Title: What do you like about your body?
Post by: mandonlym on March 07, 2014, 04:04:59 PM
I'm on this kick of trying to introduce more cheerful topics to this board. So we talk at length about the parts of our body we dislike, but what about those that we do like? I'd love to hear what parts of your body you like and why.

For me I like my lips, 'cause they're pretty full. And I like my cheekbones because they're high. I also like that I have small hands and feet and a narrow waist.

What about you?

small hands, facial structure, hair, breasts and fingers.

I like that my eyes got bigger and look greener on HRT, and my feet and hands/wrists got smaller. I've always loved my hair - even pre-transition I wore it long, and it's so thick.

I had loathed my dimples most of my life, now they are my favorite attribute. I guess they probably were always one of them, but I had to front at their expense. Bad Toni!

I like my eyes and my legs. I think once I shed some more pounds off my waist then I like my butt too.

Probably more my mind. My brain has a cool ability to take in and process massive amounts of math and science. on hrt i expect to see my body change and feel better about myself.in 3 to 4 months ill like my hair because itll be long and beautiful. Plus ill have lost some weight. so ill just wait and slim down. grow out my hair. get on hrt.

Legs, hair, butt, nails, boobs, hair growing back and this has also created.... a real, true, happy smile in the face in the mirror which is now 20 years younger.....  :)

Nothing. :'(

(Maybe I can come up with something once I actually get to start HRT and/or my positivity comes back)

Yea SatinJoy I forgot about my hair coming back in thicker and growing like a weed which does put a certain smile on your face and make you look younger. Thanks for reminding me about that one.

Keep 'em coming lovely women! I forgot that I like my hair too. It comes out of my head blonde and straight and I'm regularly asked where I get it colored. :)

My... eyebrows, which are well defined with a good shape.
Apart from that, I would say nothing. My body has quite some perks for transitioning, at least I think, but, well...

Hmm, I guess I like my hair and my eyes.  That would have to be my favorite features.
Title: Re: What do you like about your body?

My hazel eyes, my long legs, and my lack of conspicuous body hair.

I like my eyes, they are looking bigger now on HRT and I am loving the way they are!

Actually I would love to have light blue eyes like my mother, but I am happy with my brown eyes too! As I can wear contact lenses, color is not a problem  ;D
Title: Re: What do you like about your body?
Post by: alabamagirl on March 08, 2014, 03:34:17 PM
My eyebrows are my best feature, IMO. They have such a nice arch to them. Probably the only feature I have that I would not alter in any way.

Hmm... Oh, and I like how small my wrists are, too. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head. I think those are the only features I sometimes find myself admiring and feeling better about, when the rest is depressing me.

That has to be the cutest euphemism for breasts I've ever heard.

Ive always been complimented on my eyes, and consider them my best feature.

I love my hair though aswell, long and straight, and have no intention of cutting it anytime soon.

Two things... my lips, and my curves!

The lips are the key to my entire face looking feminine, because they help offset the brow bossing, the nose bump, and the big chin.

And the curves... I love them SO much! I've always wished that I could have a body shape to actually show off, and now I do! I give myself a big hug across the chest almost every night, and I'm like "ahhhh... boobs... yay! So comfy..." (*^ᴗ^*)

Does this count?  I think they are curves, maybe, or my eyes deceive me.  :-X
Basically pre-everything due to my jacked up inbetweeny hormonal situation right now.  I've always been like this. <_<  Maybe they are just boy curves.  They are nice anyway, or so I tell myself...

Although I did used to have that thigh gap thing, it's kinda gone as of this winter.  I guess I don't rightly give much of a ->-bleeped-<- myself, but I know that "thigh gap" is the envy of many cisgirls, so y'know, it'd be ironic to suppose that I had them beat at their own game.

Provided I can get back into the hair maintenance thing, I'm thinking I can probably get away with a bikini this summer maybe. Yes? ...No? Don't answer that. :-\

Yes, of course you can get away with the bikini!  Every time I go to the beach there's plenty of (I assume) cisgirls who cannot and should not ever go there.  I wish I could, but umm, too many surgical scars and other things I would never subject the world to.

I've been beaten to this answer, although I would've phrased it more along the lines of "Well, I like that I'm not a zombie."  ;D

I like every effing thing about my body. I'll change some parts of it but it's *MY* lovely body. It's the body that I use to play derby, have sex, do work, dance, love, and feel awesome.

It's also really effing hot so, that helps.

Ha ha, I know right? I used to be a super-active dancer and I gained 15 pounds after I stopped training. I've only recently figured out that I can't stuff my face like I did before to have enough energy for dance class so I've been steadily losing the weight and feel more like my old self. And yeah, hot bods are fun. ;)

That one day soon, a whole lot of worms are gonna be really well fed. And the li'l worm kiddies won't be all "Mom! I'm hungry! Pleeease can we have something to eat?" And the mother will be like "Okay, kids, I have a real treat for you today. SPARE RIBS!" Then the kids will be all like "Hey, look at me! I put this foot in my mouth! Good thing it wasn't mine, I might have looked really dumb then. But... oh, wait, I don't have feet. Forget I said anything!"

In fact, I envision a big party, with a barbeque and tequila, wherein Uncle Rodriguez will be swimming merrily having fallen in, again... by "accident". And there'll be a piñata. Pink, and blue. Filled with all sorts of goodies.

And... uh... it holds my brain.

Other than that... yeaaaah...

I love every part of my body including the flat chest. I hate wrinkles in my face and some specs in my body skin. I am a Narcissist.

I must be one of the few who's lucky with the shoe size. I have 37 in EU size, 6.5 in female US size.

Also, my asian eyes. I find that asian eyes are more atractive.

I've actually lost quite a bit of weight in the last couple months and I'm starting to be okay with my body.  I still feel like my shoulders/chest are a little wide compared to my hips and I need to lose a little bit more belly fat, but I'm happy that I'm at a point that I can let people see my body again.

And you're looking very nice as well, Mandonlym
