What parts of your body make you insecure, or how did you overcome insecurities!

For me it is the back of my knees, and the inner side next to both knee :)

Give tips for anyone you might be able to help :)

    For the back of your knees, you need to find exercises to work your hamstrings. For the inner side, your quads or adductors & abductors (those inner thigh machines that look like stirrups?).

    My least favorite right now is my jiggly arms. I've been working them hard but it's been hard for me to lose fat so I've been trying to eat really clean and am trying to get more cardio in.

    Isn't it interesting what we find offensive on our own bodies? I hate my feet, my knees (someone told me they looked like potatoes once!) and my inner thighs! I obviously can't change my feet or the shape of my knees...and with the amount of yoga I do, this is the best my thighs will ever look, so I guess I have to learn to love myself as is :heart: Easier said than done!! Oh, and what bothers me on my own body never bothers me on someone elses!!

    For most of my life it was my bum. Even in high school (I now have 2 grown daughters) when I was only 115 lbs I thought my bum was fat. I still do most of the time, but I don't worry about it since I met my husband 6 years ago because he's always telling me it's my best feature. Who knew all I had to do was marry Sir Mixalot to learn to love my bum :laugh:

    Has to be my arms and my thighs. I plan on having liposuction and reconstruction surgery to make me feel better about it.

    Ha...I have small eyes too. They are almond shaped, so I like that, and they are a blueish/green, which I also like...just wish they were bigger and wider set...I'm 42, so I've learned to deal with it too LOL

    My lower tummy and my upper inner thighs. My tummy I hide well enough that it doesn't bother me unless I'm standing naked in bright light but my thighs were great until yo-yo diets ruined the elasticity in my skin! Boo... now there's not much I can do except work out and save money. Oh and never wear a bathing suit!

    Same! But it has gotten so much better, to where I actually don't mind how they look anymore.

    My thighs and arms! Even when i was young and thin, my arms always felt HUGE to me. Now...well, things are bigger so you can imagine. And my thighs with the chub-rub drive me crazy. I get the bunching pants/shorts that rub between the thighs and make a "look at me" bunch! I hate that. But, I too, am working on it! Slow and steady.
