Today is the National Organization for Women (NOW)'s official Love Your Body Day!

OK, maybe this is a bit goofy, but I was thinking that it would be fun and positive to ask: what do you love about your body?

I love how, at the age of 37, I have more muscle definition than I've ever had in my life! :)
 
My legs - specifically my calves. They developed while I was a gymnast in high school. I hated them then as I was teased about their shape and size but now am so thankful. And not a varicose vein is site.
 
I have very nice, even, well proportion ears...that lie flat against my head. :)

This one is always so tough for me...

I guess I'd say my shoulders. I've worked hard to show my arms off in a tank top!!
 
Wow, this is tough!!

Definately NOT my abs :( (2 babies in late 30's)
Don't have much in the way of boobs :( (push up bra helps)
Still have a little back fat, bra hangover
So I'm gonna have to say my BUTT. It's small and quite toned thanks to Cathe. :D:D

I guess I kinda like my butt and my boobs. I work so freakin' hard on my butt and my ta-ta's are just the right size. ;) (In my opinion). :eek:
 
Gosh, I'm so hard on myself that this is tough for me also...

Let's see..I have really small wrists :rolleyes:

No but seriously I guess I would say that my arms are nice and toned :)
 
I have a nice rear view. My glutes are firm and round and a little like what's her name's.

I kind of like my eyes, too. One is blue and the other is hazel but it looks green.
 
Is it arrogant to say I like my entire body? It's certainly not perfect but the imperfections don't bother me anymore. Specifically I love my hair, arse, and triceps. :D

My green eyes. In fact, I have a really cool close up of my eye that has a redwood tree refelecting in it, if you look closely you can see it. Maybe I'll make that my avatar, if I ever get my act together. Funny enough, the reason the picture was taken was for a friend of ours who is an artist and was working on some King Kong model for a hotel in Vegas. My eye ended up being used as the eyes for this King Kong thing. :)

Not too much about my body I like....(too heavy) but if I really think about it, I like my calves. Very nice shape, when I lose weight its in the lower body first. I like the shape of my butt, its high and round BUT I do wish it was about 4" smaller ...the belly, well I won't even go there!

Not at all! :)

I keep hoping that one day I'll wake up, and all the imperfections will no longer matter. Of course, I can usually only last about 10 minutes of accepting them before The Worries creep back in . . . .;)
 
Boy, this is a tough one today. Ok, I like my facial bone structure, I have high cheekbones and a nice (if somewhat manly) square jawline that hopefully will hold up my skin as I age!:)

I am not into praising the rest of my body right now, sorry, I kinda like my calves, they are muscular but not too muscular and look great when I wear a heel.
 
I actually have pretty great legs. I was looking at them in a mirror this morning while I was doing 4DS LIS and wondered, "Why don't I like my legs? They look great!"

Thanks for this post, Leanne. It's so easy to focus on the negative, especially in terms of our appearance. I like the idea of saying what we like about ourselves out loud (well, you know what I mean!).

I love this! It's nice to go through and make a positive mental checklist instead of a negative one. :)

I like my shoulders (they are nice and defined), my leg muscles (caught a glimpse of my quads in downward dog and they look goooood) and my height (5'9"). I love being tall!
