What things do you like?

[Lethe]

I know a lot of us suffer from eating disorders, and we're very hard on our bodies. I know I am very hard on myself and I'm critical of a lot of aspects of my physical person. In order to aid both myself and others recover, I've decided to make this thread.

So...tell me what you like about your body! It can be anything; your hair, your eye color, your feet, your lips, anything! List as many as you want. Even one aspect of your physical person that you like can be healing. Instead of being critical of ourselves and hating our bodies, we should try to focus on the things we do like.

The things I like about my body are:


Hair color
Eye color
Lips
Smile
Straight Teeth


Now it's your turn :).

This is a good self-confidence thread.

So I like my... hair and eye color and sometimes my feet and smile. Also I think I am okay with my forearms/wrists, the non-self-injured parts though).

[BrokenButterflies]

I like my hair and my eyes. I like my skin too. I guess my wrists are good too:)

Dee, I gotta say, this is the best thread you've made so far. I'm proud of you :)

Mmm lets see.... What do I like about myself? Before I woulda said hair(I had beautiful hair) but Ana killed it. So...

1. Lips! :)
2. Eyes! Most asians hate their eyes and others do too but I like my asian eyes. They're almond shaped and so dark, you'd never know what I was thinking :D
3. Skin. Sometimes I hate it but it's not too bad.
4. Face shape. I feel chubby and round sometimes but I think I look dainty x3
5. Legs! Love my legs, even if they're short! I have tiny feet heheh...
5. My hands from elbow down. I think I have really tiny hands and they're sort of cute.
6. Strange but... My tummy x3 I hate it usually... But when I flex it, you can see meh abs :D

Haha, guess I'll love myself from now on. So what if I'm not as pretty or hot or skinny as the other chicks. I have a BMI of 20+, whatever! I think I'm quite cute!

I want to reply to this i'm just trying to think of something

1. My hair colour. It's not natural but meh :p
2. My eyes. They're quite a bright blue, and with my hair they tend to stand out more.
3. My eyelashes. They're pretty long. I get asked a lot if they are real :|
4. My paleness. This is a bit of a mixed one :p i like being pale on my face, but my legs are too pale D:

I feel kind of up myself after posting that ><

This is a great thread :) So good to see a positive one like this.

Currently... I guess, I like my eye color. Not much more to say though.

I'm rubbish at listing things I like about themselves! They always come with a but after them!

1. I like my hair colour and style - its a deep chocolate brown and naturally curly so I can just wake up and go most mornings!

2. My eyelashes - I have double line eyelashes which basically means I naturally have two sets, as if I have false ones on! But I can't wear mascara because the length makes me get black dots above my eyes!

3. My legs - years of dance has meant that I do have nice toned legs, not too skinny but not fat either. And they are long! They're over 65% of my height! They're too pale though...

4. My ass - sounds weird, but even though I am still getting skinnier despite best efforts to eat more, I never lost weight around my ass. It isn't fat, but like my legs, dance has made it toned but its still roundy and looks awesome in a skirt

Double post -- don't know why! :P

[TrAnSMaN09]

My eyes, I love my eyes,

[unknownuser]

That's tough... my eyes and hair color, I guess.
I've never really liked any part of me, I just deal with the ugly mess I am, I don't care.

[ShadowGirl]

1. My eye color. I love hazel eyes
2. My eyelashes because they're very long and pretty
3. My skin color because I'm naturally a little tan

[bambino]

Someone should sticky this page—that way it'd receive more posts.

[Suicune]

Well in the sea of ugliness I call myself I guess I can fish out a couple things.

1. My voice. I don't know why I like it. Maybe because I've gotten compliments in the past but I don't know.
2. My Eyes. Blue eyes, I mean come on.
3. Smile. I don't like smiling but apparently other people like it when I smile.
4. Straight teeth. That's something that plagues my family is crooked teeth, I'm just happy mine aren't.
5. Hair color. Not sure why, but sometimes it ranges from a milk chocolate to a dark brown.

5. My tiny feet.
