Which body part has become the biggest bane of your existence?
Original post by PeteysBride
This is a depressing topic I know! But then we can do a spinnoff off the parts we love most! I am looking for sympathy from my fellow ladies; that we all have one thing about us we dislike but we are still DEAD SEXY!
i thought of this because I went to the gym today and the genius that deisgned it, put a WALL OF GLASS facing from the lockers so you must walk towards it on your way to make the right that takes you into the shower area.
I have always hated my thighs but seeing them wall to wall lmao NOT GOOD for the ego that is supposed to be getting me through boduoir pics in 2 months!
But I digress. The thighs and budunk-a-dunk have always been an issue. My new issue is my belly!
I NEVER HAD ONE. Seriously-its flatish still but definetly has some pooch going on. I know most women do but mine has ALWAYS been unanturally flat naturally. I never did situps EVER and yet trainers would ask me what I did to get the six pack. I would tell em I drank maragritas and ate cheese puffs
My mom and my brother have the same lines of deliniation naturally. just odd. But now as I get older, I still have the lines on the side, but in the middle I get the softness. Final straw was when Pete 'CUPPED IT' last weekend when we were spooning.
When i kicked him (none too gently) he said 'WHAT? I like it. its pokey.'
Pokey????!
So thats my newest obession-getting the belly BANISHED!
Anyone else?

We're gettin OLD ladies!
I do tend to think its just slowing of our metabolisms because I was fine till i turned 25. Even my dad teases me about becoming 'Bertha Butt' now. he says me and my mom can be the Butt Sistees Like thanks dad!
Its funny cause its like ALL of a sudden. I look at pieces of cheesecake lovingly and carees its creamy side as I whisper a passionate 'you are sooo going STRAIGHT to my ***.'
Susi..I hear ya on your shelves but I am sure Dh likes to 'fill up' those shelves from time to time REAL good
there is one very important hing to be taken from this thread and that is...
We are all FINE looking women! Like seriously, we are probably rolling our eyes at one another like 'she's gorgeous! What is she talking about?!'
Helps remind us that though WE see faults with ourselves, rest of the world and our Dh's especially, think we're doing ok.

That's exactly what I was thinking!! I do that all the time. Even a friend of mine who I always thought was so much thinner and in better shape than me - I found out we weigh exactly the same!! So how come we can't see it in ourselves??

Thats why i started the thread-because I forget and its nice to see other people complainign about their body parts so I can say 'You are on CRACK! You're gorgeous.' then its like OOPS...she might be thinking the same thing about me...
LOL some reverse therapy.

I have a very athletic build, which I guess is what you get from running so much mileage, but no matter how much mileage I do the tummy is never as toned as the rest of my body. It is very frustrating, but I must accept it because I do not have time to run over 30 miles a week.

Thanks - I try to get to the gym 5-6 days a week so its somewhere between 25-30 miles. I know this sounds crazy, but days I don;t go after work, I don;t know what to do with myself. I just sit on the computer waiting for DH to get home so I figure best to use my time productively.

I wish I did that-I mean I get home at 7pm and depending on his schedule, DH may or may not be there when i get home so I SHOULD go out but I dont drive so to getto the gym is a pain. I would have to go after work and then I get home at 8...its a LONG day since I am up at 5. I am trying to go in the mornings-dont have to get up any earlier, just roll out of bed and into gym clothes and get on the bus to the city. that way I work out then. I am taking spinning classes now so thats a motivation.

My tummy's been a little bigger than usual lately cuz of all the junk I've been eating. But the part of my body that has always bothered me is my upper arms. No matter how much I've tried in the past (I say past because I've pretty much given up) I've never been able to get them to look toned. They have that flappy thing going on and I HATE it!!!

Just wait until you hit 40. Everything goes downhill. Boobs Butt Face
My face is falling. The neck is starting to get softer and droop, the eyes are starting to sink a bit, the cheeks are slowly moving towards my neck. Suck$ getting older, but the thought of any plastic surgery scares the heck out of me. I just saw a picture of Dolly Parton the other day and she looks just as scary as Joan Rivers.

Hmm Grace have you tried heavier weights with lower reps for upper body? I ask because I always ahd skinny arms and couldnt even lift ten pounds overhead. Now I can get 45 on the machines up in the ovrhead press.
I did what DH suggested-might be worth giving it a shot. If it doesnt work, nothing lost.
Start with as heavyy a weight as you can comfortably get up between 7 and 10 times. On the last 3 or so of each set, you should be struggling a little to get it up.
Do three sets of 7-10 reps. Every week or every two weeks, go up a weight, even if it is 2 1/2 pounds. I did this with the flat bench press and was AMAZED at how quickly I got stronger. The low weigth hight rep didnt work for me like it does for some girls, cause I had NO muscle there to begin with. Weight traners do what i was doing so figured it was worth a shot. And NO you will NOT get bulky-how I looked for the wedding, was after I started that routine and was at my strongest and I was nowehere near bulky.
Lower body I always do higher reps, lower weight to streamline.

I have gained & lost a lot of weight in my day- thanks Crohn's- so my chest looks like i've had kids already aren't I lucky??
I've accepted that though because atleast it means i'm STILL healthy
my arms are disgusting. I need to do something about that.
on a happier note, my butt & thighs are thick and I LOVE IT!! I LOVE MY BIG BUTT I've got some junk in the trunk & I like it.. I truly accept my *curves*

Gotta love a big butt. I dont mind my curves-I hate bathing suits but WHO honestly doesn't? In clothes I like the curve. Nothing worse than one of those unfortunate women who has an @ss that looks like someone stuck a straw in itt and ****** hard.
