Girls / Women : Do You Hate / Like Your Body... Yes OR No?

I am alright with my body, sometimes there are things I would change. One reason I don't like my body is because some people have put me down about my body... it happend for quite a long time. I do admit my body has changed a fair amount since then... but when you have been put down for so long it sticks in your head. I maybe have a bit of extra weight on me but if a guy tells me he loves my body (in a non-creepy way) it really boosts my confidence! Also it depends on the day!

I hate my body. Its all out of proportion. I have apple shape so I gain weight on my tummy whilst everywhere else is slim. have to work hard to be slim. lowest I've gotten to is uk size 6/8 (about 2/4 in US) but now I want to just be a size 6 all over.i was considering a size 4 but think that's bit too thin even tho I'm only small!have small chest-i make do but id love to be a b cup-im only an A. I only want to be a size 6 so my body will look in proportion-my best friend is uk size 10/12 but she has great hourglass shape which I would kill for-clothes just fit really well on her. Its more about my small height and shape than weight a lot of the time. but I don't so I have to be skinny to look ok for my shape and my height I'm barely over 5 foot 1 so I look really fat if I gain weight.

i always look at models diets and workouts-celebs too. I love following the latest trends and you have to be a uk size 6 or so to look good in them. I'm yo yo dieter but I want to get it under control as I've starved/binged/starved/binged (vicious circle) my body for about two or three years now. I hate exercise but I just can't starve myself anymore I didn't have my period for 6months the last time I did it. so I'm going to start exercising so I can eat a little bit more. I want a yoga/pilates type body which is why I'm going to start pilates and do lots of cardio-ie running. I like running and eventually want to run a marathon (its my big goal). just tone up everything and lose weight. I have to make do with the body I have instead of abusing it from now on. I pity my body for the abuse I put it under tbh. everyone says I'm obsessed and I know I am but I just can't let it go until I get what I want out of it. I know I can do it so once I do it and keep it up, ill have to accept I've done all I can with my body. I'm only 22 so plastic surgery is not an option at all.

I love my body and I have a ton of fun with it in all senses. I treat it with respect and stay healthy. I am what I am and I'm lucky to be happy with what I have. My body is not universally perfect because there is no such thing but I think it is perfect for me so I would NOT change anything about it.

I love my body and it is not perfect. What I hate are the ridiculous air brushed images we and our daughters are subjected to that paint this unrealistic picture of what a woman can look like. Even models say they don't look like themselves.

I loved that recent photo that was released of Kim Kardashian that had not been retouched. She looked great and she looked real. She did not have that flawless skin without any small bumps or ripples or a little extra something something in the wrong spot. Again, she looked great but she did not look flawless. And, for a minute, she was not happy the pic had been released in error, but quickly thought better of it and endorsed it as showing what a real woman looks like.

of course I love my body! I mean there are um parts I think can be sexier, but then, most tyms I'm nt even thinking about those parts...yes, I love my body...

It is in the human nature to never be satisfied,especially women.If you are skinny,you want to be bigger.If you are a bit more on the hefty side you want to be thinner.That's just how nature works.That is also the reason for always wanting to strive to do your best at everything.To be better than you were last time.It all fits in the same category.So I guess it is a blessing and a curse.Overall though,I'm pretty okay with my body.=)

i can't stand my body. I'm 5'2" and bout 120lbs I feel so out of proportion. the only thing that I like is that I don't have the need to wear a padded bra. lol.

I am a full figured woman and I love my body because I love what it can do for me. It may not be perfect to others but I don't care I am in excellent health and I go to the doctor when I suppose to so that is for all the people who think big equals unhealthy. My friends are smaller than me and complain about their body all the time trying to make guys happy. But my confidence is helping them to become more happy with theirselves. Guys swarm around me a lot but I don't give them the time of day.Plus no woman's skin and warmth is just like mine so ladies appreciate yourself so another person can too.

Im 5 feet.
skinny..

