But this body is mine... so I'm going to work with it and love it everyday... except for the really icky days... on those days, I just eat chocolate
yes❤️3 -
Didn’t mean to sound rude. I ask because I have a few chronic illnesses - auto immune diseases and they effect he way my body functions and there’s nothing I can do about it either.
Also - you have an incredible body!! 😍😍😍1 -
In a word... No.1

Oh no no.. I am grumpy and sore going through my third pregnancy. I was being a bit overdramatic. Sorry for what you are going through.

Oh I see! Lol. Well I am happy for you then- congratulations!! 0 -
One time i went 22 days without eating. On purpose. I was dumb and naive. Luckily my body didn’t kill me.
Twice i had babies. On purpose. My body literally grew humans. Granted it wasn’t just my body and my husband deserves an honorable mention in there somewhere but it still blows my mind when i think about it. And THEN when it was time to evict them, my body just knew what to do. My brain sure didn’t and was super not excited to be along for the ride, but we pushed out those pretty-sure-they-were-pineapples and my body just has these stretch marks on my hips and abdomen now. And gray streaks in my hair, let’s face it
Three times i have had surgery. I was sliced and diced and my body is totally fine now. Like it never happened. Those body parts disappeared and my body was just bye felicia and resumed business as normal. I have the tiniest scars but I’m otherwise good as new.
So yeah. My body is pretty gosh darn amazing, at least to me. Wicked smart too. Kinda wish it would clue me in a bit more but i feel like i can trust it to do its thing too.
I should probably start being nicer to it 🤔10 -
Negative and i probably never will be.0

Nope - not at the current moment, but I'm fixing it (or at least what I put into it). I think the loss of confidence from gaining weight is the most difficult part.1

Still not 100% happy with what I see in the mirror, but I am seeing changes that keep me going. Not as much of a paunch. Stairs are easier to traverse. Overall heart rate is lower. Pants are getting looser (and I have to cinch my belt tighter). I know it's not going to happen in one day, but the idea is to know that I'm making good decisions for my health because I want to show myself that I care, everything else is a bi-product of that.3

I love this.0 -
I’m happier with my body than I was 81 lbs ago, but it’s still a work in progress. I’m learning to make peace with it.1

I'm happy with my overall body shape, but not the individual details of it. I don't like my thighs or my butt or my boobs. And my abs are currently in hiding. I'm mostly frustrated because 2019 has been a year of limited workouts - I've been really sick twice, broke one ankle, sprained the other ankle, and broke a toe. Not all at the same time. So I'm really just trying to maintain and do modified lifting, but cardio is out until I'm fully healed.0
-
Mostly, yes, for the first time in a long time. I like that I'm stronger and that I have something resembling abs if you squint real hard. I run and lift weights and do yoga. I'm less likely to be radically over or undereating. I'm on the right mental health meds. I feel steady and that's really nice.3

No. After losing significant weight 7 years ago, keeping it off, and transforming my body, I have slipped back into poor eating habits the last year or so. I have also not trained in nearly 5 months due to a back injury. I have only gained about 15 lbs, but I do not feel or look the same. Starting this account today to get focused and back on track.
Having said all that, I am content and happy. I am not caught up in the fitness game and trying to get abs anymore. I do want to be healthy though and not forced to buy new clothes due to expanding waistline

I’m pain free and have good mobility. I aim to be healthier, but with all that it takes for the human body to function; I really am grateful.
Happiness regarding ones ever changing body can be temporary. I think it is better to be “awed” by your body and have the aim to keep it at its best functionality.2 -

As Someone with a history of eating disorders and body dysmorphia, I've never been happy with my body, even at my lowest or fittest weight, looking at certain parts of my body have either driven me to tears, or on the verge of a full blown panic attack. I've always wished i could be one of those people who are comfortable in their own skin. I've given it a solid effort many times. Maybe one of those times itll actually stick!2

I'm grateful everything works and although gravity has robbed me a little Im still happy.. of course I could improve with a load of hard work.. but I'm still ok with what I have naturally.3

The older I get the happier I am.4

Overall yes, but I think we all have our moments in which we feel insecure from time to time.0

I'm surprised the majority say they are. I've always hated mine, even when I was young and skinny (I was TOO thin then). I remember Cindy Crawford saying the body part she hated was her knuckles. Imagine being so beautiful that you only have to worry about your knuckles, or even being aware of them at all!4
