    I think you look beautiful, greengirl.

    i have to say, i am very insecure about my c-section tummy. they had to cut the muscles, and its hard to get my stomache back to what it used to be, or at least close, and i want to lose some weight.

    I think it's so important to look at the things you don't like about yourself and learn to love yourself with them and then learn to love them for making you you which is of course beauitufl and exactly as you should be.


    I have like 3 hairs on the bottom of my chin- they don't show that much but have always caused be grief. I have thick black body hair, which i'm actually SUPER learningg to love but it's taken a while to gget there.

    sometimes I think my eyes are to sunken into my head.
    and my lips are small
    and my boobs are slightly bigger then they were last year and I liked them better before...

    But think I'm really learningg to be glad of all these things. they are part of me. but can't deny sometimes they get to me.

    After having my daughter back in March, I have more insecurities that I did before getting pregnant. I know I'm not the only one. I hate the stretch marks, I hate the extra baggage that hasn't gone away. It's not attractive. My husband is coming home next week from a 13 month deployment and I'm super worried about how he's going to look at me. When he left, I had a smaller framed body and when he returns it will be far from that. I'm not HEAVY but im not small either.

    I have always had a thin frame (I was once compared to a Holocaust victim in 8th grade) but I've finally put on a little weight. Three years ago, I was almost 30 lbs underweight, but I have finally reached a healthy weight for my height at about 5'8." I have had to accept changes in my body.

    I have asymmetrical breasts. Three years ago, the left was bigger at an A cup while the other was pretty much flat and now I have one B cup and an A cup (left is still bigger!) which can be a pain b/c no bra will fit correctly as I have to fit the larger breast. My ass has finally got a little cellulite and more round when it used to be perfectly small w/ not a hint of fat. My stomach is no longer a taunt 4 pack and it's gotten a little bigger. I went from a size 0 to a size 7 in six months and I am now a size 9 in most pants.

    My thighs still don't have a pinch of fat. I remember for wrestling I had to have a certain amount of fat on my thighs and the trainer couldn't get a measurement. The coach took a measurement from my knees b/c I would have had to get a doctor's approval if I had 0 as my thigh measurement. We cheated, yes but who was counting?

    Also, from birth I have had pectis excravatum. That means my breast bone is twisted and it is very prominent (water collects in the concave surface when I take a bath). I once had a doctor tell me that I had the worst case of pectis excravatum that he had seen untreated. The only treatment is surgery and I really don't want anyone fucking w/ my breast bone. I don't want to mess with anything that close to my heart, which I find more important than superficial appearances.

    That's about it. I like my body and try to stay healthy by exercising and eating right. I would rather be healthy than stick thin again.

    Peace and love

    I have a nice body and I'm happy with it. However, I have like two stretchmarks that bug the hell out of me. I dunno how they got there, I have never been overweight. Oh well. Life goes on :)

    Stretch marks- women aren't the only ones who are plagued by them! My fiance has them on his hip area and they are very noticeable. Luckily, they don't bother him b/c only I see them.

    Peace and love

    my husband is underweight. he's 5 foot 11 and weighs 127. not a stretch mark in sight, not a a pinch of fat. gotta be honest, it kinda hurts to have sex sometimes b/c he's bony. but i wouldn't tell him that b/c he has issues with him being so skinny. he hates being so skinny.

    I wish I didn't have freckles, and I wish that I had flawless skin.

    Freckles are beautiful and add character, many models pencil in freckles! I feel they give that lovely demure look. Love your freckles, and one day you'll stop noticing them!

    I have given up relationships because I had a lumpectomy due to breast cancer and I have a huge cave in on my boob. I had an implant in it that ruptured so I had to have it removed and didn't want to go thru that again. You ladies are all still very young. Spend more of your time focusing on all of your positive points which will by far outweigh what you perceive as being negative. We usually are our own worst enemies. We perceive ourselves differently from what other people think of us.
