    I hate the awkwardness of people not understanding sarcastic humor...that’s when I get the urge to just back away slowly

    My toes. Youth: ballet, futbol, sprinter = some really gnarly toes.

    I'm kinda insecure about my voice. It sounds so awkward and different when I hear it played back than what I hear in my head. There's also the fact that I love to sing, but I rarely sing in front of other people outside of the husband and the kid.

    I participated once in the voice thread here and not only did I get a "woo" which emphasizes that I was probably right to be insecure, but what I heard sounded... terrible. Just ick.

    I feel like strangers secretly criticize me when I'm in public. Like if they're standing behind me in a line, they see all my flaws.

    My eczema. It flares up so bad when I'm stressed. The amount of time I spend treating it and dealing with it is exhausting.

    My short, fat body.

    My huge asss.

    Large arms.

    Scarred up flabby stomach from a vertical cut c-section. Stretch marks for days!

    Thunder thighs.

    Not symmetrical facial features.

    Crazy hair.

    I don't like my voice

    I never feel good enough.

    I fear I will repel everyone because of my insecurities.

    I love everything about you!! Insecurities and all!

    My height. I'm 5'1. My nose. Everyone on my dad's side of the family has my nose. We call it an eagle beek. My boobs. I hate them. My laugh. I cackle when something is really funny.

    * The huge space between my brows. (It is wide like Jackie O). Fat accumulated there, so it's a constant watch spot for me.

    * On some days, my love for carbs.

    With how well you've been doing - your maintenance protocols - the proof is in the pudding. How you've properly managed your carbohydrates consumption has effectively made this cut-cycle, the best one yet. It's even made waves back in "the warp-warps." They're r-e-m-e-m-b-e-r-i-n-g ... And that they can't unsee, inasmuch as they wish they can.

    Alright, I’ll share. I have a line on my neck. I have always hated it.

    From having read a good majority of your initiated discussion topics and your posts throughout this Message Board and now after viewing your photos, I must say, that if I'd seen you in person, "that line" does not in anyway define nor does it override your unique beauty, which I liken to a pure Norwegian strain like look. I like your face.

    I wouldn’t trade my three sons for anything. But they left me with a few pregnancy souvenirs I could do without.

    The veins in my legs. Sure they might have been prevented...by wearing support hose...in Florida...in July.

    And then there’s the wrinkly stretched out skin on my belly. Serves me right for waiting until my mid-to-late 30s to have my babies. By then my skin was not quite so elastic. And the less fat I have on my stomach, the worse those wrinkles look.

    These might be the least flattering selfies I will ever post. But maybe sharing them...taking ownership of my flaws...will make me little less self-conscious.

    Totally. Much love and respect.

    I'm insecure about how my body looks. I have the habit of buying "daring" outfits and & NEVER wear them because I'm too self conscious. While losing weight, I did that alot. I'd buy something with the intention of wearing it when I slimmed down. By the time I got the courage to wear it, it was 3 sizes too small. :'(
    Hers a pic of an outfit that's been in my closet for over a year.

    I do relate@Cutemesoon, only that I'm never the one who chooses my daring outfits - my sister does lol. What I'd learnt over the years, since having to wear "out-of-the-box" ensembles, is to - step over the line. After the first 5 seconds - you'll realise that it's all in your head. Sidebar: You name the traditional or normative designer gowns styles, that aren't clubwear, those are my norms for dinner, an evening out ... For perspective.

    The risque pieces are liberating, once you're there and you realise, if you'd worn anything else you'd stick out for the wrong reasons or that - it's good to give your "naughty playful side" a home.

    I am a fully grey headed 50 year old already, I chose grow it out and be grey, but always thinking people might think I am older than I am or perhaps I should just put a couple of boxes of hair dye over it.

    I did have an old man, a complete stranger walk up to me in Walmart of all places and tell me that my hair doesn't fit the rest of me. I was kind of devastated for a little while, then I said eff him, I just hope I don't get old and feel inclined to be too blunt and hurt people's feelings when its none of my business.

    @RoxieDawn - I can only imagine how beautiful you clearly are - to have warranted that kind of a response from a random stranger.

    In the very late 90s - Manhattan, NY, close to the checkout counter, only not in line, stood an incredibly stunning lady, with her long silver mane to mid back, whose physicality and general aesthetics defied all her years. She was young of face and body, only a silver "vixen." ... In a city with Season-to-Season fresh supplies of incoming beauties, that lady much like you are doing now - was an inspiration.

    ^^^ A thousand times THIS. Very well said, and I can't help but agree.

    Ok here goes...but on this father’s day I am insecure about the influence I have had on my kids...they are my “ex” step-sons and I still think of them as my own. Last night we hung out for Father’s Day and it made me realize how much I missed them idiots...when their mom and I were married, I was gone a lot for deployments, and other job commitments. They are 15 and 17 now and great young men.
    All you dads AND moms of young kids, do not take your time with them for granted.

    Blended families can come with so many difficulties, but I have to tell you my “ex” stepdad and my mom divorced about 10 years ago and I actually think we’ve gotten closer. Now when I talk to him or see him it’s because I miss him not just because I’m going to see my mom. My ex step dad and step mom are my other parents and I don’t love them any less. I think it’s great you want to stay a part of their lives and I respect you so much for that ❤️

    Thanks for sharing, Jenna. At this point, I would have a hard time seeing my life without them as my number one.

    Opening myself up to people and getting hurt.

    Also... my boobs, I wish they were smaller so shirts would look better on me. :D

    I can completely relate to the boob complaint

    Have to start trying to lose weight again and I'm insecure about my commitment my discipline my ability to succeed I'm doing all the right things this week and have even done *three sessions of exercise* for the first time in about 2 years

    But there's always this shadow and some part of my mind that in a couple of weeks time if that this is all going to come to a grinding halt and I'll hit the doughnuts

    I wish I could look into the future and see myself slimmer this time next year I just want to know that I'm not wasting my own time

    I'm insecure around people that I find to be really intelligent. I start second guessing everything I say for fear that I'll come off sounding really stupid. Sometimes I think I mostly just BS my way through conversations.

    I'm also really insecure around groups of people and prefer talking to others one on one.

    That I won't be as important to her if he comes back.

    Yes you will. Squash those thoughts.
