Usually nothing. It’s just my body doing body things as I wander through my life. I worked pretty hard to get to body neutrality and body gratitude, so I stay far away from any sort of body judgement thoughts.
I cannot accept the way my belly looks after having 5 kids. I’m so self conscious when naked.
And no amount of “you gave life you should be proud of your body” ( I am proud of what I did, still hate the way it looks now) is gonna change how I feel when I look down.
“Wow I’m actually losing weight this time. How do I love my body as it’s changing?”
I don’t have loose skin or anything, but I’m in an odd between place. Not as heavy as I was, not even close to my goal. But making progress and I have conflicted emotions about what it looks like rn.
As someone who was raised in the era of “Nicole Richie is fat!!!”, my initial thought is some form of criticism. But then I immediately snap out of it and realize I’m being too harsh on myself.
Remember, it’s not about the initial reaction, it’s about the meaningful one!
I am almost 5 months postpartum, and my new body still feels very unfamiliar to me. None of my clothes fit the same, my hips are permanently widened, and my breasts could not supply the milk needed to feed my child. I have stretch marks and sciatic pain that are both hard to ignore. I will get to a point of love and acceptance eventually, but it is hard when motherhood is so physically demanding and my body is struggling to keep up
I think if someone else where to have my body theyd be happy to look down and see it. i know logically im attractive but when i see myself i can only appreciate how even my complexion is
I am thankful it allows me to move and eat and dance and read and sleep and laugh and feel the breeze on my skin 🙂
It might not be to everyone’s tastes, but I love myself including my eyes and hair and muscles and everything else, and that’s more important than anyone’s opinion.
I see a mammal animal with natural, healthy body hair and skin that shows memories of a lifetime lived.
Our bodies are vessels to carry us through this world and we should be grateful for every day we’re alive and healthy. Your face is a culmination of all of your ancestors’, a face of love.
My stomach is gross. I have stretch marks now & I never did. Even when I was overweight a few years ago I never got to the point of gaining stretch marks.
I’ll never be this young and hot ever again lmfao. I love my soft tummy and how curved i am, I look at my body and get really emotional that it’s the same body I looked at as a teenager and it will stay with me for as long as I am alive
I very thankful that my body always helped me when life Was soll extra hard.
I could never hate anything because thats all me and my struggle which I mastered.
I stopped hate what I have and love my titts, booty…
I started eating healthy and work out.
My body is worth to be treated well
All the imperfections are human.
I don’t want to be perfect anymore
It’s boring
I start picking out things I dislike and then I get sad that it’s always my first reaction. I don’t think I’ve ever thought all of it is beautiful so trying to change that mindset as I get older.

Thanks for 70 healthy years!

“There’s my body.”
“Looks good today”
Sexyyyy😂😂
Just a little more exercise!
Sexy
I like what I see. Feels good to be comfortable in my own skin
Heh heh Titties!
Thank you for putting up with all the medical pain and (what feels like) torture over the last 10 years.
Nah not great
I can still see my toes! Yay! 🤪
I just love tacos so much
Arrrrrrgh !!! 😭

Gross
What the heck did I spill on my shirt?
I am pregnant and I LOVE seeing my big round belly in the mirror. I feel so beautiful 🥰 .
Outside of pregnancy, I always tried to find the beauty in me and not focus on the flaws 🙂 . There are both.
Aren’t I lovely?

I’m fat. I need to lose weight.
Well, at the moment, all I see is my huge pregnancy bump haha. So I smile and rub my belly.
I dont have any body insecurities, they mostly are about my ugly nose
At least in 50 years I ll get to cosplay the hag in Snowwhite
350lbs! That’s it. From now on, exercise. Every morning!
I like what I see and I think I look great 😁
Keep going
I tell myself my small frame and lack of hips and breasts would make me very popular in Ancient Greece 😭
I need lipo
I just looked at the size of my belt it’s almost as tall as I am 😭
I don’t feel great about it. I out on a decent amount of weight this year from medication and I’m grumpy.
What do I think!?
Gees, I’m 54, and I still have a hell of a bod!! Gotta love that sporty childhood that started things off.
Though, I did discover my first gray hair a few weeks ago. The march of time, I guess.
i need to stop snacking
[removed]
Gross!
Lookin good.
Don’t cry don’t cry don’t cry

“Still so much better than my bullies”
They used to call me Olive Oyl. Turns out I beefed up once I hit my adult years and now on my late 40s, I think I’m in a much better place than them.
Not petty… Sorry, yes, I’m petty. 🫠
Hate it. I used to have permanent abs but now I’m flabby….
But I’m also a new mum so there’s that
I look like one of those troll dolls, from the 90s. I think my little tummy is cute.
“yuck”
There’s way too much of it.
Damn I’ve got some cool tattoos 😏
Looking great! But also I need some lotion on my legs.
Good job girl.
Proof of your hard work in lots of places.
Daaaamn. 😎
“God I’m so hot”
Eww

