What are you self-conscious about?

My "package" showing all the time, everywhere I go. I'm thinking about reduction surgery.0

I have a similar voice. It always reminds me that I'm never good enough. I am working hard, daily, to change my thoughts and look forward with hope that I can change. Good luck with yours. You are beautiful!0

Nothing especially. Other people are not nearly as obsessed with our appearance as we think they are, so why should we be? I work out to please myself and I dress how I like and really don't give a darn about what anybody else thinks. Because confidence is sexy!
I agree with this 100%.
Confidence is sexy. But it does take more than confidence to compete for a partner.0 -
Stomach and chest I have alright face, legs, arms, back, and given my broad shoulders it's hard to tell I'm fat or just big if I'm wearing clothes. Take that off and poof, FAT.0

My skinny ankles I hate them...I wish they were fatter...I am serious by the way! ))
trade you!0 -
My double-chin and chubby cheeks. I am the type that when I gain any weight, the first place it shows is my face and I really look like a completely different person. People that I haven't seen in a few years don't even recognize me most of the time. It is embarrassing!0

Umm, my rather large bum (that's the way it seems to me). I've done glute exercises and I run/jog alot, but that seems only to increase the size of my posterior *sigh* I guess beggars can't be choosers.0

arms and legs. Especially now that I've lost this much weight. Bat wings and bat 'knees'
Looking forward to reaching goal so I can take care of those.0 -
My thunder thighs >_<0

My belly, for sure. I used to hate my nose, but then I learnt to love it. One day I will love my belly! I just don't like my little pouch from having a baby 10 months ago.0

Seriously....having Cankles is no fun....that grass is definitely not greener.....0 -
Just arms for me. The rest of my body is what it is, but I find my arms disgusting. I never ever ever wear short sleeves/sleeveless shirts in public (and I usually don't around the house, either). I'll probably end up getting a brachioplasty done once I meet my goals and tone a bit if they don't shrink down enough, and they probably won't since all of the ladies on my dad's side have fat arms too.0

Not fitting in booths in restaurants, or the constant worry I am going to break a chair I sit in like in Shallow Hal. It's never happened but every time I sit down I am convinced that THIS time will be the time. >.<0 -

Agreed. 100%0 -
From my knees to my neck- self concious. My psyche needs work too I guess. I'm really hard on myself and haven't learned that guilt should not be associated with weight loss or food in general.0

*kitten* and stomach0

Everything.0
-
Thighs and lower belly0
-
Love handles. I have slim hips but MASSIVE love handles/saddle bags and it just gives me the most weird shape. Finding jeans to fit is a nightmare0

Reading some of these posts at first made me start listing inside my head all the things I didn't like about myself and then by the end it had already hit me. Some of you want plastic surgery! When I was around twenty years old (almost eight years ago) I was dead set on plastic surgery. For my face, my body, and my breasts, and I actually had a breast reduction done which I now regret. I won't ever choose plastic surgery again because it altered my body in a way that wasn't intended for me. I can change myself naturally by working out and eating right, I didn't have to get liposuction and damage my body, I could change my body myself in a natural way but there are some exceptions things that had to be done like braces. But really, truly I have learned that I am beautiful. Just. The. Way. I. Am. I don't need to looked like those stupid photoshop models and celebrities. I like my features! I may not like the weight but I can change that and I am! Very determined. My 30 day login is coming up!
You know what, lately I've been giving myself a lot of good pep talk and I like that a lot! But I'll tell you what I'm self-conscious about. I have a very, very rare disorder called Pachyonychia Congenita (PC) with a little over a thousand registered patients in the WORLD. There are eight people in my state here in the USA that have it, and five of them are daughters and grandson to my dad including me and him. But even rarer is a mutation that we have related to PC called Steatocystoma Multiplex, or SM, and I have a fairly difficult case of that. Basically, the PC part of me makes the soles of my feet blister very quickly, and my nails are thickened. The SM side is what makes me self-conscious though. I get cysts and boils on my skin, usually in places that are clothed, but can show up anywhere really. Everything my dermatologist has tried doesn't work.
But my father and I have found an organization called PC Project at www.pachyonychia.org. We have been working with them and they have made great advances with the cause both medically and in support and community of those affected. My family and I along with some friends held a car wash here in my city and we received many generous donations towards our cause!
Please please please go to the website and read about this very rare disorder! If you have it in your heart and wallet, please donate anything you can! I don't want my children to have to deal with self-consciousness in the worst way. I want them to be able to run and hike and live without physical limitations! Thank you for reading this!0
