Seen many threads lately about women fretting over what body parts of themselves that they hate and it makes me sad. It makes me sad that I feel this way about myself, too.

Every single day I see new social media posts/articles about X celebrity has gained/lost weight and looks awful, or 'look at how great this conventionally attractive celebrity looks' then pick her apart down to bone structure and genetics, to make women everywhere race to the mirror once more and pick themselves apart for not looking like that. I'm sick of it.

So, what is your favourite body part? What do you love about your body?

I like my arms. They used to be extremely lean and toned and then I had kids and give up on myself for a while and they got fatter. They're leaning out again now that I have remembered I am a human being and started exercising/eating well again and I'm starting to like them! Yay. I also like my legs even though they're short and stubby as hell. But they're curvy and chonky and I like it.

I have to say my least favourite part would be my stomach as it is 90% loose skin and no effort. But, I'm coming to accept it for what it is; my children's first home and, well, it's just a stomach. Who cares.

Let's be having it sexy ladies

Probably my hands and long elegant fingers.

Also I have very nice full lips.

I also like the shape of my legs.

You know I've never looked at my fingers really until now. I have to say they are very wrinkly.

Big lip and nice leg club wooop❤️

My boobs are epic. They hold every dress in place and make my waist look tiny.

My right arm has an awesome tattoo sleeve.

I have nice skin. Am naturally pale with blond hair so my skin is really fair.

I’m carrying some extra weight so no wrinkles or lines on my face or body.

I’ve been told I have sexy feet.

It used to be my eyes and I've had strangers say the same including a women in a country pub who told me her husband was an artist and said to her he wanted to paint my eyes .
All that has long gone now , but it was nice whilst it lasted .

This isn’t about looks but I really love my womb. It’s grown two little humans that I love so I think it’s pretty amazing. I also think my boobs are pretty great because I’ve used them to feed and bond with my children.

Hollowvoice · Yesterday 17:18

My eyes.
And when properly "harnessed" my boobs are pretty great

canuckup · Yesterday 17:22

I've got amazing feet, hands and eyes. My boobs are great, I also have amazing calfs that look like I work out a lot.

The rest of me is so so

Aw that is such a compliment! Wish that would happen to me lol. You still have the same eyes, and I'm sure they are still mesmerising

Love this. This it what loving your body should be, too. Inside and out

Why not? There has to be something. Have you ever been complimented on your face/body?

My neck and my shoulders - particularly the bit where my neck runs into my shoulders. Even at my great age they still look good and dh still finds them kissable...

Also my hair. Except when I was a blonde child, I've always been sadly mousey with blonde highlights when I went in the sun. Now the grey and the blonde have combined. I look blonder than i ever have. No hair dye here.

And I like my narrow hips, although they do exagerate my apple belly.

My bum! I have hated it for years, massive thing it was. Now I’ve lost some weight and taken up swimming it’s flattening out and I love checking it out now 🤣. It’s no longer big and I’m quite taken with it again

Hellovaskelter · Yesterday 17:28

I like my shoulders! They are quite square, slim, and strong. Also, feet and hands aren’t bad; long fingers and toes. As for the rest of me though…. Oh dear! 🤪🤣

BitDrizzly · Yesterday 17:31

Long legs
Full lips
Naturally long, dark lashes
Thick hair

Plenty I don’t like, but nice to remember the things I do like!

My skin is reasonable for my age. A few have said I look younger than my age Otherwise no.

ladygindiva · Yesterday 17:34

My arse. It's fantastic. And still fairly good at 51. I also have nice lips. I have awful legs though.

nothingcangowrongnow · Yesterday 17:34

Hair - thick and wavy

AmazingGreatAunt · Yesterday 17:35

I like all of my body. There is nothing I can do to change it, so I feed it properly, wash it regularly and have it massaged whenever possible. It does not complain!

Muffsies · Yesterday 17:37

Small waist despite 3 kids. Long, natural strawberry blonde hair (can't see any greys at 49). Green eyes.

Quite like my 34B tits now, used to want bigger like most girls, but i see now that they're perfect for my body.