No Boobs.
and no butt.
i love being short
but I just wish I had
even a little bit of curve:(

i absolutley love my body, if I could only pick one part...well I cant! only thing is my hair is carazy curly =]

I love my body, the only thing I don't like about it is the fact that I need to lose some wieght. If I lost 17 pounds and got to my healthy BMI (24) , I would be healthier. I think healthy is sexy. Plus, I love my hourglass shape, I got's a little of everything :).Feminine figures look cute and woman should never hate their bodies. All girls are cute in their own way.

Back then I didn't...But now I absolutely loooove my body!

I love my waistline
I love my arms
I love my butt
I love my hips
I love my breast
I love my thighs
...Thanks to Pilates, Yoga, Kickboxing, Tai-Chi, and Carribean Dance

Plastic Surgeons (Go F$ck yourselves) . I rather put in work at the gym, than make you prosper!

I don't like my body a whole lot, but I like it better than I used to. I've lost 2 inches on my stomach, 2 on my hips, and 2 on my thighs, also, so I'm more confident than I was before. I more like my features, actually. That's what keeps me going. I feel like I'll be really pretty when I get toned and have the body I want (36B-26-36), because I have long eyelashes, high cheekbones, and pretty blue eyes.

It is well known that women, even ones that seem to be "perfect", have issues with their bodies. It is a bummer. I don't know why it is the case but I can say that the stuff we see in the media, particularly marketing, set this completely unrealistic view of what a woman's body looks like. Further when men pick a mate the first thing they look at is physical attractiveness. Luckily what they find attractive is varied and many men simply do not notice and are not concerned with half the things we find fault with, but we don't know that and we continue to obsess about how we need this or that to look better. I guess you could say overall the societal message is that women are valued for their physical appearance to a high degree.

I enjoy my hourglass figure and the curves that I've luckily inherited. Only part of my body I would change is my tummy, had a c-section with my daughter if that can explain it better.

i don't like my body. I don't like how much hair I have on my fac, I don't like what I look like I have an ugly face! I don't like my but or my belly when I wear jeans and I sit down I have a bit of belly fat hang out, I have a smalll butt

I want my bodie I had before I had my son. :(
Nothing fits right, I have giant hips, thighs
Sstretch marks everywhere
What I would give for $8500 for the mommy make over.

i hate my body, I'm really fat and ugly. Its the worst thing ever.

I pretty much love mine. I go through phases of wanting to change things, but overall, I'd say I feel pretty good about myself.

I do work out a lot though. I'm afraid it's almost an obsession. It makes me feel good though, and it's a way to positively use up my excess energy.

I don't like my body in some ways. For example I don't like being 5"11 and having size 11feet. Whereas I like my big butt and big boobs, and 50/50 on my semi-flat stomache (it could be better) :3 I think I'm fat and ugly but people say I am perfect and gorgeous that I should be a model.. But in some ways I like my body and in some ways..I just dont! :(

I FRIGGEN LOVE MY BODY :]
lols I sometimes feel the need to run because I've gotten a bit lazy but all in all I do love what god gave me
and yer its not prefect but who is prefect neway :D
lols the only thing I would ever change is the fact that I'm soooo white lols only in the winter thoo hehhee

i hate my body because I'm too tall (5'9"), my skin sucks (i've had acne for 3 years), I have small boobs, stomach fat, I think my thighs are too big, my feet are huge, I'm too pale and I just feel ugly. there's the raw truth of what I think, even if others wanna tell me differently.

I actually feel pretty good with the way I look..

@ times I don't like my body at all because I see soo many cute outfits that are specifically made for smaller girls but at the end of the day I love my curves. I'm thick and comfortable with it. I love staring at myself in the mirror when I'm naked. Sure, I might point out flaws but everyone has flaws, no one in this world is perfect so why stress myself?!

I'm actually ok with the way I look.
I would consider myself curvy...not skinny and am happy the way I look.

i don't like my body. I am way to skinny and can't gain weight. k well I am so skinny you but I am skinny. I wouldn't mind a bigger chest lol.
plus I am pale.

