love/hate GTKY

What body part/physical feature do you love about yourself and why?  Which do you hate?

For me, when I am thinner I love my boobs.  Pre-pregnancy, pre-weight gain I was a C cup and I thought it was perfect, not too big, not too small.

I hate my calves.  They are super muscular and just very wide.  Like, cannot even fit in extended calf knee high boots.  When I am in super good shape they slim down a little, but not much.  In high school the quarter back of the football team said he was jealous of my calves and I've hated them ever since.  It also doesn't help that I am short and have short legs, so they just look weird.

Re: love/hate GTKY

  • I used to love my stomach. It's still pretty good but I need to tone up.

    Hate my nose. I've broken it 4 times and can't breathe through it anymore. I've contemplated getting a nose job but don't know if I'll ever have the disposable income to do it.

  • Can I just be indifferent?
    I don't really love or hate any part of my body.

    Sure, I prefer my D/DD cups over my A/almost B's, but they come with an extra 5 inches on my waist and 20 lbs I don't really want.

    I like my long hair, but it's super straight and I have a hard time doing anything with it other that a bun or a braid because it won't hold a curl and I don't have 3 hours a day to do that anyway.

    My legs are pretty nice when wearing pantyhose, but without them (because seriously, who enjoys wearing them?) they look pasty white, scrawny and bruised.

    My hands are okay, except for the dry peeling cuticles and weak peeling fingernails.

    Oops, sorry, it's starting to sound like I'm depressed about my body. But seriously I am overall happy with it, though there's nothing I especially love or hate about it.
    I have a 13 inch scar down my belly from life-saving surgeries. Twice, i could have died, but i survived, and i am glad to show it off because without it I would not have met DH and have 2 beautiful boys.

    I love all of me.

    Oh wait, I'm not very fond of the scar tissue from the episiotomy. It still hurts sometimes after sex or a bowel movement. ;) lol.
  • I actually love my calves for the same reason some of you hate yours. No matter how big or small I get they stay curvy and muscular. I wore a short wedding dress so I could show them off.

    I'm not crazy about my stomach. It was always chubby and squishy. Post baby there is less fat there but still plenty of excess skin that doesn't seem like it's going anywhere.

  • I love my eyes. They are a bright light green. Sometimes they change to yellow

    Besides my weight.. I hate my chin. It does this flip up thing and just sucks.

  • I love my eyes and cheek bones. I have big brown eyes that are really fun for applying makeup.

    I could do with out my belly. I'm not a very big girl but it's definitely there. I would also change how hairy I am. If I don't keep up on it, it gets pretty unruly.

    Ugh, I hate being hairy. I'm blonde but all body hair is dark. My mom's side is Hungarian, soooo, I'm right there with you

    Hate: large boobs (not large in a good way-I'm super sensitive about them-they can ruin my whole day if I don't like the way I'm looking in my shirt at any particular point in the day and if anyone makes a comment about them I usually get offended) :(

    Love: my feet (they are small and cute)
  • Love: My big green eyes.

    Hate: This thread.

  • I hate my belly. I've never been thin, but my belly was flat- ish. Now it's just gross and flappy and so much bigger than the rest if me. I feel really oddly proportioned.
    I love my ass. It's fantastic. Even post baby, it's high and round and looks pretty decent. I mean, it's big, but I accept it.

    Dudes. Laser hair removal. Best money I ever spent. I am Greek. Really hairy. Coarse , thick hair. Now I don't even have to deal with it.

    I've always wanted to do that but I've heard such mixed reviews.  Is there a certain kind that works better?  Where did you go?  How often did you have to go?

    I went to ideal image. They had a sale at the time. The treatments were every 9 (?) weeks I think. I had to get a few extra treatments, but I have no complaints. It did take several months total though.
  • I love my stomach. It goes back to being flat and defined pretty quickly (two kids so far and she came back to me both times).
    Not a fan of my teeth. They're straight and healthy but they're small so I don't have that big beautiful smile and there's nothing I can do about it. And my nose is a little rough. I call it my Egyptian nose. It looks like that triangle nose on the Egyptians in paintings.
