The part of your body that you hate the most

[hyphenate]

For me, it's my upper arms. I call them bat wings. They hang, and they're floppy. It makes it impossible for me to wear sleeveless shirts. If I could afford to have them nipped and tucked, it would be worth it. But I can't, so they continue to hang and flop and be the pain in the ass that they are.


What do you hate most about your own body?

[Droopy]

1. My brain

Schizoaffective disorder requires that I take expensive medication for the rest of my life so that I can function sanely.

30. Everyone who's posted below should read your post...

:hug:
Makes my cellulite seem pretty damned insignificant...

[SoyCat]

36. But you're still functioning. Bush can't say that...just saying.

[LeftyMom]

2. My breasts

Or, more accurately, my utter lack of breasts. :(

Still waiting on puberty,
LM

[Redstone]

5. No lack that I can see.

Based on photographic evidence, that is.

10. I buy good bras

I was still an A cup even when nursing.

[Redstone]

15. Victoria's Secret is your friend, yes? Although hooter size has never been

important to me. What's important to me is who they're attached to...

20. Nah, I got a really snotty response the one time I went in there and asked

if they had a particular bra in my size. As mall bra stores go, Fredericks has more stuff in my size by quite a bit.

I don't care so much about the boob thing itself, though I got a lot of grief for it when I was younger, it's more that it makes it a real pain to buy clothes, bras, etc. Finding an A cup nursing bra was a real pain in the ass, most of the specialty nursing bra makers make anywhere from a B on up to some enormous size like G or something, but no A cups. Finding shirts and dresses that don't rely on boobs I haven't got to hold them up in the front is a real pain in the ass too, with formals and other really tailored items I pretty much have to get something custom made.

22. Ohhhh...

I was at Target yesterday and they've got some reeeeaaaaally purty 'pretties' and in small sizes, too.

And WAY less expensive than Victoria's Secret.

[LeftyMom]

25. Shhh, quiet with my bra hookup!

I get most of 'em there (they're one of the few places that routinely stocks a 36A, they even have some styles in a 38A) or at Big Lots, which is my favorite because I can get really expensive brands in discontinued styles for less than $5. Sometimes I find things I like at Ross or Marshalls too, but that's less frequent.

[Redstone]

23. Jesus. You'd think that we, as a society, would have moved beyond that,

wouldn't you?

I'll just reiterate my position, and hope it makes your feel better about yourself: The only thing that counts is who they're attached to.

And I've always believed that.

[LeftyMom]

26. It's amazing how far women will go to slap other women down

I've long since decided the most insidious tool of patriarchy isn't misogynistic men, it's damaged women.

[Mutley]

28. sorry, wrong spot

:blush:

[Rhiannon12866]

43. I'm not exactly buxom, either, LOL, but you should meet my friend.

We met at camp when we were 12 and I knew her through high school. She had absolutely nothing and used to wear the undershirts that I still wore at night (I started wearing a bra at 12, but still wore undershirts to bed) when we got dressed up, since she had to wear something. We were about the same size, otherwise. Then I didn't see her again for a lot of years until she and another friend just called me out of the blue. I was so glad to see them both again and she hadn't changed, very pretty girl, but no bosom. It doesn't seem to have made any difference to her. She's confident and has done quite well. I'm a B, and I decided that, compared to her, I'm fortunate in that department. Bra size doesn't matter, anyway, it's who you are and what you think. And you're here on DU, so you must be doing pretty well.:-)

3. Whichever one hurts the most any given day.

They take turns torturing me.

31. Sometimes vanity just needs a reality check...

Thanks for your eye-opening post. :hug:

[mainegreen]

4. My second little toe on my right foot.

It's always been.... bad.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. I have those arms, too.

We used to call them "music teacher arms," back when I was a kid and didn't have them....

[reyd reid reed]

7. I've got a whole list...

I wouldn't even know where to start.

[Road Scholar]

16. My dear young friend.

I have seen your pictures and you are very young and very beautiful. Please do not sell yourself short. You and LeftyMom worry about things that do not matter. Accept the things that you canot change, and realize your best part is who you are.

