How do you see yourself? I have 'love handles' and a little belly and FH loves the way I look....but more often than not, I see myself as overweight and tend to get down on myself....

Not happy, ooohh not happy!
Even though I'm 'normal' weight, (5'8, 135-140#'s). I'd love to lose a few pounds. But apparently not as much as I love to eat!

Re: Personal Opinion question....
I am very athletic, but I see myself differenly depending on the clothes I'm wearing. Sometimes I feel like I have too much muscle because certain little shirts are uncomfortable around my arms, but I get over it. They make clothes for girls without any muscle!
I am in much better shape now than when I was in high school and college. I smoked in college and barely worked out at all.
I decided to go to the gym one day and I have been going 3 to four days a week ever since for the past 7 years. I pretty confident in everything but my small breasts, but I am getting over that!!!!! If I gained any weight, it would be on my butt, not my boobs!

I have very bad body image, when I look at myself I see someone in need of work.

Re: Personal Opinion question....
I am the type of person who usually feels good about myself until I see someone who I think is thinner or prettier. I feel this way about a lot of things. I am happy about my job until I talk to someone who makes more money or their job sounds better.
Within the past few years, though, I have finally started to realize that the grass is not always greener and some thinner, wealthier people are not as happy or stress free.

Y'all beautiful.. I know it's easy to see things about yourself and criticize. But if your FH/DH didn't love the PERSON you are.. you wouldn't be engaged or married to him. Sure us men like big boobs, a slim waist, etc.. but a lot of those girls have no brains beyond the looks. It's the body of course, but more importantly, the soul of my FW that I fell in love with.

Re: Personal Opinion question....
I have a good self image. There are times when I slack off on my work out and I hold my rolls and go, do you think slacking off is going to get rid of this???
I have a very athletic frame, when I tell people how much I weigh they are shocked. I am tall, very toned legs, the arms are getting there, my butt you could bonce a penny off of. But there is still the problem area, my mid-section needs some work tho' apart from that I would not trade in this body. If it was perfect what would I have to look forward to
hubby bought me a sweatsuit the other day and it was too small, he said he thought that I wore a certain size, I tried it on and we both had a good laugh. I am flattered that even my hubby thinks that I am smaller than I am.

Re: Personal Opinion question....
I have a terrible self image and always have.......i think it's because my mohter is very negative about her body image and it rubbed off on me. i lost about 35-40 pounds over the last couple of years...and i am MUCH happier with how clothes look on me....but i'm still unhappy with my naked body. FH loves me though and begs me not to lose more weight.....

Re: Personal Opinion question....
I actually like most of my upper body. I hate those flaps that are between your breasts and shoulders. My lower body I hate!!!!!! I would love to just get more tone and lose about 5-10lbs. I also think that I am super hard on myself because of being a singer/actor. It is hard to go to auditions and sit in a room full of beautiful women . You sit there for hours and just go .. If I had her legs, if I had her eyes, etc.

Re: Personal Opinion question....
i am so happy to have a body that lets me do the things i want to do. i have been an athlete my whole life, and although i do, as most woman do, fixate at times on the 'look' of it, its the purpose of my body that i love. it sounds so corny, but its so true! plus my FH says hes addicted to my body, whats better than that?!!
and all you LIW ladies...i dont know any of you personally, but you all seem to be such great human beings inside whatever body type you have!
