Having curves truly is a blessing and a curse. Many times I used to wish I didn't have them , other times I like them.

A part of me still thinks I need to be skinny , but I'm working on liking my body the way it is.

1. Boobs

Truly hate them . They are a 36DD . Honestly they have always been big. Other women have said nasty things to me about how disgusting my boobs are.

I'm a normal weight however I'm trying to lose about 20 lbs ( I'll have a BMI of 18 then ) so my boobs can be a C cup which would be nicer than my current DD cup.

I'm also really into fitness and want to be slim. I'm not fat I know that , but I feel like my body isn't slim enough and all the other girls are skinny with smaller boobs and I envy that.

Overall I would say I hate my boobs .

2. Butt

I like my butt. It isn't super big , it isn't small. It doesn't have an ideal shape but it looks alright. I'm into fitness and lifting has really helped make it firmer and more lifted.

At some times it can be saggy if I dont work out and that makes me feel gross. Other than that I love my butt.

3. Thighs

They have always been thick , I like them . Not much to complain about. I do sometimes feel worried because I don't have hips that are so wide you would have a thigh gap. I wish I had a thigh gap , but it doesn't bother me that I don't.

4. Legs

Because I have long legs , in certain outfits my legs and thighs can look too skinny. Especially my ankles and calves are skinny. But with lifting they are getting bigger and nicer.

People do make fun of my calves telling me they are too skinny and that's weird/not feminine like fuller calves. But I try to not care about that.

Love/hate relationship with my legs I would say.

5. Hips

My hips aren't big. But they aren't small. I'd say they are average.

Lifting weights has made them look much bigger and nicer though. I build muscle easily in my legs so my hips used to be an issue but now they aren't , my hips didn't widen till I was about 17 .

6. Waist

The only favourite part of my body that I can say I really like. My measurements are 36-26-41 so my waist is very defined. Even when I was heavier it was.

Also the only part of me no one's made fun of.

7. Other parts

I do get a bit annoyed with my feet , i wear a size 8.5/9 so they are big for a woman.

My hands are about 7.5" which is honestly quite big in my opinion , people tell me it looks disgusting but I'm not sure if they are as bad as I think.

I like my shoulders , they are not big or small . About 16" across. But I like that they are defined yet slender , and I appreciate my collarbones as well.

All in all , i like and hate my body at the same time. I find myself wishing I was skinny with smaller boobs and smaller butt . I envy those who are naturally skinny. I'm still not quite accepting of how I look , but I hope one day I can stop hating my body as often as I do.
