What are your biggest physical insecurities?
Replies

Hey guys, just thought it might feel nice to air our insecurities. Know that we're not alone, you know?
I'll go first. Mine are my arms and my thighs. I'm only 21 but since the age of about 15, I've had really huge bingo wings and my inner thighs hold a lot of fat. I don't really see a lot of women of my weight range with such big arms like me and it's always made me insecure.
What are some of yours? Hope you're all getting closer to your goals! x
Mine is my fat gut 🙄
Explains why I'm here 🤣1 -

I don't like to dwell on my insecurities as it has been a struggle for me to learn to love myself wholly and truly insecurities and all. That said, I would say the thing I struggle with the most these days is just the aging process in general. Physically and mentally... When you start to notice the aging process not only on the outside but the inside as well. When the things that used to be simple for you all of a sudden are a struggle, your knees hurt, your elbows hurt, your lower back hurts.... When you become older and find that you have to work that much harder to maintain the body that you want, but your body fights you that much more in the process. It. sucks.3

My height (do NOT ask!
).
My stomach. I cry EVERY TIME I look at it.
Hanging skin from weight loss. It's minor compared to other people, but it still makes me feel insecure.
Also I realized that even tho i'm a "normal sized person" now, I still feel like that insecure, plus sized girl that I used to be.1 -
A have a mole on my nose i would like removed. From being overweight even when I was very lean, i would get this little flap of skin when I bent over that i do not like.1

I have batwings so bad I could probably poop guano. Also I have sagging skin inside my legs and some residual stomach flab (significant) I realize as I lose, much of this will go away. I am working out and hoping to tone though.1

I have some scars on my body from a physical attack. Sometimes I think they are cool. Sometimes I hate them and try to hide them.4

I'm sorry
I have some of these too. It's always hard to explain to someone, as they are usually hidden. 2 -

Likewise. Maybe we have matching stab wounds?
Multiple on the abdomen and a defensive on the forearm?

I used to be MORTIFIED by my stretch marks, until I realized that most men don’t even notice them. Now it’s my flabby arms and double chin 🤦🏻♀️2

My eyes are buggy, I can relate! It took me years to love them things. Physical insecurity = short waisted but there ain't shiit I can do about that 'cept keep it trim. I also have scars.
I very much love your eyes.
@leut_underpants, that's kind. Now where were you 37 years ago when I was being bullied behind the bike sheds by a bunch of skinny eyes calling me Frog Eyes
Hugs and jelly skinny eyed *kittens*😠.....love that one though😂0 -
That I cannot wrap my penis around my waist twice and stick it in my ear. This has been a deeply crippling trauma that I have dealt with all my life.6

My body acne is my biggest insecurity that has bothered me for years. My lack of junk in the trunk makes me insecure as well and makes finding flattering jeans a pain in the butt. Pain in the small butt.3

I feel like I am pregnant with at least triplets in each arm 💁🏻2

I feel like having read through all of this, we're all so busy worrying about our own insecurities that honestly, no-one will even notice ours. You all seem like such radiant, warm, funny people. That's all that matters in the end, really x3

Wouldn’t mind being better than average.1
as I find you to be a very attractive person, super supportive, and pretty awesome
