What's Your Favorite Body Part? Your Least?
 
As I go through my Atkins journey, I realize that there are some parts of my body that aren't going to change, regardless of how much weight I lose or how much I exercise. For example, I am thick waisted relative to my hips and shoulders. This is true even when I lose weight and have a flat stomach. I would love to have the hourglass type figure but it just ain't in the cards for me. :tears:

On the other hand, I'm happy about my hands and wrists (funny, huh?). Even when I gain weight, my fingers always look long and slender, and my wrists are small. But for my dishpan hands and the fact that I am in desperate need of a manicure, maybe I coulda been a hand model! :lol:

So what is your fave part about your body and your least? BTW, I'm not talking about "my fat [name body part]", since most of us feel like we need to lose weight over all.

My eyes are my favorite because they are green. I hate my back fat.

I love my long legs and hips. I don't care for the fact that my back and butt seem to be about the same in length, but I can hide most of that with clothing. :D

Although muscular, I think I have nice legs. While on days I may think they are too big, I wouldn't want the toothpick-type ones, either.

My hubby has always said I have a great behind. The guy at work keeps saying I don't have any left, so I'm not sure any more.

Least fav - my very broad back - will not likely change despite weight loss. Which probably means that clothing sizes on the top will unlikely change, either.

I like my eyes.
I also like my butt :-)

I hate my thighs and my "turkey arm", the stuff that hangs down....also known as bye bye arm.

I like my boobs, eyes, teeth and hair. Hate belly!

mssusthang Wed, May-19-04 14:06

I like my arms (always been thin and easiest to tone), my hair (have a ton of it, thick, and naturally curly ... get lots of compliments), my feet, my teeth, and my eyes.

I DO NOT like my belly and boobs. Pregnancy did a number on me.

To echo above, I like my boobs, face, teeth and hair. I have the exotic look. I hate my height and booty (when I am thin its JLO style- right now its shamu booty style)

strictgirl Wed, May-19-04 14:18

My legs are my favorite part. Now I ride horses hunt seat every day cross country jumping and do dressage work so my calves and thighs are really strong.

My least favorite part is my belly. It has tigher stripes in the skin from being so big.

Missie Wed, May-19-04 14:19

I'm with Milano and the Shamu booty...... afraid mine just won't go. My mother has it and so does my youngest DD. It's gonna be there. I hate it. Have always had trouble with pants since I was little. If they went over the butt, they won't fit the waist. I'll have alot of extra room that allows people to look down my pants at my crack if I don't wear a belt. Yuck

My eyes aren't bad- I think they're my favorite part.

i hate everything else

Sterlina Wed, May-19-04 14:53

Well, because Ive always been pretty muscular, my body has stayed fairly toned even at my highest..

The things I love the most about me...
My hair.. its down to my waist and well, I love it..
My eyes..
My legs, although bulkier than they used to be, theyre still not so bad..

What I HATE about me..
My Love handles... even at my thinnest (130) I had tiny ones.. and even though Im down 30lbs or whatever, they still keep me from being able to buy certain shirts in clothing stores because theyre just accentuated and ick, I hate them..

The insides of my thighs... they used to not touch.. AT ALL.. now of course they do..

The backs of my arms.. although my arms are toned, I still have the flabby back parts that I need to get rid of..

And double chin.. I only have it when I look down, but damn it, I hate that.. I want my face to be thin again.. :) (along with the rest of me!)

tcastro Wed, May-19-04 14:54

Hah, all of you are talking about the stuff you hate, then I click on your galleries and think you're all crazy :P

I'm beginning to like a lot about my body, including my legs, arms, face and chest. The only thing left that I don't like is my gut, but that will change over time.

I really like my face now, I've always been chubby and losing this weight has made me look like an entirely different person.

sqkitty Wed, May-19-04 15:11

I like my eyes, hair,face,boobs, and calves very well.
I really don't like my stomach and thighs. To fatty right now. Hopefully with a little more work I will say that I like all of me!

Hope you don't really mean that about hating everything else. There may be some things I don't like about my body, but I still love it. It's the only one I've got! BTW, by the looks of your profile, you are in great shape and don't need to lose any more weight!
