable with my body, actually.

I mean, I don't think guys have to worry about this as much as girls would, though.

Being fat and hairy for a girl wouldn't fly too well.

Unless you're one of those mexican chicks with a carpet on their back.

I'm rather comfortable with my body. I'm taller than most Asian girls I know though (5'6"), but I'm not one to gain too much weight since my diet is fairly consistent. I don't have problems wearing shorts, skirts, or sleeveless shirts either.

I am comfortable with being fat.

You know what makes me uncomfortable? How uncomfortable others are with my being fat.

I really enjoy it. I get to eat really delicious food and enjoy everything with a certain joie de vivre that skinny people often lack. I know so many people who punish themselves after eating a delicious and fattening meal. I'm glad I'm not one of those people.

But yea, I'm completely happy like this. I never really give it too much thought, but I figure if I were skinny, I think I'd lose something about myself.

This is about you, not your mother.

Don't you ever get frustrated by not being able to run, bike, swim, etc for hours or even minutes?

As for me, there's always something I'd like to improve, but not to the point that it makes me uncomfortable with what I have now. Except one thing - facial skin that's been drying out - that I've been successfully treating with hardcore moisturizers. The serious body issues I had after leaving high school had nothing to do with weight or appearance.

I'm am 6 feet 6 inches tall and I weigh 260 pounds. I like myself. I am fat, square and fair.
I lift weights on odd days and I jog for 6 KM on even days. I eat vegetarian food and I abhore junkfood. (It makes me feel emo :()

I just don't focus my world around my body. I know I've got imperfections but it's just never a priority in my mind. Lots of other things are floating about my back and front burners but my body image is rarely there.

Wha I am insecure about, though, is my mental image. My goal is to be happy with myself, my physical and mental self, like Sass is above and to be secure and social like Deni, also above. I figure, as I grow up, I'll pick up those things and develop into a well-rounded adult. I've already picked up self-esteem and discipline and rest of these things are bound to fall in.

To sum it up, I'm representative of the phrase "uncomfortable in his own skin." It's not so much body image as a social thing. I don't do well with gestures or social norms like shaking hands, hugging, and so on.

I don't dislike shaking hands or hugging, it's just that I'm horrible at seeing cues as to when and in what situations it's appropriate to do those kind of things.

I do worry about being overweight, too, but not unless I have to take my shirt off, like when I might go swimming.

I don't mind cumming over my hand, but I have yet to work up the courage to stick a finger in my own arse.

Who the fuck said I couldn't do this?

I may be fat, but I am built like a brick shithouse.

I may not be able to run the mile in less than 15 minutes, but I assure you I am very useful, physically.

I am a fantastic swimmer, by the way. I can out swim my sister - a fine athlete.

I don't get frustrated not being an athlete at all. I don't need to outrun the cops too often, and what I do need to do, I can do as well as anyone. I am not THAT fat. Jesus. The hinderance for endurance comes more from the smoking, honestly.

I think the biggest self-esteem issue I have with my body is my weight. At 5'10" and 115 lbs I'm a stick. On the other hand I'm only 15 so I'm not too worried because in a couple of years I should naturally start gaining weight.

Man, even though I hate my body, I put up with it and gradually liked it. My only concerns were the handles on my stomach. More gym and nutritious choice of food should keep me in shape.

I'm not going to lie, I like my body. I don't about your pounds and whatnot, but I'm 80kgs and about 6'3". I'm fit and I'm toned.

The only thing that shits me is I have stretch marks, and it's not because I'm fat or have even been so, supposedly it's a puberty thing. I have them in small amounts all over my body, on my arms, legs and on my stomach. Most of them are faded and can't really be seen, but the ones on my arms are bright pink/purple. It's pretty embarassing.

I'm a 5"6" black guy. Athletic. I'm happy with my body for the most part. My physical appearance is fine but my ability to push myself in working out is limited. I do have to pace myself but my inner drive says push it to the red line.

Keep my tachometer in the red for too long and I'll black out.

I've got them all over my body and I agree they suck. One time at the beach when I was younger an older lady came up to me and asked if my parents beat me. I was all 'wtf' and then she said I have lines all over my back. So apparently when I get tanned the stretch marks on my back turn bright red and look like I got a good whipping. :(

Doctor once told me that cocoa butter (I think that's the one) will help reduce their appearance, but I've never actually cared enough to try.

As much as I hate to say this, I have to agree with Alice and that doesn't happen very often. I always lived with the fact that I never did see myself as being very attractive especially when I was in high school and college, but even now I'm probably not as attractive now as what I was back in youth, I'm more comfortable with my body at the moment mainly because of the fact that I'm in a comfortable position in my life and its not as if I have to look a certain way to impress anybody. I'm getting married to a wonderul woman, and I'm not going to kill myself or put myself through a lot of physical or mental anguish just to get my body to be a certain way.

