S.K. asks from Minneapolis, MN on July 18, 2011

What Do You Like/dislike About Your Body?

Hello! I am 32 yr old mama of 2 boys, 3.5 yrs and 15 mths. I have always been able to eat whatever I want with little exercise and still look good. However, time and 2 babies is making things shift a little ;) Tell me, what do you really like about your body and what do you dislike?

For me, I like my blue eyes, my thin limbs, long legs "just enough" booty ;), my fingernails :)

Dislike: crooked teeth, belly that bloats easily, hips wide in proportion to my small waist.

Respond to Question

What can I do next?

I hate my weight. Love my eyes and long eye lashes and soft silky hair. Even though I am no spring chicken I still have some young quality's. Most of all I am just happy to be alive.

Wish I had your small waist. I have a thicker one that makes me very irritable!

Spider veins have invaded my legs - what's up with that! Now I have to go have a vein place get rid of them for me.

The 50's is going to prove very expensive for me to look decent, I'm afraid!

LOL! D.

C.J. answers from Milwaukee on July 18, 2011

Even though I want to lose weight I don't have a 'goal weight' but a BRA SIZE! I'm the only person that I know of that wants a certain 'bra size.'

Ideally it's a 36 C. Currently I'm a 38DD. A year ago I was a 44DD.

I lose inches but NOT cup size.I must be some freak of nature. LOL!

I dislike my 'broken' parts of my body like: my right shoulder, right knee and jaw (I have some wickedly painful TMJ!)

I like my hands, feet, smile and eyes.

I LOVE my smile. It is literally a 10k smile. :) I love my long legs and slim shape. I hate the purple spot on my nose from hitting the side of the swimming pool and my messed up toe nail (hopefully this will go away with time).

My small boobs do bother me, but I don't hate them.

O and I hate that I am always, always cold. We have our AC set on 76 and I still sleep with a sheet and blanket. brrr

Orgasms.

Getting from point A to point B, breathing, and all the other necessary things that keep me able to get from point a to point b. I am SO lucky to be ambulatory!!!

:D :D :D
________________________________________________________
Dislike:
The list is rather long, but most of it revolves around being in constant pain. In fact, the other day I realized; the only parts of myself that don't hurt are my left arm and my head. Whenever I get a headache, I'm down to my left arm!!! Drats. Foiled again.

We could also add curly hair (born with that), or carrying 20-25lbs of extra *skin* on my belly (carry 40lbs in your uterus, and just watch your skin NEVER recover). God, I want plastic surgery. All that extra skin is HEAVY (and makes my back hurt. My back never used to hurt, but over the past few years it's laid me out a few times, each time for over a month. It's this stupid *weight* dragging on it all the time. You can get breast reductions for backpain, but not an abdominoplasty.)

I was a bit depressed when I read this question, thinking, 'there is nothing, just nothing I like about my body'.

Then I remembered, I have a fabulous, wonderful, beautiful instep that ballerinas are envious of. I have no unsightly facial hair, and my teeth are as naturally straight as an arrow. My head is also well-shaped for hats. I look good in hats.

C.Z. answers from Omaha on July 19, 2011

I like my Christian heart. I try to do the right thing and not worry about the stuff that simply matters very little. If you are kind to people, take care of your neighbors, have a good sense of humor, laugh often and remember to praise God for every blessing in your life, you will be amazed who looks back at you in the mirror!

Probably not the answer you were looking for...but it was the first thing that came to mind!

Dislikes: My delicate hands--I need mans hands to do the work around here! My big flabby arms that I inherited from my mother. I lift weights, but you wouldn't know it. I always have to find tops with stretchy sleeves.

Likes: My boobs, hair, eyes, ears, lips, teeth, chin.
