Have you any hangups about your body?

I wish my pecker was smaller

Had severe acne on my chest. Went on roaccuatane for a year. Acnes gone, but the scarring was pretty bad. Waiting for laser treatment to remove the scars.

Fnck you acne

Bit of a weird one. I'm fairly broad shouldered but also thin. Basically, if I done some exercises and tried to gain more muscle mass I'd be onto a winner.

I've tried the pushups etc. but lose faith after a week or two. Someday I'll get some weights.

Other than that not much. My skin can flare up every now and then and I can never seem to get a nice haircut

Jaysus, its like I wrote this one for myself!
I train away for sport and eat a load, even started piling on the protein with chicken and eggs etc and hit the gym before work took over. Still no change though. I just burn body fat really quickly, crazy fool metabolism.

When college starts up again I might finally buy some mass builder and hit the gym properly...Or else I'll just drink and be lazy like always

Oh and I've psoriasis...Fecking psoriasis... Its not that bad or noticable so I can't complain about it too much!

G.K.

Sometimes my body is utterly repulsive to me, other times it isn't. I'm trans btw, which probably explains it.

I absolutely hate my tummy. I hold all my weight around my middle. The rest of my body is in proportion and I'd be quite slim only for my belly. Doing something to shift it now though. Hopefully I'll see some results soon!

Similarly, I said (as a bloke) that I've got bits of my body that I don't like showing off. I don't (or didn't) like my wrists. They are very slim. But I have found out to my delight, that slim wrists make your upper arms look bigger when you start working out. But I'd still like to have bigger, thicker wrists.

Thats not the truth actually, its only said to make you feel not so bad about your girlie wrists - bigger arms make your arms look bigger.

Only thing I'm not really mad about is a little wort on the palm side of one of my fingers, otherwise I'm pretty happy with things.. Oh, I've a bit of a black eye atm but that will go.

Don't like my hair, would rather it was thicker/straighter.

It is true. Larger forearm attached to smaller wrist gives the illusion that your arm is in fact bigger than it is. The same way a narrow waist will make your shoulders/back look broader than they actually are.

Thing is though as you build up your arms your wrists will also build up (although if they are narrow they will never be big, certainly do get thicker though)

I have big arms, I know what makes arms look bigger - and its bigger arms, not smaller wrists. I have thick wrists too.

Oh, I hate that my once beautiful mane of red hair is rapidly turning grey, so I shave it bald now.. I loved my red hair :mad:

I don't like my nose, don't like my chin either other than that I wish I were taller and slightly bigger feet as mine are so small its very hard to find shoes to fit my feet! Have a bit of acne now and again but at least it's not as bad as it used to be so happy enough with my skin overall and tends to be clear most of the time. That's good news for me as I have had acne since I was very young. Would like bigger bewbs but happy enough with them! Longer legs might be a bonus too! Overall I am happy enough with my body just a few things I'm not at all happy about. Need to keep an eye on the belly though since I'm not much of an exercise freak but eat fairly healthy though. Slim and petite just need to watch my weight a bit.

I guess it would have to be my teeth. My teeth are fine, I don't have any fillings, floss every day, all that good stuff, but two of the incisors on my lower jaw are slightly turned due to slight overcrowding when I was a kid. I also have very sharp incisors (as in I once drew blood when playing around with a girlfriend).

My teeth are not nasty or anything, I mean they look average, but they're not exactly the pristinely laid out geometrically correct teeth I always craved. Here see what you guys think

Yeah well bigger arms obviously makes your arms look bigger because... well they're bigger :P If you had smaller wrists it'd make the rest of your arm look bigger, think about it. This is why small joints are a plus from a bodybuilding/aesthetic point of view.

I burn food off way too fast, so I can't put on weight. I'm serious thin, and I can't do anything about it. I'm sure it'll be a different story completely in ten years, but it's slightly weird seeing that any girl I'm attracted to has more meat on them than I do (Not that I'm saying I have a thing for fat burds.)

There is plenty you can do about it. I used to be about 10-11 stone, for a 5' 11" height thats pretty skinny. I always thought I could never gain any weight because no matter how much I ate, my arms and legs and upper body just stayed skinny. And whenever I did pushups/situps, I never gained any muscle.

That was when I was in my early twenties and was exercising at home intermittently. I'm now 27 and am just shy of 13 stone. That 2-3 stone difference is now muscle, if you want to see a difference, you have to join a gym and have someone show you what to do. Doing 30 situps and pressups every morning has vitually no effect at all, you have to do proper 45-60 minute weight training sessions at least twice a week to gain any size.

Believe me, I always stared at my skinny legs and arms and thought I could never change, that my body was somehow different. Everyone can gain muscle no problem, its just a question of commitment. I now look far better than most people I know, it feels good.

Anyways for me it's my skin. The lot of it. Eczema does that to me. Bastard eczema.

+1 on that. Its a nightmare to keep it down. After years of trying differents creams I started using Aveeno. Its irritating at first but after about a week it was almost completely gone I couldn't believe it!

Twee.

Has to be the thighs for me. Dear god why do they look like that? Ugh! The bit of belly weight goes up and down for me, depending on how well I'm eating and exercising, but the thighs stay put. Everything else I dislike I can live with, just wish I had better legs.

dark crystal

My stomach - after 4 kids, the muscle tone is fecked.

I'd love smaller boobs, too. Big boobs make women look bigger all over, I always think.

I've been about the same weight now for the last 12 years (since the age of 19) so I can't really complain about my weight but I've only been fit looking a handful of times.
Basically if there's a girl I fancy or have newly been going out with them, then I'm jogging, eating well and getting regular sleep patterns.
For the last month I was seeing a young German Au Pair so I was running every day, cooking my own food and having a regular lifestyle. She went back home to Nuremburg for University last week and now I can already see myself slipping.
I've been drinking more than usual, eating more junk food, staying up late (check the time of post!) and have completely lost my exercise routine.
I think my problem with my looks stems from not my own perception of myself but how I think others perceive me.
I'm happy enough being single but when I'm in a relationship I do try harder, I want to be a better version of me. I wish I could take car of myself better for more selfish reasons...healthy body healthy mind and all that jazz.

I have big lumpy varicose veins on one leg only, I think it's from sitting on that leg habitually over the years. Pretty depressed that it's permanent damage unless I get surgery. It's the only cosmetic surgery I will consider.

Male BTW.

What's your bits your dislike?

I dislike mine also. too slim. And my forearms are like sticks ,aargh!

Azureus

Not mad on my nose, and hate my knees. But nothing that would get me down!
I never say it to other people because it only draws attention to the bits I dont like that they probably never would have noticed otherwise.
I always try and emphasise on the good things ie flat tummy, good bum (or so Im told) and full lips so I dont focus on the negatives especially considering theyre not things I could change without surgery!

im 30 and i still have the scars from acne on my shoulders

I'm 32 and have been getting spots since I was 11 or 12. In my teens I was prone to getting them on my shoulders, seems to more or less disappeared from there. Still targets my face though, and I've tried every trick in the book, and regardless of how well I eat and what I use on my face I still get the odd one. It's annoying because some of them can be quite sore =/

Some people use food as an emotional comfort Peachy. Maybe your minds way of dealing with stuff? Would you ever consider hypnosis?
