I've spent years hating certain parts of my body (like a lot of women), but I've finally accepted the way I am and love every inch of myself (not that I'm ugly because I've been told I'm very attractive). Who else has reached their 30's and finally found peace within?

John E - I'm sorry you are a victim of bullying but you must stand up to them, tell your parents and a teacher at school you can confide in. Bullies are often insecure themselves so rise above it and don't let them get you down no matter how much it hurts. You may feel unhappy about yourself now but you're only young and your body is changing all the time. I was bullied too so I know how you feel. Then I became a model in my twenties. Had the "ugly duck" turned "swan" syndrome! You will be comfortable with yourself one day and I hope you take this advice and tell them you don't care what they say - you are one cool dude!

I'm 28 so nearly 30, i only just started to accept the stuff i dont like about myself, you get told you are beautiful and have a nice personality you tell yourself 'they are just saying it ' thing. but now i do (most of the time) listen and try to be happy with myself, and i think i am getting there. Must be the 30 thing :o)

When I was younger (Im 30) yes, I do worry about my looks but as I get older (late twenties & now at 30) I have a lot to thank for that I begun to appreciate myself in every way.....not just in physical beauty.....maybe because Im more mature and that I have things and people with me that a lot of other people don't have or have not found yet..........yes, Im happy with myself, with my family, with the love of my life, with the material things I have...and I thank God for all of it..................
p.s.
I don't live a perfect life:I work 5 days a week, I have a loan, Im stick thin & my lover is not a millionaire............but I just learned to accept everything I have & be happy with it.

Dear ooh betty!!!! in reply to your comment about my problem with nuisance dog barking, I would just like to point out that i not only have a house and 2 kids to look after but i also work full time in a stressfull job, and part time teaching adult literacy and numeracy, therefore, on the few occasions that i do get the chance to sleep beyond 7am, I expect to be able to do just that!!!!!!! No one, not even dogs have the right to disturb anyone sleeping!!!! so GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE!!!!!!!!! try living with a constant barking dog, oops!!!!!!!! actually 5 dogs, in case you missed that bit!!!! and then once you have actually been in my situation are you in a position to be so blatant and rude. I asked for genuine help so, therefore did not deserve the " who cares" answer you gave!!!!!!!!!!!!

well I'm 17
and im perfectly happy with the way i am.
i have hated my body all of my life
and i realized just this last year
that my body is so perfect how it is
and if people dont like it,
they dont have to,
because all that matters is that i like it.
the only reason i hated my body is because it didn't look like a barbie doll.
i mean i dont have huge or hips
but i look perfect in the eyes of my boyfriend,
and his opinion counts the most, besides mine.
i think after a bit of time hating yourself and your body parts
you realize that your perfect
even if your not anorexic-ly thin
or you don't have double D's.
thank you for encouraging other women to love their bodies as much as you do.