I only got one life to live so I'm going to eat what I want and do whatever I want with my life. I still do get active from time to time doing the things that I enjoy. Some of my enjoyable physical activity has caused me to lose 35 pounds at the most (this was through playing countless hours of DDR/ITG).

I'm currently 6'1 and 230 lbs, hoping to burn off some of that weight when I get back from working away from home.

Good thread to read...

I haven't read a post that is really similar to what I was going through. Personally all my life I just thought I should fatten up. To me I thought fatties had EVERYTHING. Money, freedom, toys, and definitely FOOD. Yeah I actually envied fatties just for that. Imagine how skinny I was all my childhood. It was pretty bad to where my baby teeth rotted during pre-puberty. :( There's no fatties in my family at all, there's guts and etc, but no fatties. I meant like heavy thighs/extra handles/arm blobs fat. I guess my family just naturally don't have that gene for anyone to really balloon up or anything. I figured its genetics and metabolism or something. But yeah my whole family is naturally damn skinny. So on top of THAT, I was deprived of extra food for so long.

Finally like around teenager stage I developed and fatten up a little to where I was feeling comfortable with myself finally. I was paranoid that my weight would kill me or something. I had a lot of fainting spells as well as lightheaded as a child. And currently? I have been at the same weight since college. High school weight was my personal best which was at 140 and currently its just 170. I'm 5'8.

And like Gechimr, most of weight goes straight to my leg muscles. My legs are like fucking tree trunks. Even my ankles are so damn embarrassing, I wouldn't dare be caught wearing without socks. And yeah I had problems finding a GOOD pair of pants too Gech. Its unbelievable.

170 and 5'8" isn't exactly light. I'm 6'2" and on the upper end of what's considered a "healthy" weight at 175.

I've never been comfortable with my body. I've always had what other people tell me 'an unhealthy obsession' with my weight. About 4 years ago I would weigh myself all the time,If I had gained weight I wouldn't eat until I lost some weight. Im also a vegetarian and a very picky one at that,so it's hard to find something I'll actually eat. I lost alot of weight during that. Before that I was 135 pounds at 5'7" 1/2. I think I got down to around 110. I've just never been comfortable with the way my body looks, always thinking I was to overweight and always trying to find something wrong with my body.

While I was pregnant,I gained weight of course. I do not have any idea how much I gained though,because I would never look at the scales when they would weigh me. I didn't get very big while I was pregnant. When I was 8 months pregnant, people would think I was 4 months. I didn't even get any stretch marks but that probably had alot to do with making OZZ rub Vitamin E on my belly. ;p Anyway,now that I've had my baby I probably hate my body even more. Everyone tells me I've lost all the weight I gained but I don't believe them.

I wish I didn't see myself the way I do,because sometimes it just makes me break down. Yeah I know Im a wuss. ;p I really want to start working out again. Im determined to tighen my belly up and just lose weight all around. I guess the main thing I hate about myself right now is my belly and my hips. Im to stubborn to listen to what other people say.

Also,besides something related to weight,I used to hate my hair. It was so frizzy and when my sister cut it real short parts of it would stick out. I was so self conscious about it. I finally found a good hair straightener so that fixed that,plus it's really long now ^_^.

Garnet: I really hope you ate more healthy and had a proper intake of vitamins and minerals while pregnant. Very unhealthy for both of you otherwise.

As for myself, 3 years ago I would have said I was very uncomfortable with my body. During my teens, I biked/walked around everywhere even in the city, and never had many problems. Going into college though, I looked at myself in the mirror one day and saw something I didn't like. I had a pudgy face and started to develop a bit of a belly, which i never had before. Decided to turn myself around and started going to the gym, that whole thing. It was especially disheartning because of my family members (Uncles, cousins included), i was one of the shortest due to my back problems (6', as opposed to my cousin 3 years younger than myself at 6'6, the next 16 and 6'4 etc.., uncles all being 6'3+), with many being body builders themselves.

Worked at it hard with various reasons to keep me going. Now I still go to the gym 5x a week, and constantly have people I don't know at work and party's coming up and asking me a few tips about bodybuilding and nutrition, so needless to say I feel pretty confident in myself now. Alot of my old buddies and family tell me I seem to carry myself with much more confidence, so being comfortable with your body is fairly important.

I guess I'm at peace with my body, and not unhappy with it in any way. I'm 5'11 and 165, within normal height and weight ranges. I do wish though that my acne is less severe, but perhaps that'll just come with time.

I weight lift, work out, and run daily.

I have a diet that I am on just about all-year-round.

I have a six-pack (and I mean visible)

I have a good chest (people notice it alot, and not just the girls either..)

I have a back with more lines and definition than I can identify.

My legs are muscular and above-average for my size in width, muscularity and thickness.

My arms are defined and the veins are visible at the biceps, definition in the triceps, lines at the shoulders, etc.

I am 5'8 and weigh in at about 160lb.

