What annoys you about your body?

[Caramel]

My current dislike about my body is the one thing I used to like the most: my skin. It's always been very clear and soft, but lately I just get these terrible breakouts, and everything I do just seems to make it worse

I've also developed a strong dislike for my thighs

 

[eloes]

Arrgh, my thighs, hips and butt! I'm a size smaller on the top than on the bottom, which isn't as bad as the opposite would be (in my opinion--on me), but right now my butt feels so big. I usually like my body when I'm feeling in shape, but I have gained a bit of weight lately and I'm really just frustrated with my body at the moment. I was on the cross-country team last year and I was really fit and tiny, but I've gotten way out of shape since then.

Whenever I feel this way, I also notice a difference in my face. I'm young (16), so like a lot of young people I get a bit cheeky when I'm out of shape (ewww ). It isn't that big a difference, but I always notice things like that.
I know I'll feel better when summer comes and I can exercise...

Also, I can never decide whether or not I think I'm pretty. Sometimes I feel gorgeous and other times I feel like the homeliest little girl ever (paper bag time for the ugly duckling ).

Ooo, and I want longer legs and generally to be taller (I'm 5'6.5"-5'7" but I have a really tall family).

Now for the 'what I like...' post.

My feet, it's hard to keep them looking nice when they've walked as many miles as mine have.

Humm.. I've never liked my breasts but i REALLY hate my stomach.. I have the hardest time losing weight there and it is always the area I start to gain. *grrr*

I work my hardest to get rid of it but I somtimes doubt that it is possible

Thigh,butt & arms

my skin. i yearn for perfect skin. genetics are against me, unfortunately. i've recently made massive changes in my diet and lifestyle, trying the whole "if you are healthy and happy it will show in your skin" approach after years of dermatologists who've done very little that's helped me. we'll see what happens....

Well this is more of an internal thing, than an external, but I hate getting my period...! It's so uncomfortable and messy, seeing as I don't know how to use a tampon, and pads are messy!

For me overall... it's always been a problem of accepting my ethnic background... I grew up in the states and the typical standard of beauty has been basically Caucasian., so I've always had trouble accepting my petite size...dark hair, dark and almond eyes, etc. etc. So I've always had problems with almost all of my features..

i hear ya meowmix

I was just looking at the "be the other gender for a day" thread, and I realized that
really, I pretty much like my body the way it is...

My thighs. No matter what kind of weight I lose, they still won't look good in shorts.

Same here. I have chunky man-thighs like Britney Spears and I would love love LOVE to have teeny little thighs and all that. I'm seriously considering liposuction.

My university residence tummy and my nose (damn genetics)

oh well, thankfully I have a nice ***!

I hear ya, model mom. I don't understand how some people can keep their feet looking so nice. They must get pedicures every week and never have to walk anywhere.

 

[onehotgrrl]

My feet are big- and it makes me extremely self-conscious. ^^You guys were talking about getting pedicures- I can't bring myself to sit in a chair and have someone give me a pedicure.
My feet aren'y ugly and my toes are fine but I just can't get over the fact that the person doing it will be thinking about my feet.

I like having broad shoulders (result of being a swimmer) but the combination of broad shoulders and a not super skinny stomach but not a huge stomach is horrible because shirts have to be wide enough for my shoulders but then the shirt is too big around my waist. I also don't like my thighs. They are huge and the size of my thighs is different from the size of my waist so I have to buy jeans that fit my thighs but then the jeans are too big around my waist. I don't like my feet. They are size 10-11 ( 11 for dress shoes) and wide. I don't like the bone stucture of my nose.

Sorry to post again- but I missed this post the first time.

I really feel your pain. I also have broad shoulders. They don't really bother me all that much- but know I have come to the fact that I need to stop wearing short sleeve shirts. So now I just buy tank tops or long sleeve.

I always have to roll up my long sleeves because I'm five eleven and my arms are long- so the sleeves come above my wrist.

And I wear the same size shoes you do.
damn- now I'm all depressed.

 

[Sugo]

Am I the only one who actually likes my broad shoulders?
And i'm only 5'5".

I have a similar problem but I'm a man...my waist is now down to 26" I have genetically broad shoulders which have been augmented by years of pumping iron...imagine the horrible mess that leaves me in for getting shirts to fit.

I don't like my ears - they're too small!

 

[dramatique]

My skin. The rest I can deal with but I hate my constant breakouts, the greasiness which not even by mid-day one can fry an egg on, the already emerging "craters". The worst of it is that it's not bad enough to do anything about just bad enough to be noticable.

 

[southerncutie]

My thighs (which thanks to Charlotte5660's inspiration are starting to shrink) are huge... okay, not like huge, but way on the big and muscular scale and my arms have muscles on the top, but not the bottom- my stomach is now somewhere between becoming fit and flabby (all those crunches )... but I love my skin- thanks to my dad, no outbreaks, no oil, and no acne... I don't wear foundation or anything that could clog my pores to keep it clean

 

[cecilie]

i hate:
my shape (shapeless that is)
my short, fat legs
my shapeless butt and thighs
my weird overarms and shoulders

actually i look like a goose....
