I'll start.


>what about you have you learned to accept?
the body hair on my torso, my nose, my vaguely sunken in eyes

>what parts of you do you are trying to love?
the body hair on my face and limbs, my thin hips and fat-looking thighs (even though when I look in the mirror, they don't look fat, when I look down at my body, they look pretty fat)

This is a very nice thread
> what about you have you learned to accept?
All of my facial features honestly. But I was more insecure about my small lips and big cheeks. And body wise, my boobs and height
> what parts of you are you trying to love?
My fivehead, really struggling with this one

>what about you have you learned to accept?
My height, my round face, my linebacker shoulders, my oily skin, my big boobs
>what parts of you do you are trying to love?
My apple shape, my fine hair texture, my acne scars, my shit profile

>>173099
>what have you learned to accept?
My average height, freckles, moles and inability to ever tan. My fine hair.

> what are you trying to love/accept?
the inevitability of aging, losing baby fat, looking more mature as I approach my late 20s

>>173099
>what about you have you learned to accept?
my hairy ass back and tummy (im literally a gorilla but that's ok). the calluses and scars on my hands and face.
>what parts of you do you are trying to love?
the cellulite on my butt, my fat thighs, my weirdly textured hair

nice thread anon!


>what about you have you learned to accept?
my hairy arms and small boobs (learned to love my small boobs, not just accept, which is great) also my big thighs, no longer gaf about a thigh gap
>what parts of you do you are trying to love?
my skin in general. I wish it were clear and umblemished but instead I have lots of freckles, moles and I can see veins on my legs. wish it were less translucent looking. I wish I could learn to accept my big nose

>>173123
how did you learn to accept your freckles/moles, they've been my biggest hang up since puberty. I feel like I'm hyperaware of them. it seems like such a trivial thing but I can't get over it, it feels like

I'm entirely okay with my face with all its imperfections, it's my body that I dislike (hate is a strong word). It's hourglass and even when I was at my thinnest, the shape is still there. I would love to look androgynous but that style is unfortunately not for me. I can't wear the clothes I wish I could because it wouldn't suit me.

>what about you have you learned to accept?
The fact I'll never look small/cute due to my height & hourglass shape, also androgynous styles don't suit me

>what parts of you do you are trying to love?
My slightly saggy / asymmetrical tits, my weight in general (BDD)

>what about you have you learned to accept?
- acne. my sensitive skin and cover up do not mix. i've tried so many things since i was in middle school and it usually only works for a month or two then my body is like "nope!!" i only get a little peeved when i have the occasional breakout and when strangers trying to get under my skin by pointing out the hyperpigmentation mistaking it as acne. i love my face, as a whole. i find my features to pop out the most without makeup and minimal hair plucking. i once got my eyebrows done and i looked extremely weird, like a drag queen, probably from the fact my eyebrows are so thick the skin underneath doesn't tan as much.
- body. having body dysmorphia sucks, but i've been comfortable being near 210lbs and 140lbs. the biggest issues i have is eating healthier, but it doesn't reflect how my body looks. i also developed a thinking pattern "if these random people at the grocery store can walk around with the rolls and thin shirts and act like nothing bothers them, i can too." and thinking that helped me out a lot, i strive to just be comfortable. also, i have small boobs so that helps some lmao.
- feet. i have psoriasis, my skin gets itchy and patchy and falls off once every 3 or 4 months, but i am used to it.

>what parts of you do you are trying to love?
- thinning hair. getting there… i noticed i was getting bald at 18.
- teeth. since i developed ptsd i started becoming neglectful to my teeth and after 6ish years of constant neglect, there's permanent light brown spots on the surface. brushing only does so much, one upside is i have never had a cavity (knocks on wood) and my wisdom teeth have grown in without pain.
- my voice. i have some trauma related to my narcissistic mother and sometimes i can hear her voice when i talk.

Anon with thin-ass hair and acne here, you could try looking into spironolactone. That helped me.

>>173099
>what about you have you learned to accept?
My skin color. Kind of blows me away that I ever wanted to be white when I was a kid. The only time I think about my skin color is when I'm trying to decide what color to buy a top in. Same with my hair – I used to think I wanted light-colored hair but after finally bleaching and dying it a bunch last year I was so happy to dye it back to a natural dark brown.

>what parts of you do you are trying to love?
My broad shoulders, wide waist + narrow hips, and prominent nose – very easy to feel unfeminine, especially on low-maintenance days when I wear baggy clothes and no makeup. Also trying to cope with just being skinny in general – after losing twenty pounds I finally have a thigh gap, but I just find myself hating it and missing my chubby thighs and bigger breasts. Should've known losing weight wouldn't magically fix my body image issues lol.

