Positive Body Image thread

alphabassettgrrl · 02-14-2008, 10:21 PM

I'd like to invite everybody to post something you like about yourself. There is no negativeness- no saying there is "nothing lovable or good" about oneself. Yes there is. There's at *least* one good quality. Post it here.

Then find another one. Post that too.

The world beats us down enough. Time to focus on the good stuff. That's more fun.

Even though I'm pale as a ghost, the positive is that my skin is nowhere near as wrinkled as most people my age. (I kept my face slathered in sunblock even when young because I really didn't want freckles, and tanning was futile). I'm sort of shocked when I run into former classmates, and I've even had a few ask me if I had 'something done'. Payback for being melanin-challenged.

(Good thread, ABG!)

Oh, and my eyes are okay- I hated them when I was younger because they're so big, but I kinda like them now. Especially on Tori- she has my eyes but her dad's lashes, which are thick and dark.

I have pretty eyes and blue toenails.

I have shiny, naturally colored hair.

The muscles in my legs are well defined.

I like my skin.
I like my lips.
I like my eyelashes.
I like my pointy ears.

I like my eyes -- blue with hazel around the pupils

I looked cute tonight

Behind the specs, I like my eyes. My complexion is also lovely, so I am told. Like WB, once I knew better, I stayed clear of sun without sunblock. Those dividends are paying off nicely now.

Good thread A!

Morrigoon, please do not misintepret this comment, but you look damn good in your conductor uniform.

How could she possibly misinterpret that comment, ya big dyke?

I like that I can still keep up with teenagers, athletics-wise. I tied Cat (a cross country champion) in a sit-up race not too long ago. Sure it was only to 25, but still.
