When I was younger (and sometimes still) I would say things like "gosh I just HATE my legs, they're too big for my body, they're giggly, to stumpy...etc. Until one day my grandmother simply said.."well dear, why don't you just be thankful that you have them".

When you think of it like that, its hard to complain about anything on your body, arms, stomach, legs, bottom, because we're fortunate enough to have something to complain about, where as others may not be so lucky!

what are you thankful for on your body??

    I would have to say my boobs as well because they do make my stomach appear smaller, and also my calves because they are muscular.

    My lower legs are HOT! I love wearing capris and skirts to show them off. Would still like to lose some on the thighs, but the lower legs look great! Now that I run pretty regularily, I have some great muscle definition!

    On my body I'm thankful for...

    my eyes. When I was younger I had the nickname "bug" because my eyes are very large. But now I think they are not only beautiful but they let me see all of the beautiful work God has created.:smile:

    Inasfar as body parts go:

    I'm thankfully my lungs are so forgiving.
    We're moving past the asthma.
    We're keeping the smoking to a minimum.
    We're moving forward with stamina and endurance to run.
    I'm glad they aren't seizing up on me anymore.

    I am very thankful for my boobs as well (they seem to be shrinking though) I am also thankful for my lips they are one of the most beautiful things on my body and my eyes.

    Soup, I would have to say my spleen is kinda cute, I think:wink:

    not my spleen but my pancreas is hot :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
    but really what i'm thankful for is that my body hasn't shut down on me after the things i have put it through. i can't really think of a great feature so that'll be what i'm thankful for, a body that puts up with a lotta BS and still sticks with me lol

    wellll.....my spleen went byebye along with my uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, ovaries and gallbladder 25 years ago so can't be thankful for it anymore :wink: I'm thankful that my body has been forgiving of me and sticking with me all this time. For an short, fat old bird, I have long, strong, slender legs that I can count on to give me something to say "OK, so there IS something not totally gross about you" about during those periods of frustrated self-bashing.
