whisper -> Best/Worst Features (7/4/2008 12:59:23 AM)

I do love my body, most days.

In fact I think the only time I don't really like it is when it's time to go swimsuit shopping. I'm comfortable with the northern region of my body, but it's the part just south of my bum on my backside that I like the least. I'm fairly petite, but I have extra fat, some jiggle, and some pitting/creasing in that area. I find it funny that the "What swimsuit style suits your body?" articles usually have 100% bikini bottoms, and only vary in tops. That always confused me and saddened me.

I know we're all different, so I'm curious - where's your "problem" area? Have you accepted it? Are you trying to change it?

And while we're at it, what's your best feature? What do you love about you?

For a split second, I thought I was in singles, and I was like [sm=icon_smile_yikes.gif]. Then, I realized it was Women's Only..phew

Anyway, my worst area is my thighs, that is why I wear swimshorts with my suits. But even if I was really skinny, I would do the same for modesty's sake.



BlessedMamaofmany -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/4/2008 7:08:59 AM)

Best feature...my hair and eyes. I have blue eyes and I've always enjoyed them. My hair is rather nice. I try to take good care of it. I don't share it much though, because I cover my head. My man sure enjoys it though [:)]

Worst...uhhh everything else? [8D] Actually, I'd say my general weight. I'm overwieght (working on it though). I'm actually rather happy with myself, excepting my weight.



Consecrated2God -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/4/2008 8:33:31 AM)

Best feature--I have nice legs. :) I also like my hair, most days anyway.

Worst feature--my tummy. It's still wrinkly and stretched out from having big babies. I'm glad it's an area I can easily keep covered! I also don't like the circles under my eyes.



Consecrated2God -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/4/2008 8:37:49 AM)

My husband just read this and said he likes the circles under my eyes and that he's always thought they were cute. Well, I'm glad he likes them, anyway. [:)]



Georgia-Peach -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/4/2008 9:03:17 AM)

I love my lips/smile and my hands because the resemble my mom's hands and I love that! I have to say I am still liking the "girls" too, they look pretty close to pre-pregnancy.

The part I struggle with the most is my belly because it is a bit wrinkle and I have stretch marks. I wouldn't change it though because it reminds of the awesome blessing God gave me and how blessed I am to have been allowed to experience pregnancy.



fluffmonkey -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/4/2008 11:21:49 AM)

I love my eyes and ears

I am working on my belly and thighs OOh yeah and the giggleness on back of my arms ""(J-e-l-l-o) it's alive.""



Mrs.Wifey -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/4/2008 11:55:17 AM)

Really, I'm quite content with my body right now.

I would say my best features are my hair, eyes, and legs(even if my thighs are a wee bit jiggly.

I don't think I really have a worst feature, although my belly needs a little toning. Nothing my jeans don't hide though.



OneOfHisJewels -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/4/2008 12:28:34 PM)

I just realized I forgot to say best features..I've got nice eyes(bright blue, although I wish they were a little bigger) and hair, nice smile/teeth (never had braces or a cavity, and I've got straight teeth..I get compliments on them a lot), nice hands, and a nice bust.



artemis -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/4/2008 12:48:36 PM)

A month ago I would have said that my hair was my best feature, but then I cut it all off [:o] I guess my eyes are my best feature... they're light blue and change to green or grey, depending on what I'm wearing. I'm not a big fan of my midsection. I carry all my extra weight around my hips and thighs and have a really hard time finding jeans/pants that fit and are flattering.



thedivabrat -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/4/2008 1:47:49 PM)

I like my face--I was considered beautiful when young now I am told I am a cute older lady. I am not happy with my pot belly but I absolutely abhor my flappy upper arms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



flowerz -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/5/2008 1:05:42 PM)

Best: Eyes, hair, lips, teeth

Worst: My stomach, under eye circles, bit of cellulite

Whisper, I bought a two piece swimsuit last year with a skirted bottom, and I love it and feel sooo much more comfortable when I go swimming.

I don't think I've accepted my problem area and at times I exercise to change it, not very sucessfully though. [:D]



PrincessDonna -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/5/2008 1:45:29 PM)

Best...eyes and right now, tummy. About the time the tummy turns back to non-pregnant state, the "girls" will make my "best" list. LOL It's all a trade-off.[8D]

Worst...my fang teeth. I have a small mouth and not enough room for my teeth. Hate the teeth.[:@] And my weight, but I intend to do something about that post baby and hysterectomy.



rae_of_light -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/5/2008 2:45:27 PM)

Best feature? I ummmm.... like my eyelashes? They're long and pretty dark so I never have to wear mascara, which I hate because my eyes are sensitive to light, so they water and make mascara run! I'd also like my teeth, if they were a little more white. They are naturally straight, and they have good shape.

