What is your favourite feature on your body and why?

We put so much pressure on ourselves and concentrate deeply on our insecurities that we often forget about our good bits (I think so anyway).

Mine: my eyes. I'm mixed race with dark skin, but my eyes are bright green/blue. People comment on them a lot but I forget how unique they are when I look at myself...

Your turn!

my wrists. my fingers are a bit short and stumpy but I have nice wrists. like admiring them when I'm doing Pilates

Sayhellotothesun · 10/06/2018 21:33

Nothing.

GetOrfMyBin · 10/06/2018 21:33

I honestly cannot think of one bit of my body that I like. I’ve sat and thought for 5 mins but I have massive issues with my body and I’ve always hated it. As I get older I just find more things to not particularly like about it .

NoParticularPattern · 10/06/2018 21:33

I have skinny ankles and wrists. Despite being pretty fat currently (working on it!!) they are still very slim. I was devastated when my ankles swelled up after giving birth- the fact that they were so swollen was more upsetting than that day I looked down and saw my nipples were actually bleeding.

DramaAlpaca · 10/06/2018 21:34

I love my neat, pretty little ears and I have a nice nose. I'm fond of my long fingers too & my ankles. Oh, and my skin which is barely lined at all in my 50s.

Sayhellotothesun · 10/06/2018 21:34

I suppose I like my innards as they work and keep me going haha. I don't like anything on the outside though.

Mousefunky · 10/06/2018 21:34

My rear end Grin

TheClitterati · 10/06/2018 21:39

I love my proportions. And soft skin.

StealthPolarBear · 10/06/2018 21:42

I hate tjr fact I am overweight and have no features I can pick out as ones I love but my body in general is amazing. I am (touches wood) rarely ill and have nothing that niggles or bothers me, at an age where my peers are starting to complain. I have a high metabolism, and being overweight is entirely my own fault, my body tries hard to burn the calories . I can run when I need to and walk for miles despite being unfit. At the age of almost 40 I have perfect eyesight (am aware this might change soon). My only health complaints are scalp psoriasis and incredibly cold white fingers when it gets even a little bit chilly. I need to be more grateful and look after it.

Oddcat · 10/06/2018 21:43

I'm quite happy with my figure , eyes ( green with yellow round the pupils) and ears .

FairyDogMother11 · 10/06/2018 21:43

I like my smile, I've got quite good teeth and fairly decent lips. My waist is always tiny no matter how much weight I put on. I can't really think of anything elseGrin

SukiPutTheEarlGreyOn · 10/06/2018 21:43

My nicely shaped nose. In the past, the favourite feature would have been having big, wide eyes but now they are more like little currants - what’s that all about then?

SnookieSnooks · 10/06/2018 21:45

Hair! Nice colour!

ali0210 · 10/06/2018 21:46

The only parts of myself that I like are my blue eyes, my naturally red hair and my big bum!

FrankensteinsSister · 10/06/2018 21:48

My legs. Also have nice brown eyes.

SerenDippitty · 10/06/2018 21:49

Long muscular legs.
Good shoulders, arms not bad, but at 57 am I too old to show them?
Very thick hair
Blue-green eyes.

Clandestino · 10/06/2018 21:49

My hair is very thick and I have multicolour eyes. The rest is slowly losing to gravity.

Miladamermalada · 10/06/2018 21:50

My hair. It's thick and shiny.
Also my back (weird)- It's just a nice upper back, neck and shoulders.
I have minging fat hands and feet, not much I can change there.
I have good face skin after years of acne.
In a bra my boobs look fab.

LifeofClimb · 10/06/2018 21:54

Lots of green eyed people who like their eyes Grin

I'm another one. Mixed race, dark hair, olive skin, amber green cat-shaped eyes. SheGotBetteDavisEyes Grin I quite like my forearms too!
As cheesy as it is, I'm generally very happy that my body serves me well and my only real complaint is that it sometimes gets very achy - but we all do so I really am grateful I don't have health problems. I just try and look after my body as best as I can barring the odd icecream and as a result, I'm not too overweight and my skin, eyes, teeth, nails etc aren't too bad.

Echobelly · 10/06/2018 21:56

Eyes - they're large and quite an interesting grey-blue which is sometimes commented on.

Legs come a close second - always had fairly good legs.

Acidrain · 10/06/2018 21:58

My hair... Spent 7 years growing it from above my ear and now it's at the middle of my back. It's so thick and curly!

thegreylady · 10/06/2018 22:00

Not much really, I am in my 70s, overweight etc but my dh says he loves my smile and my skin is soft without too many wrinkles!
In another way I’d say the scar from my breast cancer operation, my constant reminder that survival is possible and I am here. When I was diagnosed my biggest wish was to live long enough for my youngest grandchild to remember me. Well he wasn’t even born then and now he is 9. We have made memories.

LittleLionMansMummy · 10/06/2018 22:01

My mouth. I have nice shaped lips.

QuackPorridgeBacon · 10/06/2018 22:02

thegreylady Aww, all of that is really lovely. It’s so nice to hear how you view your scar. Wonderful Smile

Furx · 10/06/2018 22:04

I have stunning eyes

And really nice calves and ankles.
