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?

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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.

How ya doing, buddy?

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 was speaking idiomatically.

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.)

Most amazing jew boots

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.

FELIPE NO

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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 am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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.

I HAF LARGE PENIS

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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.

FELIPE NO

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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.