[reyd reid reed]

21. Awwwwww

You're sweet. 'Young' is relative, I suppose. But it seems like these days, it's more my relatives. I'll be 46 next month.

And, while there are some things that I don't like about myself physically and can't change, sadly there are some that I could with a little bit of effort and some discipline.

I'm sadly lacking in the discipline department, though. I've gotta get better about that, too.

[Road Scholar]

27. Your best days are ahead of you. 46, ha a mere child. It's all

between your ears.
I'm 63 going on 16 and if I told you about my life, you would swear I was lying. Maybe someday. Focus on the good things.

[Xipe Totec]

8. A tie between third arm and second head

Don't know what I was thinking when I had the implants.

- Zaphod

[GoddessOfGuinness]

32. Well the third arm could be usefully employed

smacking whichever head acted up... :toast:

[Blue-Jay]

9. My prehensile tail.

It has a mind of its own. :(

[mainegreen]

12. Interesting. nt

[petronius]

11. My beer belly - what's it gonna take to get rid of this thing!?

I mean, I drink beer all the time, eat microwave popcorn, sit in bed all day watching TV/DUing the internet, supersize my fast food, and never leave a bag of chips unfinished, but nothing I do reduces this gut in the slightest!

:donut: :beer: :popcorn:

[Mojambo]

13. If you figure it out, let me know

We have almost the exact same lifestyle.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

34. You need more beer...

It will make you realize how attractive your belly is.

[petronius]

38. Hey, that's deep! I never realized that beer-goggles work in

the mirror too! As it happens, I am drinking a beer, and since the belly is holding the computer in place I'm feeling more genial toward it already...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

41. The healing properties of beer are amazing, no?

:toast:

[BreweryYardRat]

14. You might be able to reduce floppiness by lifting light weights to tone up

Me, I hate my gut.

It's big, it's fat, and it screws my chances with the ladies.

[Ariana Celeste]

17. I also hate my upper arms.

I can deal with my gut, that's no big deal, but I hate feeling uncomfortable in tank tops. :(

[deadparrot]

18. My thighs.

I can exercise and count calories all I want, they're still abnormally large, while the rest of my body is fairly proportionate.

[ZombieNixon]

19. My wrists.

Too bony to fit with the rest of my arms. :(

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

24. My stomach always has some fat on it.

My arms, back, shoulders are all muscular. My legs are lean. I always have some belly fat though. It's still bikini ready but not how I would like it to be. Of course, if I exercised & drank less it'd go away, but that's no fun. It doesn't bother me that much.

[petronius]

39. It shouldn't bother you at all...

A little belly-curve on a fit woman is ultra-sexy. (If you'll forgive me for being so gott-damn personal.) Now post pics. A lot of them.

B-)

[Mutley]

29. Mmm, probably my hair.

It gets frizzy unless I do a bunch of stuff to it.

[Fountain79]

33. My hands....

I have small hands for a guy my size....not very proud of them...

[bluethruandthru]

35. You know, I could probably find a problem

with just about every part of me. But, as long as it's healthy...who cares about a little jiggle or dimple here and there..right? :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. My belly.........

My dear hyphenate, I had this damn belly even when I was thin......

I've managed to get the fat off it a little, but it's still fat.....

It doesn't make me as sick as it used to....but still....:puke:

My apple belly.....the bane of my body!

[Ediacara]

40. my stomach

I so want abs, but I am sooo lazy.

[pitohui]

42. well let's just say

when i saw that movie face/off i really thought the whole concept of the face transplant was the best idea i'd ever heard of

[Evoman]

44. Pectus Excavatum!

Look it up...I have an indentation in my chest. Its not that noticeable, since its a minor case (not as bad as the ones online) but its intefered with my weight-lifting. I find it very hard to put muscle on my chest, so the pecs tend to be outta sink with the rest of me. My shoulders and arms doubled in size the first year after I started working out (lol, since I'm an ectomorph, thats not saying much), but my chest...not even close. My doctor advised me to stay away from hard contact sport because of it (though its never been much of a problem).

On edit




This is what a more severe form looks like. Mine is not even close to as bad as this (having muscle really decreases the effect as well)

[Skittles]

45. I exercise regularly but find it's my stomach that's hardest to tone

I struggle with it
