That one body thing that really irks you...

Charbella87

For people who are losing weight or who have lost the weight: What is that one thing about your body that just grosses you out or you can't stand that you can't wait to see disappear? Or something you can't do because of the weight?

Mine:
-Back fat rolls (every freakin' shirt just loves to hug that area!)
-My thighs touching. I haven't worn a skirt or dress in a long time because I get so chaffed. And because my thighs are big, in every picture my feet are permanently shoulder width apart to make room for my thighs.
-I hate how the bigger I've gotten, more weight has collected on the front of my hip bone and it just hangs a little bit.
-Stretch marks!
-I hate when I reach to shave certain areas, I get out of breath from the compression on my torso/lungs.

These things will disappear! I'm going to make it happen!

It bugs me that one eye is slightly higher in my face than the other. Its not so obvious that other people notice, but it bugs me just the same. no exercise will fix it.:huh:

My thighs! I can't wait to get rid of the chub rub! I am determined to be able to buy a cute dress and wear it on my birthday this summer!

I hate that with weight loss comes boob loss! I was small to begin with & now I'm even smaller :sad:

Although I could rattle off a list, I think we should avoid the self-loathing in which our society encourages us to indulge. What about indulging in pride and self-respect while we are getting healthy?

ilovemyhorse

Back fat rolls for sure!
I honestly don't mind my legs.
I'd like smaller calves so my cowgirl boots fit better.
Flabbish arms!

babylemonade

my stomach...ughh it's smaller but more hangy..the same goes for my upper arms.

My roll of fat that looks like i have a second set of boobs. That roll of fat annoys me more than anything else in the world!

rebeccap13

Legs and upper arms... but I've noticed progress so I just have to keep busting my butt and eating well!

As far as things I like, my butt, I've learned to accept that after 8 years of volleyball it's not going away and I actually like it. And I like my smile. : )

I'm a firm believer in for every negative thing you have to say, try to counter it with something positive. Like someone said, why spend time with self loathing? It can be productive to not get content and want to strive for a better, healthier life, but more times than not self-hate only builds more self-hate. Get your head right and the rest will follow. : )

My saddle bags. Even after 50 lbs gone and weighing 139, they are still there! Gah : / Can't wait for them to be gone!

I can't believe no one has said their other chin. Bleh

This, I have really heavy eyelids & a genetic double chin. Legit, everyone in my family has it, even the superunderweight one.

This too.

ProudMomoftwo

Bat fat
Double chin
Upper arm swinging fat
Inner tube of fat that extends belly button level all the way around the back...ugh!

Granted...they are all smaller than when I started and will continue to get smaller if I keep showing up and keep doing the work.

I raise my water bottle to all of us working hard to improve ourselves. Here is to a NEW YEAR!!!
2012 is bright and shiny with possibilities!!

Keep pushing forward.

I know this sounds weird, but I want smaller boobs! also, I have had two c-sections, so I have this pouch of fat that over hangs my scar, it coould go away too, and take the thigh rub with it! But I too will get there, it will take a lot of work and will power, and all the support my good friends here can lend me! If you need a friend, let me know!

maryjay51

my abdominal area and neck.. i remember when i didnt have a neck so it concerns me if it looks like i may be losing my neck again.. the abdominal area has always been my downfall. however my trainer has been really great in helping me attack that problem

I've lost a good deal of weight so far and I still have a few traces of stubborn fat in my belly and chest. Still working to make myself more lean.

Stretch marks. :-(

I have them on my calves, hips, thighs and the back of my arms. What makes me hate them even more is the fact that I developed all of them when I was 13 years old. I grew almost a foot in about a year's time, and my skin just couldn't keep up.

I can see being more accepting of stretch marks from having a baby or because of weight gain, but I never even made it past puberty without having stretch marks. I've never liked the way my body looks in a swimsuit - even at my fittest and most athletic.

I remember the first stretch marks that showed up were on my hips. I had no idea what they were, so I went down to my dad's study and sneaked his Physician's Desk Reference back to my room. I started perusing it for a possible diagnosis. After much research, I settled on a rare burrowing parasitic worm. I was so horrified, I ran to my mom in tears and showed her my 'burrowing worm marks'. She laughed at me and explained what they were. I felt relief, but at 13 I didn't really care about how my body looked. As soon as I got to high school and started noticing boys and caring what I looked like, my stretch marks were the bane of my existence. I was so ashamed of them... still am!

I'm with the thigh people here. I haven't worn just a skirt/dress since I was in elementary school. I finally found that bicycle shorts are the perfect solution to thigh rub, but I'd rather be able to do without them!!

CaptainGordo

A cow lick that no stylist can quite cut right.

Kenzietea2

my arms, I hate them more than any other body part.

Legs that chafe too easily.

squishycow7

TracyO2012

I hate my stomach, I have muffin top from hell. All other things are annoying, but that I truly hate.

Scott613

The fact that when you lose weight it makes your member look bigger. It's big enough I don't need it to look any bigger GAWD:ohwell:

Sugar_Apple

Belly stretch marks...but they arent going anywhere weight loss or not

taso42

I'm short and balding and no amount of exercise that I do is going to help. :laugh:

Di3012

I hate cellulite and muffin tops. They make me wanna headbutt the wall.

Elizabeth_C34

I hate my inner thighs. They rub together and it feels disgusting.

MariaAlbinaxoxo

I hate that my thighs are much bigger than below my knees. Not in proportion at all.

Agreed. I expected that at least someone would respond the way that you did. But I didn't mean it in a self-loathing way. I'm a firm believer in having a sense of humor about lifes' problems. I frequently poke fun at myself because...well...it's just funny. I am very aware of my weight, and while I desperately want to lose it, I have accepted what I have become. I find it comforting that I am not the only one that can't stand my back fat and stretch marks. Just reaffirms that I'm not alone. And as I said earlier, cheers to saying good bye to all of those things. I'm very excited to see what the future holds.
