    I hate my fat stomach the worst. But I've been told before that it's cute, so it's in the eye of the beholder!

    This is SO in the eye of the beholder. Being flirtaticious with extremely attractive people usually makes me feel better. I'm cute, and even though I'm not perfect, I know I make myself attractive to very emotionally and physically attractive people by being smart, sensitive, and urbane.

    i really don't like my body, especially right now.
    i go through phases of being semi-satisfied with it, to basically hating it.
    but lately i just feel really gross. :(

    None of you ladies should be worried about a thing on those angelic bodies of yours. No doubt that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and nothing, and I mean nothing, is sexier on a girl than confidence. Everyone has a unique body, and it's truly amazing to see that compressed bundle of flesh and bones and nerves and veins and blood and organs move with the grace we call life. Everyone's body is beautiful, despite what the magazines and culture say.

    Fuck the naysayers cuz they don't mean a thing.

    I love all your bodies... :)

    i am one of them. my friend tells me its lame and i shouldnt worry..

    i know i shouldnt but.. its so hard when im feeling great and then a picture of paris hilton comes up and she is all glam and gorgeous and skinny mini... im not saying it completely throw me off.. but pciture after picture it just adds up.

    i had this friend and we used to starve for a week at a time (excluding liquids) but you know.. exercise can really boost up your self esteem...

    i used to have problems with my body...

    but now i dont. you know what i did?

    i just told myself, "i am so beautiful!" and found one thing i liked on my body everyday.. and in the beginning i absolutely hated my boobs because they were too small... but then, in the end, ive started to like them, they fit my body type and im glad i dont have back problems because of big breasts... sure, there are days when im like "ugh, look at me... im so f*#^c*% ugly... but most of the time, i just try to find things i love about my body.. its really helpful on the "down" days!

    It's so strange to hear all you beautiful ladies saying things about how you feel unpretty and don't like your bodies and starve yourselves. I look at all of you and I think "Wow, they're so beautiful" and it never really occurs to me that you might have self-image issues, because you just exude confidence and I find you all very sexy and beautiful. I guess you never can tell what others are thinking or how they're feeling, and we're never really as alone as we might think we are.

    I generally like my body. Sometimes I wish I had bigger boobs or prettier hair, or crystal clear skin, but hey, it's just me and no one can be perfect.

    I used to feel so ugly, too self conscious about my "flaws"....but then i realised I wasnt feeling like that because of the things that i didnt particularly like about me and that i thought arent pretty, i was feeling like that cos I thought people wouldnt like me...and now i'm just fuck it, if they dont like the way my body looks is their loss cos i'm a fricking sexy girl, smart, funny and warm....I dont want to look like a skinny mosquito, my body is like it is because I was born with it, nothing i can do about it, so why hate myself? I'm healthy, my brain works (well, yeah it does) I dont have any kind of disfiguration or disability...so i'm lucky, cos everything works!
    No piont on dwelling about our bodies, cos we're beautiful cos we're alive and healthy!!!

    Me and my body's relationship go up and down. Like this weekend, i had a wrestling tournament. I feel great on the mat, in my singlet. But when i look at my videos i feel so horrible, like a blimp! lol i wish i was joking. As a wrestler i get a lot of pressure to cut weight, but as a girl its really hard to take the critism for my weight, and feel good about myself. what ive started to realize from my years of porading around almost naked, is as long as i have conifdabce in myslef, no one else matters or should care...and if they do,screw them, they dont matter!

    i hate how i look, i always have, but it is not because i am influenced by images from the media. its about how i feel in myself, i feel ugly both inside and outside. given the choice i would stay exactly how i am and think myself beautiful, although i do not think that this will happen.
