My Body Gallery
http://www.mybodygallery.com/
I was playing around on MyFitnessPal and stumbled across this site. For anyone who hasn't seen it, it's a collection of photos of women of all shapes and sizes. I sort of love it. I feel so much more "normal" in terms of my size and it's nice to see women embracing their beauty.
What's your favorite part of your body? Would you change anything if you could?

Re: My Body Gallery
The only thing I would really change is that I'm one of those genetically "blessed" women that has cellulite no matter what I weigh. So I wouldn't mind kicking that to the curb.
Everything the light touches is my kingdom.
ETA: I just realized box kitty is back! so cute

But I hear you on the back problems. I'm taking a week off work to help my sister when she gets her reduction. She was "overly blessed" like you!

I like my lips, eyes and hair (on the rare occasions that it's done). I'm also told I have nice cheekbones, but I I don't really know what that means.
I pretty much hate everything else, but that has everything to do with my weight at the moment. I am back on Weight Watchers and actually seem to be sticking with it this time, so hopefully that will change in a few months.

Celles, do you do WW online or go to meetings? I seriously considered doing it online but decided to just track my calories on My Fitness Pal because without meetings/someone to hold me accountable, I think I'd fail :(

<div>Barbie's measurements in real life would be almost impossible. She'd look like some of those pictures of extreme corsetting. Don't get me wrong, I like my boobs, but big boobs aren't always a good thing. I get leered at by creepy men so often that I wear baggy shirts most of the time, especially at work. I'm an Assistant manager, and it's hard asserting authority to difficult male customers if they are staring at my chest all the time I try to talk to them.</div>

[QUOTE]Wow. That's amazing. I look in the mirror and I see a fat blob, but the women on the site that are my weight and hieght look normal. It really does show how off my perception about my body is.

Yep! Same here! You'd think we're looking into one of those funhouse mirrors or something!

</div><div>I feel bad complaining about my boobs. I generally have a pretty good body image, it's just one of those things.

That shiit pisses me off. I've been followed in stores countless times and hooted and hollered at. And the thing, is the guys act like we should be so privaledged(sp?) to have them treating us like meat. Gross!
ETA: I don't really see you as complaining due to body image. More like you've been subjected AND big boobs do make certain activities a lot harder to do and can really cause a lot of back pain. I totally hear you on that!

I hate my thighs. I hold most of my fat in my thighs and nothing works to make them not touch or not have cellulite. Even in high school when I was riding horses 10 hours a week, running 6 miles a day, doing Tae Kwon Do, lifeguarding (so swimming 1 hour a day), and running cross country.

They don't have my body type in their records
Guess I'm a freak
I'm 5'8" and 120 lbs
That's NORMAL

[QUOTE]I love that site...I feel way better about myself. I love my legs...they are very muscular, which I don't love BUT <strong>I have no cellulite</strong> at all and when I work at it a bit, I have no fat on my legs at all. I hate my midsection. That is where I carry my weight...like the lovehandle and belly area. For me, that area requires a whole lot more work...I more or less have to have very low body fat for it to look lean...which is difficult for me to do.

I'm jealous! For me, I hate my arms. I think they make me look way bigger than I actually am.

Thanks SEWF. I don't see it, but I do appreciate you saying it.

Sherr -- I do Weight Watchers Online, but I use the word "do" loosely because this is only Day #3 back on the program. I did it successfully a few years ago and lost 50 lbs. in about six months. It works if you can make it stick! Unfortunately, I didn't, so over the course of two years I gained everything I had lost and then some. And I didn't have the motivation to try again until very recently. (Anna deserves 100% of the credit for inspiring me, too! Thank you Anna.

[QUOTE]Pretty cool. I'm still not any happier with my body though after looking at it. Oh, well. I hate my stomach. Even when I only weighed 100 lbs I still had a small tummy. I don't have bad cellulite on my thighs, but it's definitely there. I do really like my smile. I also love my boobs. They can be a major pain in the ass (32E) but there are very nicely shaped and everything.

wowzers!! Those are some big boobies! OOTB, didn't you have WAY more posts at one point? Is that a TK screw up or have I completely lost it?

[QUOTE]They are indeed some big boobies. Genetically I had no chance of small boobs. Every woman on both sides of the family has big boobs. I think you may have completely lost it though. I just started posting fairly recently. No glitch.

[QUOTE]That site is great. Thanks for sharing. My butt is my favorite part of my body. Haha. It is pretty big for my waist size, and I always have trouble finding pants, but when I'm rocking the right outfit it's pretty sexy. FI likes it too.

Uhh, your ass is smokin hot. I do realize I sound like a total perv but when you posted pics in your dress I was like DAAAYYYYYYMMMMM! LOL