I hate my body, there are so many things that I would change about it. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it.

guys tend to be more confidente overall with their bodies usually than with girls. the thing is that girls always compare themselves to others around them and whatever their frirnds or family members have that they are proud of that we don't have, tends to be what we are insecure about. it may not even be that the thnings we dislike are bad, but just that they are different.

i love my body, I didn't when I was slightly overweight , not obese or super chunky, just thick. I didn't treat myself very well. Then I started to change my diet and exercise more and be more active in sports and activities and watched my changes of myself for months, now I couldn't be happier.

most women hate theyre body just becuase theyre so used to it, but then we see someone with practically the same body and the womans like "omg I wish I had your bod!" haha its just...girls

I can't say I'm a big fan of my body. I don't like the idea of my naked body at all, and my boyfriend rarely gets to see me completely naked.
I'm ok with my shape, I would MUCH rather have a curvy figure than be straight up and down with no shape at all, so I'm thankful for the curves to an extent, but after having 2 babies and breastfeeding for a few years, there are definitely things that I would love to change. Dropping some weight would be a great start, and cosmetically I would love breast augmentation and lift as well as a tummy tuck. (Only because of the body change after babies tho.)
:-)

I don't like my body but I make it look like to people I do by having fake confidence. Its not a bad body I just wish I was thinner more like 100 pounds and a bit taller because I'm very short.

I hate my knees

hate my feet and my hands are a little weird I think lol but I love everything else :)

i'm alright with it however I believe I am a perfectionist and I'm never satisfied but overall satistfied if that makes any sense. I am confident however I realize there are things I like to make better or model myself to whatever the trends are like in magazines I read but yeah, I'm happy.

I love my body, I always say I want to change things and stuff like that but in the end I am happy.

I love my hourglass shape and my long slightly curling black hair and naturally tanned skin! I used to worry about my weight then I looked at my body and ignored the scale and realized how good! I looked I am a D cup so often I don't fit in the cute stuff but my butt is really big and then I had this tiny waist in the middle, blech then I took a second look. . .
CONFIDENCE counts! YAY

Advertising in magazines and on television usually shows these super-skinny models all dolled up & photoshopped and send the message that this is what is natural or beautiful. This is disturbing because the average model weighs roughly 20% less than the average woman. This leaves most women thinking that they are overweight and unattractive when in all actuality, they are at a healthy weight. With this sort of negative stimuli constantly being thrown at women, via posters, websites, or movies, it's not difficult to see why most women are unhappy with their bodies.

I personally am about 125lbs & healthy, but compared to girls like these --> link , I'm a cow. These women set impossible standards for the majority of society who are naturally curvy and BEAUTIFUL!

I'm comfortable with my body, I mean, I'm chubbier than most of the girls who strut their stuff around my school, but I'm fine with who I am. and that's that.

I want a breast lift and a tummy tuck! Mommyhood ruined my body.
(lol) Not that it was perfect to begin with.

Em I have times that I love it, times that I hate it. I'm pretty thin I guess but its just natural. I do play a lot of sport but I don't eat healthy at all. I do wish I had a thinner face and bette legs. And I wish I had a totally different appearance sometimes. I am not too fond of how I look, some days I like it, some I dont.

im an hourglass, and have size d breasts... my arms arnt that great, my hips are huge compared to my waist.. and my les are lean with muscle.. yes, I love my body alot

I love what God gave me.
I work out every day! It's tough, but I do it.

I know what you mean, though. Many girls think too much about what others can't see.
Cellulite. Who cares?

Others look at the models on runways and expect to look like them.
Skin and bones and such.

i have really slender hands and arms and my waist is small too. My thighs and calves are huge, they are the two things I wish I could change to make my body feel more "balanced." A lot of girls/women have problems with their bodies because of media images.

Well, I've had problems before on comparing myself to friends and other girls and it's gotten me down before. Now I know that it's really lame to do that but I still do.:/ I see things in them that I want. Even if it's something that they don't. I'm proud that I'm here and everything but there's so many things I wish I could change. And I know that I will. I'd be a much happier person. Well, more happy. For example, I want my tummy smaller, my boobs smaller (they are just too big to me) and my thighs smaller. I think I have too wide of shoulders and my arms bug me too. I just want it to look better so that I can more of myself inside AND out.

