It took me 23 years to finally like my body. I remember back when I was 8 years old I thought I was fat and grew up believing it. I am 35 now and I finally realized after looking through family photos dated through out my whole life from baby to now, I was never fat. No one ever told me I was fat, and I used to get a lot of compliments, but I always thought people were making fun of me, or they were just trying to be nice.
I don't know what made me have such a low self esteem my whole life. But looking back at all of the pictures of me, I was a cute kid and I have the girl next door look now. It has changed my life completely. I think I have an average body and I am happy with the way it looks.

We all have things we might like to change, chest size, hips, thighs, etc...
I would have to say overall, I like my body. I am not too fat, not too thin, it puts up with what I throw at it (I am junk food junkie) and it doesn't complain. Yes, I know, my body is a separate entity than me- haha.
When I see people in magazines, I don't compare myself to them because I do not count that as a standard of beauty so it doesn't give me a chance to feel bad about anything that might not fit in the fake world on the pages.
When I get down to it, I love my body. Anything I would want to change (e.g. more muscle tone or being stronger) is more my own darn fault for not having the mental will to exercise but it's not my body's fault. So my body's A-ok with me.

I don't always like my body, but I do love it. For over four decades mine has proven itself to be a fairly efficiently operating and decently organized container for storage and transportation of vital organs. It's seen me through numerous activities and misadventures, and it's not even near ready to assume the role of merely sedentary consumer. However, if I'd known I was going to live even this long, I'd have treated my body with a little more caution, care and responsibility.

Yes and No - I was picked on when I was young for being so skinny. And even when I was 21-23 people still told me to gain weight. Finally after my 2nd child I have gained about 20 lbs and everyone says I look way better than I ever have. But sometimes I think i'm fat and sometimes I think I look good.

Not really. I never lost the weight I gained from having a baby, but I am trying hard to change that. I don't necessarily hate it, but I need to lose about 20 lbs and tone up a bit.

Yes, I do!
I used to dislike it because I thought I was too thin, then I gained weight and thought I was too fat (because I went my entire life being really really thin and all of a sudden I had boobs) and now I LOVE my body. I've toned up but I still have my boobs/butt. I love my body!

I must say that I do. I am a size 12 but I feel very confident. I am tall as well and keep my hour glass in good shape.
