bits of your body you used to hate and now dont GIVE A FECK about

[LadyMilfordHaven]

i used to never show my upper arms - until i was in my late 30s and post natal. I dont give a shit now

what liberating moment have you had?

I will Remus! I used to think that a-line floaty skirts made the disparity less obvious but I feel like a frump in those. Stretchy tube skirts = tru wuv.

Wonders if I have back hamsters? A whole new neurosis to explore!

Which bra shall I try? I usually have Fantasie balcony ones.

me too - i have a really nice one that they dont always stock all the time
I cant remember the moulded one. ask on the gazillions of bra threads

All of me. Fat belly, thighs, calves, weird pointy out boobs, I could go on... Now I don't care a fig.

I do have shiny shiny hair though :)

Ugh - the bra threads are too long. I can't cope with them once they get to 100 or so posts.

and size 18 women are a 32 back

My bum. Turns out having a disproportionately big one is quite sexy as long as I take care to not let it spread downwards iyswim.

My now DH took a photo of it clad in denim hot pants and a bikini top in Greece about ten years ago and it looked fab! It was as though a whole world of dressing was flung open.

Disclaimer - it isn't anything amazing, but not is it the size of Rhodes.

But have you dug out a tape measure? Have you? Hmm?

crete?

Size 18 and a 32 back? Yeah, right. I'm a 32 - am 10-12.

Curly hair. Used to straighten it every day. Now I don't even wash it every day, and can't remember the last time I dried or straightened it.

All of it - in my twenties I wouldn't look at myself naked in the mirror - now I happily strip off in changing rooms etc.

My hair going frizzy is the only thing that really bothers me now - and my legs are rather chunky but any time I start getting moany about them I remind myself that they work

my boobs. I used to detest them and their weird wide-apartness.over the years and the onslaught of the internet and other media I have realised that actually, they are fine. they are tits. they fed my babies. and actually, they arent weird at all. I just hadn't seen that many for comparison as a teen.

My nose. I used to have sleepless nights about my nose.

No idea why now, it's just a normal size, albeit ski slope nose. I don't even remember when I stopped fretting about it, I think somewhere in my early to mid twenties the rest of my face just caught up.

Birthmark on my hip, used to be fixated in it for some reason - not like anyone ever saw it, also, hated my knees, the inside of them. Now I don't
Care at all. Now it's all about hating my loose-skinned post baby belly and empty little boobs instead!

Lifeofpo - love it. Has anyone ever done anus bleaching?

My thighs. I quite like my legs but had this weird belief that they had to be in opaque tights to look good.

A few days ago, in this heat, I thought "sod it", slapped on the fake tan and went down the pub in a pair of lightweight short shorts I'd only ever wear abroad and then only on the beach.

And ... Little children did not point and laugh. Grown men did not run away screaming. My fellow women did not cover their eyes. (And DH said I looked lovely.)

I fell in love with my tits when I was 35. They're fab. Not too big, not too small and very perky despite feeding two hungry-nosed gets babies.

Lately I've not been giving a shiny shite about showing my arms and legs. Yes, I'm a bit white and not very thin at all. But now the rest of the female population has kind of caught up with me, so I'm less flabby than some, flabbier than others.

That's the good thing about not being exactly a looker when you're young. It all levels out as you get older. I didn't have much to lose. It must be horrible to be gorge and then watch it all sliding South away.

Still angsting about my thighs. What's the cute? Getting drunk?

Thanks Lady, I saw that thread and she really did have lovely legs.

I know however that mine are no where near as lovely and normal as those!

My boney ankles and collar bone. If they offend people...then they shouldn't look!

My knees, I'm not a fan of them in any way shape or form, so never get my legs out unless its on holiday by the pool. However I was so hot all of last week that I finally decided that it was time to wear a dress without leggings. I kinda figured that no one actually gives a shit about my knees, so why should I? So I got my knees out.

And I must say it was very very liberating despite feeling mightily weird at the same time, I'm now trying to find decent pants to wear under the dresses I've purchased and I'm hunting for the "perfect" daytime / work wear dress!

bibbi the are fine