I can't stand my midsection. There's just too much there for me. But you know, despite my extra "softness", I think my body is pretty nice. I've got curves, soft hair and skin. I'm not nearly as pretty as the superstars, but then again... I don't have a professional team to make me over.
It took me years to realize the unrealistic expectation that I'm being compared to, but it doesn't matter. My body is healthy and can support a life. That's pretty amazing to me!

I don't like my stomach at all. I have had three kids one pregnancy was a set of twins so you can imagine how my skin stretched. I also have had one c section that left m with this little shelf that I hate.

well I'm satisfied with my body really, I learned that if I can't love my body, simple nobody will !
i gained and lost weight and now I'm just glad I look the way I am, I'm not skinny and I'm not fat, I have curves and I fit in most of the pretty cloths ( or at least I think so)
at some points I was very resentful to how big my boobs were or how my tummy isn't flat when I go to the beach but I got over it. I just love my body that way it is !

i like my body right now, I like it when I am at a certain weight I yo yo sometimes. I like it, but I would def. like it way better after I drop these last 5-8 pounds. I hate chub, I only like myself when I am toned up which means gym gym gym for the rest of my lifeeeeeeee .

My body is fairly mediocre, in my opinion. I mean, I know my body isn't horrible, but I must admit, I wish certain parts of me were a bit smaller or larger. For example, when I see girls on television that look so great in bikinis, I wish that my stomach were as flat as theirs. I know I am not fat, but I am not as slim as them either.

Insecure as all hell, thank you very much. I'd get rid of my acne, drop about 20 lbs., get rid of my cellulite and all my damn scars. Then I'd firm up my boobs. And I'd get a tan, because I'm down right pasty. It's funny, because I have a boyfriend who insists I'm beautiful right after introducing me to every hot girl he knows, half of which are in love with him. It feels like a sick joke.

I'm done complaining, I just had to get that out.

i love how almost all of the people answering the poll are girls.

I love the way my body is. I work hard at it, and I'm very proud of it. I am very secure about my body shape and size.

Of course I would like to change parts of my body. I would like to be a bit more shapely with more curves (I have no butt). I don't care about having big boobs, but a little more might be nice.

BTW, why do you have such a nasty profile name? It makes me throw up in my mouth every time I see it. It seems like it would be more appropriate for some nasty site like adult friend finder than a site like this.

I'm contented with my body and happy about. And beside, when it comes to love, body is not involve. When it comes to sexual intimacy, its not the body that matters, it the act on how you would satisfy your partner.

i hate my body I wish I was like a size 10 in uk sizes...i can't keep my weight down I have PCOS polycystic ovaries

i actually like my body, but I'm toning up and losing weight. I think I have a nice bottom, boobs, hips, and I love my eyes/eyelashes. I'm really petite tho, so I would love to be a bit taller... I'm basically working on my major flaws (weight) and loving what I have got to offer :)

I used to hate my body. But one day after poking the muffin top I have I came to the conclusion its MY body, if I want to change it is up to me, and the shape, the curves and the things I don't like about it make this body mine. Its unique, a portrait of my life.

I'm fine with it. Somtimes I really love it, other times I don't but generally I'm comfortable with it.

I love my body. I look awesome in a bikini. But of course, there are things I'd change. I'd make my boobs a b-cup and I'd get rid of any traces of cellulite. Longer legs. Eradicate acne, nose a little smaller. Fingers a little longer, toes less curled. Eradicate all traces of dark-colored body hair.
The little things :)

i just get tanner and loose like 8 pounds, but that's it

I only hate my body because of what time has taken from me...

Sometimes I like my body, sometimes I don't. No matter how happy I am with the rest of my body, I don't think I'll ever like my legs. For the longest time, I just saw them as fat. Now, I've come to the conclusion that they're not, it's all in my head, but I still don't like them. I think that's the only consistent thing that I don't like, everything else is just here and there depending on the day.

