I borrowed this idea from a thread in another forum. I thought it'd be nice to bring over to our area. We all get so caught up in our weight loss ventures, that we can forget to celebrate the things that we absolutely love about ourselves. Hopefully, you'll join in...
I love my face. My eyebrows, eyes, high cheekbones, nose, chin, especially my smile. I was blessed with straight, white teeth. I love my curves. I'm very much an hourglass (even at my size). I've always loved my overall shape. I love my long legs. I have strong (yet feminine) legs that go on for days. I love my breasts. Just being honest. I love my hair. I also really like my feet (they're a little long, but delicate and narrow).
Sexiest part: I love my eyelashes -- I don't even wear mascara and I constantly get stopped by other women who want to know what "brand" of mascara I've got on. Sorry girls, I'm born with it (it's not Maybellene! lol).
Biggest part: Even though it's part of my weight being so high, I love the fact that I'm more muscular than most women. I've always had more muscles than the average girl and it has been great for me because I've always been active in sports and continue to be so (though not as much as I'd like).
Funniest part-- I love my feet. It's so funny that I love them cuz I wear a size 11-12 shoe and they are huge compared to my friends. But I just love'em -- nobody can wear my shoes (so they don't want to borrow them) and they're kinda long and a little slender (probably the only part of my body that way, lol).
Coolest part -- I have seven funky birthmarks on my left leg, starting on my knee and going down to mid-shin. The coolest one circles around my inner knee and looks like a horse (no kidding!). It's no wonder seven is one of my lucky numbers!
I love that I got my father's skin and teeth. I have been stopped on the street and asked what I use on my skin. And my teeth are straight and narrow, without the need for braces (my sister HATES me for this). I love my breasts (and so does my dh) I love my little lips, my cute nose, and most of all I love my tulip tattoo on my right big toe!
Thank goodness... First I thought no one bothered with my little thread... Then I thought, even worse, no one has any good things to say about themselves . Glad to see that isn't true!
I like my:
--hair (rich auburn, natural curls, sometimes has a mind of its own)
--shape (I have a defined natural waist with a larger bustline, very curvy and soft)
--eyes (very green, especially with my auburn hair)
--hands (soft, with polished acrylic nails)
--teeth (all straight, no braces, although I could use some Crest Whitening Strips!)
I love that my body, after all I've put it through, will swim, will run, will lift weights, that it still does what I ask it to do - most of the time.
I love my calves, after a long time they have a nice shape, and I get comments when I wear skirts, nice ones that is. My legs were a.w.f.u.l. when I started this journey.
I love my shoulders and arms, they attract the most compliments. And my back.
Hmmmm........
I love my eyes....big and brown I also have been told by many people that they are envious of my skin tone....I have kind of olive undertones..the girls at work always tell me I have such a nice complexion Also...thanks to many of you here for repsonding to the progress pic I posted a couple month ago: I love my high cheek bones Thanks you guys for making me feel good about that.
hugs,
Olivia
I love my smile. I can give someone a big grin or a sympathetic little smile based on what they need at that moment, whether they are in the throes of labor or life and I can bring joy or humor to the situation.
I also love that I am healthy. All of my body parts work quite well, and all I need is the will to push myself to do and achieve new things...running, kickboxing, elliptical. I can change my body. I can improve my health. What a gift it is that our bodies are not static, but that they change and heal and adapt.
I love my eyes.. people compliment them all the time.. I believe they're one of my best physical features.
I love my fingers.. I don't know why exactly but I think they're sexy
I love love love my calves! They've always been a bit muscular and I love them even more since I've been working out, the muscle that becomes more defined when you flex it is hot
But most of all I love everything about me right now
I was standing in the thrift store today, trying on clothes. I'm top-heavy, so I typically wear baggier clothing on top, or grab bigger sizes to accomodate. I finally reached for some clothing in smaller sizes, stuff that didn't drape from the breast down. And I realized that I have a well-defined upper body. My breasts are large, but they make my waist look tiny. And now that the rumply bumps between my breasts and waist are going away, I'm starting to look rather shapely. I just have to get used to the idea of wearing clothing that's a little slinkier, not just a large hide-all-of-me tent.
Aside from that, I have pretty hair. I smile involuntarily and frequently. I have decent skin, and nice eyes. I'm regularly told that I have a very expressive face. I also have great black eyelashes and eyebrows.
I'm strong and healthy, hardly ever get sick.