Worst features would be probably 'most everything else. But most of all, I hate my chest. I am bigger than most people, including my mum and both my older sisters, and I hate hate HATE it! I get icky comments, and because I have a small-ish waist, all my shirts look huge and frumpy on me. [&o]



betterisoneday -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/5/2008 9:29:16 PM)

Hmmm, best features would be hair,even though it's straight; legs and eyes, dark brown.
Worst would be teeth are crowded so it makes my smile look funny (isn't that what smiling is about??), stretch marks from being pregnant and I'm so skinny my bones stick out (they can't find a medical reason but I have never been able to gain weight).
But I've finally gotten to the point where it doesn't bother me when people say my looks are somehow wrong. [:D]



eaglelady11 -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/5/2008 9:37:20 PM)

this is a good question.

as far as physically, I have a pretty face and a good body, except my stomach is a little rounder than I would like it be be. I am about 15 pounds overweight, but I don't care. I'm healthy, my mother seems to have a problem with it, but I'm fine with it. oh and i am not that busty compared to other women. some women are nicely endowed, I am not. I'm not going for a supermodel award. oh and I have good teeth.

uhm, I color my hair brown and right now, I kind of like the style. and I have pretty hands and short nails.

personality wise, i am friendly and encouraging and intelligent. but when I get frustrated, I get nasty and passive-aggressive. and I gossip and I've got to stop that!



Auben -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/5/2008 10:39:51 PM)

Best features~legs, hips, feet, skin, ears, height

Less than best features~waist (thick waisted even at my thinest), eyelashes (look terrible with mascara), undereye area (dark circles), upper arms

I'm pretty content with what I have. Sometimes I wish I could appropriate some of my belly and redistribute it to my hips or butt, but I like me.

Gah! I absolutely hate that about myself too. But it's a genetic thing for me, and not much I can do about it.

Best... umm... my boyfriend would probably say my lips. haha! But I really like my eyes.



sunshine4God -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/6/2008 1:23:39 AM)

Best features-eyes and dimples

me either,no matter how much I brush them they arent white.



HisCovenant -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/7/2008 3:44:59 PM)

Worst: hereditary dark circles, thighs, stomach, and back of arms. Aside from the dark cirlces, the rest is a weight problem, which I am trying to work on without much success. Those areas can also be improved with the right clothing, so it's not as bad as it could be.

Best: healthy hair, great skin, symmetric facial features, strong nails, soft feet, just right sized bust, straight teeth, feminine hands... pretty much anything that doesn't make the worst list goes on the best list.

I'm pretty content with myself and the things I'm not content about I am trying to change (weight loss) or can work with using the right clothing (structured designs that flatter) or make-up (concealor.) I have a routine to keep my best features from making the worst list and to keep my worst features from dragging all of me down- because I can be slumpy if I let myself. That routine includes, exercise, healthy eating habits, careful selection of clothing, lotion on the feet & hands at night, filing my nails weekly, and make-up sparingly placed where it can enhance without being a mask.



whisper -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/8/2008 1:27:02 AM)

You know, I didn't know whether or not I should post this question, because I don't like the idea of women concentrating on their worst features. Still not sure on that one, but it's been asked and it can't be un-asked! Maybe I wanted to know that other people have not-so-best features, too, and that we're all beautiful in spite of it.

I also realized I forgot to mention my best features. I think it's that I have a kind face. I also really like my collar bones/shoulders. I know that might sound really strange!



Mrs.X -> RE: Best/Worst Features (7/8/2008 1:52:54 AM)

My best feature is my face, everything on there is pretty cute, and I take pretty good care of my skin, etc.

My worst feature is my cellulite (which doesn't go away with weight loss and exercise) in my thighs and butt. It's hard to come to terms with because I know I will never be comfortable in a swim suit no matter how much weight I lose. And, my other worst feature is my unproportionately large upper arms that can almost smack me in the face when I wave. LOL! That's inherited too. I have stretchmarks on my belly, but no one ever sees that except my hubby, and he doesn't mind them. Hehe, he got some too when I was pregnant.

But, I think I look pretty cute with pants or long skirts and 3/4 sleeves.

But, what's up with those little red dots on my legs that I have had ever since I started shaving them? I tried using conditioner instead of shaving cream, shaving dry, rubbing ice on them after shaving, pore closing lotion. I dunno what causes them or how to make them go away.

But we're also concentrating on our best features, which is a good thing.

I actually don't have any cellulite. I don't know how I escaped it, but somehow I did. I never got any varicose veins when I was pregnant, either, so I still like my legs a lot. [:)]