>what have you learned to accept?
almost everything, which is ofc easy to say as someone who has no deformities/disabilities/diseases. I realized it was foolish to be insecure when my body is working hard every day to keep me alive amd functional.
>what are parts you are trying to love?
I have a bit of chub on my lower belly, though I think that's normal for an adult female at a healthy weight.
trying to love the fact that I am basically just an average person, 5'4", 112 lbs, 32B breasts, normal foot arches, no cankles, normal length torso, normal length limbs, average face, normal everything. basically almost all my body parts look like what someone would find in an anatomy textbook under "normal". I think we live in a society that pressures women to aim for being exceptional/extreme but I want to be content with my body and cultivate my character and skills instead.

does anyone else relate to just hating HAVING A BODY? I don't care what mine looks like. I just hate having a corporeal form. I want to be a cloud with consciousness.

>>175676
Kinda same. Alternatively I would like to be a cyborg.

Being 60 lbs overweight

>what parts of you do you are trying to love?
my boobs. they're only b cup but i don't want them. i get jealous as fuck when people get top surgery.

>what about you have you learned to accept?
Most of my face. I'm not conventionally attractive, but I do find myself cute. Drawing and following women with atypical but cute faces has helped me so much. Also women of my ethnicity.
>what parts of you do you are trying to love?
My frame. I'm not overweight and am technically pear-shaped, but I'm just…broad. A strapping young woman. I think the disconnect is that I find short women super attractive (regardless of weight) and so project that onto myself. Plus I'm an ex-fatty so have some leftover BDD from that fiasco (fun!). I also am haunted by men's standards, ever-looming despite their irrelevance to my life.
I've tried to embrace it by building muscle and living the beefcake fantasy, but other days I do feel down.
Also my mild acne which scars like hell on my skin. But acne hurts and sucks so I can't imagine ever loving it.

>what about you have you learned to accept?
My weight. I don't think I'll ever be lower than 140. I'm pretty sure it's just my bodies set weight. Thankfully I've never been called fat at this weight and I've gotten compliments on it so that probably has helped me to feel comfortable with it. Also love my vagina. Had an ex make me feel icky about it because it didn't look like a porn one but like my inner labias barely hang out that much and they're entertaining to tug on when I'm bored lol.
>what parts of you do you are trying to love?
My nose, it's big and bulbous. It's hard to like it especially knowing that my face would look so much better if it was tinier. I've even been told my nose looks off compared to the rest of my face.

I have basically no waist. Pic related is sort of my shape, with maybe slightly broader shoulders. I also have scoliosis so my hips are uneven.

Was an anachan and still had no waist but at least I had a thigh gap until I managed to get back to a healthy weight.

Learning about anatomy and fitness has helped me a ton to accept my body was it is.

The only thing I really really really wish I could change are my tiny beady eyes.

>what have you learned to accept
my love handles, chubby thighs, my scars and my face
>what parts are you trying to love
bulimia teeth, thinning hair, hip dips and cellulite and my weird frame

after wanting to get a boob job for years, i'm now generally ok with my small boobs. they are at least a round shape and perky, and i'm trying to see them as cute and youthful rather than inadequate and unfeminine. i also realized it's not the most important thing and even if i had surgery there would be too many constant worries afterwards. back when i was really set on the surgery i expected it to solve all of my issues with myself, but now that feels dumb and i was really relieved when i cancelled my surgery.

>what about you have you learned to accept?
Natural physique is really muscular, I have a shit-tonne of muscle mass, being 70kg at only 160cm tall. I've accepted I'll always me a size medium-large and can't wear some of the cool clothes I want to due to how strange they look on me. I have muscular arms that I've worked out to get and when I'm not flexing they look like lunch lady arms, but when I do flex they're rock solid all over and I'm really proud of that. I also have chub on my belly that has never budged and muscular legs that are chubby towards my upper thighs. I am learning to love being more masculine-presenting as well with some outfits to really embrace and showcase my physique in ways that boost my confidence.

>what parts of you do you are trying to love?
My nose is extremely prominent from my greek side of the family and I have a very long pointed chin, I look like a witch. I also have one of those double chins that never goes away, at 52kg it was still there. Whilst I've considered surgery for my face ultimately I know it is better to try to love your natural self before spending the money. My partner loves my face and always says its beautiful but sometimes all I can see is swamp witch with jawline acne and a double chin lol. I hate it but I'm still young and insecure so hoping with age I grow to accept it more.
