For me, it's my lips. They're full, luscious and look like Marilyn Monroe's. I wouldn't trade them for a furnace burning metabolism where I could eat all the refined carbs I want.

Off of the superficial level; in my circle of friends, I'm noted for having a good sense of humor.

i love that fact that in a physical sense, i'm very strong and muscular. That has helped me to be a caregiver to the elderly and i feel very satisfied that i can give something back to those who have passed the baton of changing the world to a younger generation...

I thought that was very beautiful!!! Sorry for the gushing, but I hope and heaven forbid, if I ever have to put my parents in a home (only if they are in a truly debilitating state, like alzheimers), that they have staff on hand like you!!

Self love is not my strong card.

I get to self worth through gratitude
for all that I have, (eyes, ears...
I can walk and talk and am fit
enough to ride my bicycle and
have fun doing it. I am grateful
for having found a way to recover
from the plight of obesity and inactivity.
And I am grateful for all the material blessings
I have and the life I lead now.

I am at heart, a conceited little prick
with a massive inferiority complex, and
at times a bad attitude, quick to judge and
a long memory for those that offend me; but
through gratitude, service to others and
a wide circle of friends I am kept humble
friendly, helping and appreciative most of the time.

I absolutely love that I have kept wonderful friends! Through all of lifes challenges, I've managed to weed out those that are toxic and have ended up with friends who I would fight for and who would fight for me!

Physically, I've learned to love my red hair (which was never the case before!) and my smile. When I am truly happy, my smile makes me feel proud.

What I love about me is that I am a warm person, often times when I am just out shopping ppl are constantly drawn to me/(I to them also)we have a moment or 2 or half in hour coffee and we are hugging exchanging e-mails friends for life...all sorts of ppl too!!!
I have stiffled my power because it matched my body!
too much to deal with (overwhelming)at times
Ive made a conscious decision many years ago to make changes, within...... weight & why I held on to it is a piece not
Not!! all of me anymore
I love my eyes
I love my strength
I love the compassion that runs through me... if I go on and on you guys will think Iam stuck up and concieted!!!
i came from feeling absolutly worthless
and found my fractured self
amoungst a mess
have done alllloootttt of work within
and I feel no longer the victim
of my childhood
the "unwelcomed, abused,neglected child in me
has embrassed herself!
loved and healed herself (WITH LOTSA HELP HERE AND ABOVE
and I still learn everyday, by no means am I done....but I've come a loooong way
and I shine brightly because I just am a beautiful big spirit in a big body

I love that I am a great judge of character. I can pretty much immediately assess any situation and person and come up with a pretty spot on picture. Alot of people are afraid of being perceived as judgemental - I on the other hand feel it is a gift.

I also love that I am able to admit when I am wrong about things.

I love that I have alot of love, and creativity, and apreciation of the beauty in what is around me (most of the time ), and I love getting my chest beack after losing it on Weight Watchers. I love the part of me that won't let anyone else tell me what to wear or think or say or do, that keeps me tue to myself.

Oh and I love my body for working so well, even when I don't do the right thing out of ignorance or other flaw

I love this thread too.

I love my brain. My trademarks amongst my circle of friends have always been--since elementary school--a silver tongue and quick wit. I excelled at top levels in high school, college, and graduate school. I grasp things easily, especially if they coincide with language arts and infrastructure.

On my body, I like my face and the curve of the small of my back. I also like that I am strong due to weight lifting, and can wreck havoc on anyone is most types of endurance sports. This is not because I am an award-winning athlete, but because my inner core will NOT allow me to fail or quit.

What a unique thread!

Default hmmm...

What I love about me is my tendency to look for the good in people first. I have an overflowing cup of compassion for people in general.

I also love that I question authority. I refuse to be a lemming.

What I love about my body....
~that it is able to become what I want it to be.
~I have great boobs.
~I am really, really pale skinned and I am defying society's desire to tan. I will NOT spray paint my skin (I don't look good as a carrot).


LOVE to LOVE.

(right now I would love some cake).

I like how close I am with my grandchildren they all want to come be with me... I like how I can make them feel like they are the most important person in the world... I can see it on their face and they are all getting big now two are teens. And they still like being with me they call in the middle of the week to come be with me on their free time. And what I like about my appearance is my waist it is small...and I have always liked my little feet size six. I like to say thanks this was fun! Hadn't give it all much thought.

Okay, I've let go of some negative feelings on another post, now I'm going to think of positive things. Something I love about myself and that I'm proud of is that I'm a good mommy and a good wife. I'm also a good listener, most of the time I don't have a lot of good advice but I'm always there to listen and people have really liked that about me.