I am definitely more lean than bulky at this point in my life (though that can and usually does change as I do my cutting and bulking phases), which most people identify as being 'ripped' and 'cut'.

The only complaint I have and a very small one at that is a big butt. I don't know exactly why, but my butt is kind of big, seems genetic, girls have been telling me my whole life that I have a big butt - guys don't really check out my butt so no input there.

Other than that, I enjoy my body. It can get annoying sometimes with people always looking at me(some with envy, some with awe, some with the 'holy $hi!#' look), and asking how much I bench and how many sit-ups I do a day. But hey, it's highschool. And really, the only time people do notice (or atleast openly show signs of noticing) is when I where a wifebeater or a rather smallish shirt, or when I'm at the pool or beach. Other than that, it's the self-knowing of how much hard work you've put in and knowing that you, your mind, and your body are healthy and in prime condition.

Why do I keep my body in such good shape? Some of it is for the ladies. Most of it is for yourself, your confidence, and a better and healthier life. Some train their minds. Some train their bodies. I train both.

I'm okay with my body. There's nothing to create a complex about.

I am 100% fine with my body, from head to toe.

Because I stopped caring long long ago. Haha.

been getting too much muscles in my arms and legs lately...it scares me sometimes

Garnet, you have my sympathy! I've had the same problem, though I have never weighed as little as 110. I'm 5'7 and 125, and can't shake the feeling that I am fat. I have realized that my own perception of myself is false, and won't allow myself to starve for long periods of time because it makes me too sick.
I suppose I have reached a point that I can say, hey, you look pretty good. You may not be as skinny as you wish, but you are NOT FAT.
This may sound silly and corny, but it helps a lot if you look in the mirror and only think positive things about yourself. The worst a person can do is look in the mirror and search for flaws.

I used to have a problem with always thinking I was fat. But I realized I have a false perception of myself, and now I try REALLY hard not to think I'm fat. I'm 5'7, and 125 lb and in good shape. I suppose if I could change anything about myself I would have longer fingers (I have small hands and feet) and I would be taller.

Isn't it though :)

It's okay when I'm not feeling ill; that's when I'm most productive with improving my physical health. I guess I have to push past the boundaries when I'm ill too.

Some days, I can feel very very confident about my looks, I won't deny. Others, I feel very uncomfortable about my appearance. It's either side of the coin really. I think the reasons i'm not comfortable about my body is the fact that I have huge boobs - YEAH AWESOME RIGHT? No. It's not for me. They make me look larger than I actually am. And I hate wearing tight clothing because I feel consious that people think i'm trying to show it off. I don't even want to show it off, but to be blunt it's hard not to.

I'm uncomfortable with my frame too, i've not got a small frame so even if I were uber slim I wouldn't look like a stick. I'm ok with it, I do like have a good curve but I really do need to lose a few pounds - for my own self esteem.

For the most part I'm alright with my body, but in the past couple of years I've gained a little more weight than I'd liked to, and working at a cake restaurant doesn't help....

The ONE part of my body I just can't stand are my shoulders. No matter how much weight I lose or how much i work out they just won't..become normal. My shoulders are thick, and I have no idea how to get rid of the thickness :(...

The same for me, but add 3 inches, and about 50 lbs. I was starting to look great about 2 years ago when I was working out with my friends, but their school/personal lives got in the way (which led to me stopping of course). My sister, through some act of god, managed to convince me to try Yoga and Palattes(SP?). I'll just use the video I got in my sig as reference to how it's working out.

I tend to go in cycles at times.

When I was MUCH younger, I was frustrated because I never could put on muscle (I was as thin as a board and anything I ate never amounted to much of anything).

Then I went through a long phase of not caring too much.

Then I went through a phase of feeling I was putting on too much weight. That though changed when I walked a ton more and had a change of diet. I then became fairly happy with myself. However, as time has gone on, my diet has changed again, causing me to pick up some of that weight. As a result, I have been exercising more (although honestly because I want to stay in good health more than for appearance).

Well, I guess I really don't look that bad. I'm 5'9 and weigh about 120 pounds. It may sound like I'm really skinny, but I look very fit and muscular (not beefy muscular though as you may understand). But sure, I'm a thin guy. I just have a ridiculosly high metabolism, so even if I eat lots I just can't gain anything.

But, there are some things that I'm not that very comfortable with, and that is that I have a lot of hair growth on my ass (:tpg:), so I need to shave regularly and that is a bother. And then I have some days when I sweat alot (so much that I killed a dog by sweating once ;)) under my armpits so it usually shows through the sweaters I wear. So I have to wear alot of dark colours or thicker clothes so that it doesn't show that very much. But I like dark colours, so it's okay :p It feels very gross though to be all wet under the armpits.

I'm not comfortable with my body. I'm overweight (not excessively), yet I can't seem to lose pounds even when I'm on an exercise schedule. I also quit eating fast food. I wish I could return to the old days when I was more active in sports. These days, my fatigue and lack of drive for sports is killing me.
