This may be a strange answer but for me it’s my little loose skin pouch on my lower tummy. I’ve hated it and even considered surgery in the past. Now I look at it as representative of what my body is capable of. I have that pouch because I made a human! And after that I conquered weight loss and fitness despite thyroid disease and multiple injuries along the way. That skin was earned as a direct result of some of the things I’m most proud of my body for.
My arms! I still have fat arms and terrible bat-wings, but my arms are getting way stronger, and they DO look better. It's bothering me less and less when they aren't covered down to the elbow.
I once had someone compliment me on my nice legs, I do a lot of walking, later I found out he was missing a leg due to diabetes. Makes me seriously grateful for having two legs, bumps and all.
I'm starting to really appreciate my shoulders. The muscles now pop when I lift, and I relish in giving the metaphorical middle finger to all the men who make disparaging comments about women who have muscles.

This must be why I have almost no balance...I wear a 6.
Seriously, stop twinning me
This is MFP. You can blame any negative thing on some factor that's completely outside your control.
Oops, off topic.
And yet uncannily relevant...
I was secretly hoping you had shrunk (re:consistency thread) so we could be the same height too.

My thighs. Omg I have visible muscles now so I don't care one bit about cellulite anymore.
My triceps. Arms are still a bit fat, but muscles are cool!
My grey steak. Also cool and I don't really care if my grey shows my age.
Btw great post idea. Love it!
