So people...
having just caught up on some of today's threads (very funny, well done all of you, have a gold star and a mars bar) something caught my eye (I'm doing a lot of catching today...) about girls never liking their size.

So, my question is...

Boy or girl, man or woman, male or female, or in between: are you happy with your physical shape and size?
If you are which bit do you like best and why, if not what don't you like and would you consider doing anything to change it?

Thanks chickenlady
I know you didn't say that it's all down to me, but we know it's true, don't we?

I have ginormous, muscular legs, at my sister's wedding last year in my kilt I upstaged the proudest sportsmen there with my perfectly chiselled calves, but I've got skinny, girly wrists, and my hairiness is increasing year on year at an alarming rate. It used to be a minor inconvenience, with a bit of waxing the bum or shaving a shoulder, but now it's impossible to keep on top of it.

You have chosen a good self-moniker
And clearly you *are* quite monkey-like except for the skinny wrists - monkeys have thick wrists from all the swinging and climbing in trees.

Very perceptive. Well done.

What do I do about it though, chickenlady?
My arse has got it's own bouffant.

As another proper answer to your question, my Mrs says she wants a nose job. She certainly doesn't need one, how do I convince her of this?
(, Tue 27 Oct 2009, 12:35, Reply)
She won't listen to you
you can keep on telling her but she'll believe you're only saying it to make her feel better - that's the way it works.
Get other women to tell her she doesn't need it - she's more likely to listen to a fellow female because we're all intensely physically competitive.

Or maybe that's just me.

Okay, well, I would like to change my answer. I am comfortable with the way I look.
I may not be "happy" with the way I look sometimes, but in general I like the way I look. It may not conform to other peoples ideals of what's cute pretty or hot, in fact many people probably think I'm ugly but I couldn't give a fuck. I like me.

Speaking for myself
rather than anyone else as that wouldn't be entirely fair.
I tend to hate certain bits of me in a cyclical fashion - I hate my hair every so often and then love it again for a while. I always have a great dislike for my stomach as it's not flat and taut and it doesn't go in enough at the sides - I'd rather like a proper nipped in waist.
I also harbour a growing hatred of my right foot - I've developed a bunion on the outside edge which hurts and reminds me of my granny's feet.

I think it does
If I'd looked the way I do now when I was 19, I'd have topped myself or stopped eating altogether. I'd have considered myself a dumpy busty mess. In fact I considered myself that when I was 19 and a size 6 waist.
I'm now a size 10 and I show concern but I don't obsess. I like my figure. Sometimes it goes up to a (shock horror) 12. Why do we not appreciate ourselves when we're young?
I no longer yearn for the days when I was a size 6. I must have looked vile.

Aww I know exactly what you mean
I was accused of having an eating disorder lots when I was about 16, I was just really small, I still ate like a bastard. I refused anyone taking pictures of me too so I have no evidence of me from the age of 14-20, I must have looked too small if people thought I had a problem!

I do feel a lot more confident now.

Generally happy...
But I've put a few pounds on in the last couple of weeks. Really only a few, but because I have such a small frame, it shows. So I have increased the number of dimples in my thighs and bum and my tummy's slightly rounder.
It has also made my boobs bigger.

I have a ridiculously hairy back
and i am seriously thinking about enlisting my good lady to help shave it to fuck. It is now coming round the sides to meet the belly/chest hair and has crept upward to meet the fucking hair on my head, which means i cant wear any loose collared tops as the hair sprigs make me look like a hairy backed rapist.

Up until now i was not self conscious about it at all, but after going to the baths a few weeks back i noticed that not one, NOT ONE of the gentleman swimmers had a back like a fucking mountain gorilla. Then I was checking some pictures from about 10 years ago and there I was, my back was completely hairless, and i must admit it did look better.

So, should i pay a load of money to get it waxed, clipper it down then shave it, or let it take over my whole body. Like a big, hairy body minge.

From experience
My advice

Wax: too painful, but you get to do it less often every time
Shave: no pain, but you end up having to do it every day
Laser: a bit of pain, but not much (not the one by one hair thing, the laser) and you end up not having to do it at all after a while (might take 1 or 2 years to get it all gone, with a session every 3 months at the beginning and less often every time)
