seems we are all so negative about our bodies (me included)

thought it would be nice to do a thread about what you actually like about your body.

me? i have have nice lips. full.
and i love my boobs. when i was really skinny i never had boobs, im now a size 12/14 and i am the proud owner of a pair of 34Cs...which i like. just right for me.

what do you like about you? no negativity allowed!

LTEC, you need to add those hips to your list of best features then. I could not get enough pethidine (sp?) or gas and air.
I think I was given the pethidine too early though, it was at its best when I was being wheeled down the corridor, infront of a row of DHs, trying to pant and fly at the same time.

tulpe · 31/05/2010 23:57

LOL Cake - me too, darling, me too!

I love my bum because for reasons I cannot fathom, it attracted my DH.....

I have a beautiful back - remains lightly tan even during the winter months, with good muscular-skeletal definition.

That despite having 2 DCs, numerous skeletal-related back issues and ab separation 6 years after last giving birth, I still manage to hold myself with the poise I mastered through studying ballet for 10 years.

That I managed to successfully homebirth without pain relief and BF DC2, despite suffering PND as a result of a terribly mis-managed hospital birth and no BFing of DC1.

Although 40 beckoning loud amongst my close rl friends and I, I am the proud founder member of the FAFAF club (Fast Approaching Forty & Fabulous) . I am actually really looking forward to being 40!

I was actually quite skinny before pregnancy but just didnt see it. I love my new body with a bump. My arms and legs are quite good. I scrub up reasonably ok

PortiaNovmerriment · 31/05/2010 23:58

My nails are strong and I have thick hair. And good cheekbones under the blubber.

ShowOfHands · 01/06/2010 00:05

Portia, for those few that don't know, is a goddess. There's nothing to not love.

I feel I haven't entered into the spirit of the thread, so I have an okay, functioning brain. I'm good at sudoku for example but have no interest in it really. In fact, things I like doing I'm generally crap at. Like painting and singing along to the wireless and doing impressions of Boycie from Only Fools.

TheCrackFox · 01/06/2010 00:06

Good idea for a thread.

I have lovely thick hair
Very blue eyes
great tits
Nice arms
strong nails

PortiaNovmerriment · 01/06/2010 00:07

That blog is fucking funny

muggglewump · 01/06/2010 00:14

I'm a size 6-8
I've no stretchmarks.
My boobs are great and fed my baby.
I have amazing nails-strong, long, just gorgeous. I love my nails.
I have lovely hair. OK I complain about it but it takes 5 minutes to straighten it, and it's smooth and silky and lovely.

There will be more.....

pingviner · 01/06/2010 00:18

my body does what I demand of it

its got a great autonomic nervous system
and brilliant proprioception
I rather like my spleen too

Seriously, anatomy and physiology are your friends - utterly fascinating and astonishing! Whats not to like about your body, its a phenomenal, ever adjusting self replicating homeostatic miracle!

I think I am drunk and am off to compose a limerick to my liver sinusoids
without which I have very little chance of getting up tommorow morning

tulpe · 01/06/2010 00:21

LOL pingviner

niminypiminy · 01/06/2010 09:42

I have lovely feet -- I look forward to summer so I can wear sandals.

I love my hair -- anthracite streaked with silver.

Pavlov · 01/06/2010 09:46

My arms, strong, muscly but not too muscly, i guess well toned. My shoulders and back, well defined, good shape, look great with halter neck tops on.

Iatemyskinnyperson · 01/06/2010 09:56

My body is AMAZING!
Takes me where I need to go every day. Strong and healthy, painfree and in good working order!
*Gave me 2 gorgeous healthy boys

If we're being completely superficial (sniff) good legs, butt, slim ankles, nice shoulders, nice lips and good hair (despite being totally grey if I did not resort to dye)

Everything between shoulders and hips is a whole 'nother story and I have serious bingo-wings.

CMOTdibbler · 01/06/2010 09:58

I've got fabulous lips, and good legs and bum

doggiesayswoof · 01/06/2010 10:06

My shoulders.
Forearms and wrists, and nice long fingers.
I like being tall.

My body carried and nurtured my babies which still amazes me.

I actually like most of my body.

Still busy losing weight and then I will love all of it!

I have fabulous long, shapely legs, a nice neat bum, nice blue eyes, lots of freckles (which I love).

Generally speaking - it's all pretty good. Sometimes I think I'm odd to be so contented

foureleven · 01/06/2010 10:17

I detested (and I mean detested) every inch of my body from when I fell pregnant until 2 years after my DD was born when I met my now DP.

Now I love every inch because he has taught me I am beautiful.. yipeee! Love him.

bobbiewickham · 01/06/2010 10:21

Splendid tits - only little, but pert and perky.
Smallish waist.
Nice feet.
Nice neck.
Nice ears.
Nice blue eyes.

MarshaBrady · 01/06/2010 10:25

Height
Slimness and fast metabolism
Blonde hair, no grey
overall shape
face
oh and the no pain relief thing too
(and would mention no stretch marks but might have another and don't want to jinx it)

Petsville · 01/06/2010 10:37

Thick hair with no grey in it yet (that's genes: my grandmother was only partly grey when she died aged 88). Otherwise nothing, to be honest - though grateful it all works properly and I'm a healthy weight. Pre-pregnancy I liked my small waist, but now I don't have a good feature left.

HurleySatOnMe · 01/06/2010 10:38

I have fabulous arms, which I think is payback from working all hours on my dad's farm from the age of about 13 til 18. And a few years later it is from pushing a buggy all hours. I don't know what will become of them when dd2 can actually walk

SleepyCaz · 01/06/2010 10:39

I quite like my bum, but that's probably it. Oh and I have nice teeth

cyb · 01/06/2010 10:39

erm....erm....

stainesmassif · 01/06/2010 10:50

i have small ears, ankles and wrists....i like my extremitites. and my face isn't bad when it's been paid some attention. the best thing about the rest of my body is that it has a lot of potential.