when im not bloated? ouhh boobies
when im bloated ? omg belly. im pregnant
Thankful. Learning to love and appreciate my body for the first time in my 35 years of life
I try not to. 😁
If I’m looking down, it’s usually to pat my tummy and say “good job, tummy” after a healthy BM. Gotta show gratitude, lol.
UGH need to stop eating
I’m happy with my body. I’m healthy and fit and I work hard to keep it that way.
I just feel sad. Anorexia since I was 16 and I’m 32 now. It’s really effected my perception of my body
[removed]
[removed]
That’s me. I love it.
Bleh. I need to lose some weight.
I think if someone else where to have my body theyd be happy to look down and see it. i know logically im attractive but when i see myself i can only appreciate how even my complexion is
I wonder if I’ll ever change shape… been in the same body since 15 basically, and I’m 31
Hell yeah 😎
She’s been through a lot and yet she’s still standing. Although I could have done without the premature graying.
Cancer worked me the fuck over! Look at all those scars and the extra weight!
I’m surviving though. Good for me. Thanks, body.
“Christ Almighty I didn’t know you could be this pale”
Ew. Just. Ew
Ah, my meat prison.
A mixture of ‘this is weird’ and ‘im so cute’ tbh.
Moreso existential than self-depreciating for the first one.
Hot as fuck
being corporeal stinks
I am thankful it allows me to move and eat and dance and read and sleep and laugh and feel the breeze on my skin 🙂

why is my stomach so bloated

My stomach is gross. I have stretch marks now & I never did. Even when I was overweight a few years ago I never got to the point of gaining stretch marks.
That I’m so happy with what I have. I also get hotter every day.
Straight up, “I really hate myself” lol
body is tea
That even though I may not feel it, I look pretty. ♥️
Ill lose this soon if I eat better
Pretty good. Could tone up a bit if I stick to a routine
Everywhere except my tummy I think “oh it’s actually not that bad”.
When I look at my tummy I feel disgusting and like exercising for days on end
I either think I’m a goddess or a potato
Gee i’m getting fat
I’m pretty neutral to my body. It just exists.
Oh no, I am fat. I don’t recognise myself anymore. Been inactive for over a year now due to serious health issues.
I should fix my posture
Damn! Better at 71 than 35!
“This is my body and I’m comfortable with it no matter what anyone else says. My comfort with my own health and appearance is what matters most.”
I hate it and myself.
I’m fairly satisfied because I work hard on myself but I hate my guts when I’m PMSing.
Could be worse. Could be better. Lol
Oh dear. What happened?
Dissapointed
Eh, kind of fuzzy, but whatever
Why all my fat goes to my thighs, but I’m not complaining tho
‘Why am I single ‘ lol
disgusting
Oh that’s me hi me
There is muscles I work for, wrinkles I got, some loose skin I earned, scars I experienced, and I am tanned. I am fine.
She kinda chunky 😂
I’ll never be this young and hot ever again lmfao. I love my soft tummy and how curved i am, I look at my body and get really emotional that it’s the same body I looked at as a teenager and it will stay with me for as long as I am alive
I wonder how and what my baby is doing in there.
Ugh. Disgusting.
We need to fix that shit immediately.
“I’d fuck me” but only in my buffalo bill voice
“Gorgeous”
Dis is a human bodyyy. Okay💙
I’d love to have verifiable proof I still have feet and a penis.
I don’t think anything really. just immediately want to cry.
Needs mode meat.
Frustration.
I guess it’s because of health problems
Dang girl, all that hard work is really paying off
[removed]
Curse the universe for giving me a manly build.
Sad
It is getting better…
Boobies
🤮🤢 basically
[removed]
I wish I could lose the baby weight.
“ah a human body”
i’m ace btw 💜🤍🖤
“20 more pounds to go”
It depends…today it’s “you should be at the gym right now”
“You need to work harder & lift heavier to get to your goals”
“Damn, I wish I had taken sexy photos back when my body was untouched by pregnancy and breast feeding.” Le sigh.
[removed]
Eww
“Is that another stretch mark? When the heck did that show up??”
[removed]
I want to be touched
Thank god for that lipo I got a few years ago, I look amazing ✨
So. Much. Hair. 😞
I want to learn to love you the way you deserve
[removed]
Not great but it’ll do.
Well this is my meat suit that I am stuck with forever.
I’ve come so far! 3 babies, all that crap I put into my body, and look at me now after surgery, I’m fucking sexy
I hate my boobs, I wish I was bigger.
ooooh, sexy–thats it
“Still slim… Lucky me.”
I very thankful that my body always helped me when life Was soll extra hard.
I could never hate anything because thats all me and my struggle which I mastered.
I stopped hate what I have and love my titts, booty…
I started eating healthy and work out.
My body is worth to be treated well

I don’t want to be perfect anymore
It’s boring
Oh look i have a new red spiderweb.
Disgusting, why is my husband even with me anymore.
Ughhhhhhhhhh why am I so chub chub chub, with a dose of urrrrghhhh stupid boobies
“Ugh.”
“This is the biggest I’ve ever been”
And the most stressed.
Depressed.
Less motivated.
Probably the shittiest year since 4 years ago.
“Why is my right nipple bigger than the left? Why do I have titty stretch marks? Why is my belly button so long? Is that a mole or cancer?”
Ugliness unfortunately
“Ah, well. I guess in the next life..”
-sigh- I’m a whale and unhealthy
Thank fuck for clothes.
I start picking out things I dislike and then I get sad that it’s always my first reaction. I don’t think I’ve ever thought all of it is beautiful so trying to change that mindset as I get older.
Learned not to look down. Can’t beat that reflection in the McDonald’s window as I’m walking in..
I avoid it as much as possible.
This is as good as its ever gonna get and it ain’t great but it’s what it is.