I have my good days and my bad days. Sometimes I feel like guys won't be attracted to me because I don't have a perfectly flat stomach, etc. (I'm not like huge, I wear a US size 10 or 12, but I'm not really skinny. On the most part I like my body, but there are things that I could change. A LOT of girls are really really self concious though.

I've been told I'm too critical of my body by friends, and my family has often said, "If only you could see what we see". I'm not fond of my body, and I can't believe what those who care about me say. Right now I feel heavy, but I'm not overweight. I'm just not used to not being the one everyone says is skinny. Now I'm "average", which annoys me, especially since my closest friends are still tiny. Plus I weigh at least 10 pounds more than they do, and though I know height is a factor, I still hate it. I'm half convinced they lie to me, but then again I doubt it. If I could lose 13 pounds, I'd be happier. I still wouldn't be completely satisfied though as I have disliked things about my body since before I became "average". I do think I look better thinner though. Also, I'm supposedly average height, but it seems tall to me. I've always wished I could be short and petite. Then I feel plain looking, and I think I have wide shoulders. Those are my biggest faults-I have more.

That said, I don't "hate" my body. I just have a lot of things I want to fix before I am content with it. I've already started eating healthier (trying anyway), and if it ever stops raining, I plan to walk more. Still, that's not quite going to be enough. I need to work out so I can be toned.

I've had a love/hate relationship with my body. Not being particularly confident about for aloooooong time makes a difference in how you view you body later on, and for a long while I held myself to standards I would never expect other women to meet. It doesn't help that I'm a teenager- one lacking popularity. So there have definitely been times when I felt I was simply an unattractive shape- even though I'm well within my weight range. But I've gotten a lot more confident and fond of myself in the last year or so- enough to realize that as far as bodies go, mines pretty good. (=
Part of being a teenage girl is that your going to be bombarded with images and ideals of 'perfect' woman, and constant reinforcement of appearance as this end all thing (particularly in love). That on it's own can cause pains of envy for those girls who seem to naturally look perfect, and everyone likes them better for it... In the mind of someone less confident, these thoughts turn inward and just linger in the back of your mind.
That was a really thought-provoking question, thanks for asking!

i put b, I like my body but I wouldn't mind changed some parts of it. I would love to be about 10 pounds smaller and toner. I work out alot, so far I like how my body is changing can't waittt to see what happens in a month or two.

Sometimes I feel great. I have long legs, I'm 5'9, I can't complain about much things. But I haaate my arms. I guess you could say I have an hourglass shape (I weigh about 133 lb), but I'm no skin and bones. I have to go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week to stay toned and constantly eat well. I'll always wish I were 4 pounds lighter, though. Even when I'm in my best shape, I'll be like "Oh, just a pound or two here and I'll be set". It all depends on the day. And when you compare yourself to other girls.

I put that I LOVE my body, which I do for the most part. I love what God gave me: pretty hair, beautiful eyes and smile, nice ass, good legs, and I even like my small boobs. There are some things that I don't like, but those are things that I have to fix myself and can't complain about.

I used to love my body, I worked out 5 days a weeks and was in great shape. Then I moved to Europe to be with my now ex and gyms aren't so frequent here. I ended up gaining a lot of weight and at the peak of my weight gain my ex left me to be with a way skinnier girl. I hated that I had gained weight and was no longer in shape, but after that my body image took a complete nose dive. After the break up, I didn't have the appetite for much and ended up losing the weight I had gained and then some. Then, at that time things didn't work out with my ex and his new girl and he was suddenly all over me again. We are not together because I can't get over what happened, but as I lose more weight he seems to want me more sexually.

At this point, I don't hate my body but there are things I want to change.

i like my body but there are some parts I'd like to change. I'm comfertable with myslef and that's all the really matters

I always hated the fact that I'm so tall (at least 5'10) and very slim but I've very feminine shapes like a C cup. Now I appreciate my body a lot more and I've found peace with the fact that I'll often be taller than guys but I know it's something I could never change. I even go out in heels now.

