My biggest flaw I perceive on my body would be the stretch marks, and worst part is they're not even from having kids.
I've come to accept them as part of me and now I call them tiger stripes! They're a reminder of a place I didn't want to be and encouragement for an image I strive for.
What is your biggest body confidence issue and try to find a reason to accept and even love it. I'm sure the community can help out if you can't find a reason!

    Almost everyone has a few stretch marks, even people who have never been overweight. I had tons of stretch marks in my teens just from growing. I was not at all overweight. Many fabulously talented athletes have them. We just don’t see them much because it’s been decided in Western popular culture that they should be hidden. I love it when I see famous women showing theirs on the red carpet. People of all shapes, sizes, and colors have them. We’re all tigers!

    Not sure if biggest, but one I am happy to share, at least.

    Why is some of my hair turning white already? I am too young for that.

    Well, if I use hair colour to colour all my hair those white hairs are still lighter and create a pretty nice highlight effect. I like it.

    That's such a good idea! I'm so glad you like it, also a lot of younger people are digging the grey/white hair look anyways. I'm sure you look gorgeous with it

    Very well said! Yes my brother had them on his from a growth spurt also. Definitely would be nicer to see some less airbrushed cover photos to show off that au naturale.

    Well I meant more of a body confidence issue (as put in the first message) compared to something such as panic disorder. I'm sorry you struggle to deal with parking lots, I emphasise I really do.
