Hello ladies,

This week's health education topic is learning to feel comfortable with your own body.

Here are some ideas:
1. make a list of your favourite 5 features of your body
2. Women's bodies are wonderful and can do wonderful things
3. Look in the mirror naked and tell yourself you're wonderful
4. Get past the idea that vaginas are yucky. They are amazing and self-cleaning. Let's not give into the idea that we need to douch or do anything to 'eliminate odour'. Vaginas are fabulous!!!!!! :yes:

Hehe...New and Improved! Self-cleaning, practical, reliable, and dependable!

Ummm...
Real women have hips for quality child-bearing and the like ;)
Thighs may be unproportionally large in able to properly lift child which said hips enable you to bear.

Okay, I'll be more serious :p
Things I like about myself
1. my strong, man-beating arms ;)
2. my legs that let me run like the wind!
ETA:
3. My neck is all long and nifty...I used to hate it, but now I like it!
4. my wrists are all dainty and perfect for bracelets
5. I like my feet, even though they have scars all over them. They're smooth !

Overall, I guess my body's pretty functionable, which I like. Gets me where I need to go and does what it needs to do :)

Five things I like about myself? Alrighty-

- my hair! it's super straight, does what I want it to and is silky soft after washing
- my eyes, they're dark brown and mysterious. plus they're perfect for giving sad puppy eyes
- my lips- they look best with chapstick and nothing else
- my boobs! they've gone from too big to too small to the perfect size. They look especially good in a skimpy bikini top ;)
- my long torso- I may not be the thinnest girl in the world, but because I'm 5'9" tall my torso is really long, helping me look leaner than I am. It can be a double edged sword because I have a hard time finding shirts that fit right, but at least I look fairly good in a bikini, lol.

got the same problem with pants. my torso is like 1/4th of my leg length. its impossible to find anything in right length with the right waist and vice versa. but i adore my long legs anyway.

1. my hair, only because it's a fun canvas for pretty colors
2. my bubble-butt, which i never used to like but now think is cute
3. my collarbone. no kidding. i have a thing for collarbones- when i draw, that is totally my favorite part of people
4. my hands. i'm a poet by trade.
5. my (can i say this here?) well, my cl1t. the only organ on the body that exists purely for the purpose of sexual pleasure! :trick:

Good idea, considering a lot of us here suffer/have suffered from EDs.

1. My hair - It's one of my absolute favourite parts of my body :) It's long, shiny, and red. It's still nice, despite all the crap I've done to myself.

2. My lips - They're full, and I don't need to wear lipstick to make 'em look nice. Just my cheap vegan lip balm, and they look great.

3. My eyes - they're sort of a cool colour... bluish grey.

4. My neck/collar - I have a slender long neck/collar.

5. My skin - I have clear skin - I rarely get zits, and I don't think I've ever gotten a blackhead. Plus I have freckles. (I'm a redhead... I <3 my sunscreen :p)

ETA - I'll have to take some pics of me in my "OMG!!!!111ONE I'm a haaaawwt sex kitten dress".

umm I have to list 5 whole things? That's all?! :)
- my hair. I've been told it's an unusual colour, because it is kind of brown but kind of red. It usually looks brown, but if I'm out in the sun people ask me if I dyed my hair red. It's also the perfect thickness and is not too curly and not too straight.
- my lips. they're already full, so I don't need lipstick for them to look good...but I like using it to make them look even better, heh
- my back. it's really sexy apparantly, and I've built it up now so that it is strong and muscular
- my BUM!! :moonpie: hehe
- and my legs. I have no idea if they are 'sexy' or not, but they're strong and get me around.

But I still think vaginas are gross. *shudders*

Let's see...
1. My eyes -- they are big and hazel and pretty :)
2. My nose -- it's a good nose.
3. My fingers -- long and slender with pretty fingernails with half-moons
4. My hips -- they are pretty big but they work with me
5. My hair -- it's dark and soft and silky; very easy to work with

That made me feel good. :D

1. hair - reddish blonde, soft, shiny and straight
2. belly - a bit of a cute curve on it
3. bum - same again : decent curve for someone a bit too skinny generally
4. shoulders - narrow, no hard edges, nice skin. I look well in string vests.
5. breasts - these shouldn't be in the top five but I've only recently started to appreciate them (before I was paranoid because they are very small) so they have a novelty value.

1. My eyes. They are a funny color and always look sparkly.
2. My hands.. I don't know why. I think they're cute.
3. BOOBIES! I wouldn't change them for the world (except maybe when running for the bus)
4. My bum. It is big, it has cellulite. It wobbles. In short, it is perfect :)
5. My ankles. Considering my rugby-player type stature they are quite dainty

1-My Eyes- which are a lovely shade of green

2- My Height-because I never have to ask anyone to reach something for me!

3- My Breast- Because thanks to foreplay they enhance sexual pleasure for myself and my husband. ( I can't believe I'm feeling brave enough to post that!)

4-My Feet- They look great in sandals!

5-My Mind- Because in spite of how things may appear on the outside no one really knows whats going on in there! :sign:

I have strong muscles that helped flatten the ground for my drama teachers' pool and helped take care of their 4 year old :p

1) My waist. Sweet and petit.

2) My eyes. Almonded shaped with curly lashes.

3) My athletic body type. Lithe, strong yet feminine.

4) My feet. Actually they are wide and ugly. I hated them when I was a kid, but I appreciate them now. They look cute when painted. They have no corns or crust on them. Need I say more?

5) My skin. Naturally tanned- enough said!
