What do you like best about your body?

There always seems to be a post where people are saying, "I hate my _________!" or "I wish my _________ would just go away!"  But sometimes it's nice to focus on the positive, and I have arbitrarily decided that now is that time.  And so, the question is-- What do you like best about your body?

My nails.  I'd never had any before.  I'd been a nailbiter for 29 long years.  When I started working on changing my body I started adding other things in addition to losing weight.  I finally broke that habit of nail biting and actually have long nails that I keep french manicured. 

My back because it doesn't seem to gain weight.  :D  Even my feet and hands gained weight when I was pregnant but my back always stay reliably the same.  :)  And it's pretty sexy too.  ;)

Great thread!

hi,

i like my arms, legs, butt and my eyes.

I like the curve from my waist to my hips, and if I am having a bleurgh day I just like my eyelashes - I have to say I really like them and i get quite a few compliments on them as they are very long and curled up!

My eyes, my hair, my ears, my akles (if they didn't swell so much), my feet.  Everything else needs lots of work.  I'd be drop dead gorgeous if I lost my weight!! :)

I love my hair, it's thick and wavy and no grays as of yet! ;)

I also like my butt, even when I'm heavy I get compliments on it!

And my eyelashes, they are still long and black and thick even without mascara.

What I like best about my body is my health and resilience.

I love my shoulders, and the fact that my body is very tough and strong!

I like my brain too, clairelaine! It is probably my favorite part of me. Today I happen to be very fond of my stomach as well. It is becoming so much flatter than it used to be. What a wonderful feeling to actually SEE results of all my effort. :D

 I wish I had a better answer to this question, but I would have to say my eyes.  (if I have the right bra and shirt on, my chest would be up there too.  No pun intended)My husband says I have a cute nose, but I don't agree.  

  I've always been self conscious about my body, and as I lose weight I'll find some things I like more.  I'm actually looking forward to liking my body!

Clairelaine - I LOVE my brain, sometimes I just wish I knew how to use it better.  ;)

Honestly, I read this post earlier and couldn't pick ANYTHING about my body I liked.  I didn't post before because I knew that my attitude was sour and it needed to change.Now, for whatever reason, that thinking has changed. 

I like basically every part of my body.  I mean, it's not perfect... in fact, far from that.  But I like my imperfections.  It makes us unique and more interesting.  I like what my body can do when I ask it to... I like that my body can keep going even when my mind can't... I like that my body has always been naturally prone to putting on muscle... I like that even though I should have gained about 6-7 pounds in the last two months because of really poor choices, I only gained about 2... and I would LOVE my body if I took better care of it and got it into tip-top shape (though I wouldn't mind having more of a pear shape rather than an appley-bean).

Anyway, I think this thread is totally awesome!  It MADE me think of what I like about my body.  And though I wouldn't have chosen this body had I a choice at birth, it's mine and it's been good to me even though I have treated it so poorly so often.  This thread is motivation to take care of what I've got before it's gone, and to love my body and help it be the best it can be!  ROCK ON!  :D

I like my face, my heart and my brain. :)

I used to work 12 hour night shifts as a weaver in a woolen mill and I spent every minute of those 12 hours on my feet. As a result I have been told (by several independent sources *grin*) that my glut's are one of my best attributes. I am working on adding my abs as a second, but they are not their yet!

Hmmm... my boobs (36C). I'm pretty fond of them, all things considered.

I also like my eyes a lot--they're biggish and a pretty green, and I like my eyelashes too, because they're dark and thick and pretty. :)

Well. It took my all 6 pages of this thread just to think of something but I like my skin. It's really soft all over. Whether I've lost weight today or not.

my flat stomach(ish) and my back. Strong and i think sexy

my boobs and my face - i like my eyes, and my lips, and apparently i have a nice nose? i always thought it was a bit big, but alot of people have told me they want it.. so i've learned to like it. and my hair, its long and very thick, but i love it.

Boy informed me he loves my feet. Apparently it is because they are so little and i always have nicely painted toenails, and my hands because they are also little and he likes the look of french manicures.

I like my boobs, even though they've shrunk since dieting!! lol

Otherwise... my face.
I like my eyes and my lips.

Tough one.... just realised how much time I spend thinking about allthe bits I DON'T like.

I suppose I like my back and my lips.

I have great theighs! no marks or discoloratioin.  Everyone including women compliment me on them. I also have great cheek bones.   Too bad about the rest of me!