There are definitely some parts of my body I'd like to change..who wouldn't want to change something? But you know...I still kinda like my body. I don't work out at all, but I guess my body looks good for someone who doesn't work out. I look at myself in the mirror every now and then and go "dayummm" ;) lololol

That's a very interesting question!
Everything depends on emotions,sometimes I like my body,sometimes there are things id like to change badly.I really don't like my butt,id like to have a rounder one,i don't like my stomatch,it's not ehough flat and my arms,and hair...But I like my legs,breasts and eyes.
There are times id just sit down and cry ;) That's such a silly thing,but that's the truth.I really feel self consicious about my body,but I realized that's not the most importnat thing in the life.

Voted B. Simply because there are things I would/will try to change/improve with work outs and
healthy diet. Sadly I am a perfectionist and when it comes to the body I can always find something to criticise. I'm 5'6 which is ok for me, before I disliked to be a little bit short but I don't envy tall girls - better to be short! Because it's cute and guys like it =D

I really love my body...I think I'm tall (5'8") and have really long legs, a long neck, but recently with all the bad "press" about thin girls, I don't really like the fact that I'm so thin...but I'm working on appreciating it... :)

I don't like my body because I am 5'1... I know that I am not wide or fat, but because I am short my body parts seem wider than they are. I feel like my body parts would be perfect proportion if I was taller but I'm short... and since I am so short, I have no waist! I am happy with my face though, and my smile :) I just try to remember that I am my toughest critic... I cannot change my body so I struggle to love it...

I like my body for the most part. I am 5'2" and I hate my short legs. Also no matter what I do my legs are big/muscular. I can't have long thin legs no matter what I do and I hate that. I love that even after my daughter I still have a 27 inch waist, I love my boobs and my butt so overall I am okay with me. Some days I feel worse about myself than others but I am sure that is the way most women feel...

I like so much about my body, I might be on the bigger side but so are my boobs so I'm even. I have recently goten over two eating disorders ad decided if a guy or girl does not like me for my body then there an ass anyway. I run every day and I'm loseing weight. but I run to stay healthy not to lose weight. I think I'm a sexy beast... ok that's pushing it.. I think I'm cute =]

I absolutely love the shape of my body and appreciate how it's naturally that way. I still work out 1-2 times a week to keep it toned though. What I'm not too fond of is the fact that I'm only 5'2.

I hate my body. I have struggled with eating disorders since the 8th grade. I have small A cup breast and no bottom to speak of. I hate being pear shaped as well.

i don't hate my body but I don't love it.
the only thing I dislike is my height
sadly, its something I can't change

I'm in the middle. I think that every woman out there, has something about her appearance that she would be willing to change. I know I do! Some girls would change minor things, like the freckles on their face, or the color of their hair. (Both of which can be easily "changed" with make-up and hair coloring) However many of us would want to change more complex things, like the size of our thighs, the color of our skin, the shape of our nose. I'm not 100% happy, but nobody is. We can't be perfecct. So we deal, and mope! Guys, deal with it! Its a way of life.

Most of the time, I feel great about my body. I only feel self conscious when I start wondering what other people think of my body. I personally like the way I look. But I feel worried that I won't be accepted by other girls or that guys won't find me attractive. So I guess it all boils down to a fear of being alone or being rejected.

It depends on the day. At times I feel like the hottest thing on the planet. Other times, I kinda wanna hide away and not let anyone see me for a while. Actually, it can get pretty bad. Especially those special days when we feel kinda crampy, bloated and lethargic. Those days where we could swear that our favorite jeans are a lot more snug today than they were a couple weeks ago, and you find it almost pointless to get dressed and put on makeup.. When I'm at that stage, almost no amount of "You're beautiful!"'s or "You look fine!"'s will convince me. Other times though, just having that special someone smile at me will make me feel like a goddess again.
But yeah, I work hard on my body, so I like it for the most part. Mhmm. every girl has "those days".
