I mean for this to be a positive thread. Need a pick me up after catching a glimpse of myself in my underwear in the mirror and wanting to cry!

I've been trying to find a sports bra that fits, but keep feeling incredibly down about my horrendously lopsided boobs (one DD, one G cup) - breastfeeding has made them saggy and stretch marky. I avoid looking at them at all costs.

I do however really like my eyes. I'm 3/4 black with dark skin and my eyes are very light green. Makes working with different makeup looks fun and I get the odd compliment here and there!

Same questions to mn....

I like my eyes, they’re almost violet. My eyebrows have always been strong.

I don’t like my non-existent cheekbones and jawline. I feel like I have such a mushy face.

Dislike my skin, ( severe psoriasis which is often open sores, weeping and infected)
Also torso, ( big breasts with small back, bit of tummy ,and had a big bum long before KK and it was fashionable.

I have good legs ( they could be longer and work better) but have pretty much always had good ones and am pleased as am not young.
I also like both my nose and ears and have dainty wrists . My hair is not bad now that it is longer again ( never getting it cut short again, it is too unruly and too much work)

I guess I have come to more or less accept myself and try and be the best version of myself that I can .

@Moonmelodies it's a few different colours and quite bulky Grin

I like my legs. They are quite long and have a natural gap even when I get plump. The negative to that is that I am short waisted.

I’m not sure what it is but I work with sen children and I’ve never had a challenging behaviour towards myself in the usual 20 min sessions that I do. My face appears to be a quite neutral in expression and I have distinctive eyes and eyebrows that even babies/toddlers are drawn toward

I like my legs which are slim and a nice shape. I like my boobs - mid size, not saggy at all- am 40 now and can do the pencil test and pass. I am reasonably pretty- like my nose and eyes(blue) and skin which is fair and freckled.
I hate my belly -very flabby and won't improve now.My weight yo-yo'd for years and it's damaged it, along with 3 pregnancies in 5 years.
I would like my hair to not be fine- drives me mad because it is hard to style.I get away with it because there is lots of it and it has a curl.
Am 5ft 7- would like to be an inch taller.
I would like longer, more elegant hands- mine are really small.
My bum is very small and I wish I had a more rounded bum.

I like my height, at 5’11 I’m quite tall, which suits me fine. I also like my bright blue eyes which have earned me a few nice compliments over the years.

I dislike my stupid immune system. I have asthma & all manner of allergies, which are a bloody nuisance and get worse as I get older.

ofwarren · 13/04/2020 23:08

I'm quite indifferent to my body and what it looks like. I don't think about it to be honest. Not because I actively try not to, I just never really look at it and scrutinise. It's a body and it's mine.
I don't like that I have hashimotos disease as I get terrible brain fog and exhaustion.

ProudMarys · 13/04/2020 23:21

Dislike my fine hair, but like it's wavy so I can work with that somewhat. Nose ok with that.
Like my eye colour, hazel, dislike my eye circles, my favourite part of my face is my is my lips and jaw line. I have quite transparent skin my veins show so dislike that. Like my height, weight I'm comfortable with that, I'm quite petite but definitely have a mummy tummy going on, but I'm comfortable in my own skin and never been too overly bothered by looks, which I think makes me content.
