What do you love about your bodies?

[CoconutGal]

I have always been very tiny & slim. As a teenager that was a blessing but when I had DD & my body changed after that I had to adapt to the way it was going to be from then onwards. Now at 26, I finally am comfortable & can honestly say I do love my body. Stretch marks, mum tum & jiggly bits alike.

I went shopping with DD today. I haven't been shopping for myself for over 2yrs. I look at the fashion in the shops & wonder what suits my body now. I come home chuffed with what I have (and the bargains DD picked up!) & im pleasantly surprised at how womanly & sexy I feel. I haven't bothered with my look for so long because life got hectic with our wedding last year, new job & TTC number 2 currently. I look at women around town & there are so many features of each & every one of them that make me think "wow you're beautiful".

So tell me, what's changed since having your DC's & what do you love about your body now? 😁❤️

I love that everything works. There are so many people suffering with illness or pain, I'm just so grateful that I don't have any condition like that. So far anyway.

Well I really like my shoulders, chest and back. They're toned. Everything else doesn't bear thinking about.

I have made peace with my big shoulders. I like having big boobs, good legs and a nice bum. I will probably never stop being annoyed with my feet for not being a a size smaller. Having wished I was skinny as a teen, I am now skinny due to illness and it ain't like it is in the movies.

I have never been overly bothered about my body, although I recognise I have been lucky enough that it has always been naturally quite healthy and relatively slim, without me ever doing too much to affect this.

I am currently pregnant, and while I don't think I love the state of pregnancy like some people do - I am very thankful and kind of impressed with how well it has handled pregnancy overall.

I love everything about my body and, for the most part, am very happy when I look in the mirror (the odd 5lbs notwithstanding).

I used to be overweight in my teens until I found clubbing and cocaine, but here, at the tender age of 37, my body is the best it's ever been.

I love that it bore 2 babies and ran a marathon. I love that it's strong enough to do whatever I decide to do with it.

I'm very lucky to have solid health and I genuinely don't take it for granted!

Immediately post-baby, I loved that I looked like Jessica Rabbit!

I've got quite nice hair and skin. Otherwise I'm a mess.

Nothing, I hate every inch

I quite like my abdomen - probably helps that it's never been flat, but it's a reasonable size now and soft because I grew a baby behind it.

I like my arms, they are strong and quite nice looking. I used to like holding ds in an impregnable arm circle, where he felt safe.

Hair
Waist
Legs from mid thigh down
Feet
Eyes
Cheekbones
in that order! The rest is ok, can't complain about how it looks and health-wise it's in fine fettle, plus my brain still seems to function most days

Everything apart from my stomach I'm slim have great boob's bum and legs but have some loose skin on my tummy and I absolutely hate it the thought of never wearing a bikini again at the beach is a little depressing.

I'm not sure I want to read this. I hate my small(ish( boobs and although I'm fairly slim this will depress me.

I love my smallish boobs. Great asset over the years. Never had to think of what to wear to suit them.
In 50s now and friends complain of bits and pieces giving them trouble. Love that all my bits are working even if l groan every time l get out of the car.
Only bit l struggle with is wish my teeth were whiter but dont give it much thought.

I have a waist length hair.
I'm overweight and middle aged, generally feel ugly.

Quite good legs, bit short. Skin pretty unwrinkled at 49. C'est tout.

I'm a swimmer (for a couple of years now, on and off) and my shoulders have developed into something lovely..toned, strong and shapely, and still feminine...I love the way they look. The rest of me is gobsmackingly awful though.

I like that I'm tall and slimish. My legs are my best feature and if I do lots of running and squats my arse looks ok.

Id like to have smaller boobs, less Mum tum and arms like Michelle Obama.

The best thing though is that it all works more or less as it should.

My body looks repulsive but it's 6 stones lighter than it was in January, it has created my wonderful children and it works without illness or pain. And that's enough!

I shall be parading around Majorca in a size 16 bikini, wobbly bits, t-shirt tan, cellulite, stretch marks and all on full display with zero fucks given next month if anyone would like to see it in all its shabby chic glory.

I'm lucky enough that I like everything about my face and body, however I feel the first poster hit the nail on the head - I am SO grateful that my body works well and I have no illnesses or pains. I feel incredibly lucky every day that I am healthy, it shouldn't be taken for granted.

i love that I don't have to workout or be very strict with my diet and will always stay a size 10.

Nice boobs (30DD) and always had a nice bum and flat(ish) tummy. I have a pretty face.

Hair could be a bit healthier, hips a little smaller and I'd like to get some lipo on my inner thighs once we stop TTC/popping out kids. I have chunky calves but I did dance all throughout my childhood and teenage years so they're stocky dancers legs.

I love a bit of self-love! I'll never loathe my body, a motherfucking giver of life! Like I literally create life!

Pre pregnancy I loved my small waist and flat stomach that I had worked hard to achieve. Now I'm pregnant I actually really love the roundness of my belly, the total opposite to before but it feels good that it's doing what it needs to do for my baby. I like my hands as well, they're good hands.

I have good hair that looks better the less I do to it. Tiny feet that look lovely if my nails are a bright colour.

I still look younger with no make up on and after years of it bugging me I'm now pleased to still get asked for ID occasionally in my mid 30s.

I've also always wanted to be taller but now I like my height. If anything, having a tall husband makes being short nicer.

Losing a stone would be nice but when I find myself criticising anything I know I'll look back when I'm old at how I look now and wish I'd been more grateful so I try to keep that in mind.

I love my eyes, breasts hands and legs. I've got a good bum too actually!

I'm 68. My face still looks good and I have great hair.
The rest is bigger than I'd like with some lumpy bits but I'm good at choosing funky suitable clothing. All's good :)
