First off, my thighs are really chubby, but it just means my dog's big old head can fit on it!

I've been a bit…rotund ever since I was young. I was also pretty short for my age, so it gave me the appearance of being fatter than I really was. However, as soon as I got into high school, I hit a huge growth spurt. Freshman year I was 5'5", and now, as a junior, I'm 6'1". All that weight evened out through my body and now I feel great about myself.

That's awesome!
My dog just fell asleep on my lap

I'm 5ft and not exactly the "skinniest" per se but i'm glad that my most of my weight give me that "soft and baby-ish" appearance

My thighs touch but you know what? So did Marilyn Monroe‘s!!!!

My chub gives me a more feminine look, which makes me mad, but it makes my face look masculine

I'm short but not skinny and sometimes I feel like my body looks super disproportionate but that's just because all mirrors are clowny trick mirrors

My eyes may not be good at seeing but they look pretty!

My thighs are kinda jiggly and last night I was wearing shorts for dance and I went around gently slaping them to watch The Jiggle

I can't 🤣🤣

My thighs are big but that means that my cat can sit on my lap without falling off.

I discovered I had stretch marks a few weeks ago andy friend was like wtf because I kept looking at them in the mirror of the H&M fitting room like an excited 7year old (I know. Weird.)

They look cool!

I know right!

They’re just so gorgeous

It's like lightning!

Like Tiger Stripes! I've learned to love them.

My body and I have had…rough moments in our relationship, but as of now I can proudly say that showering/changing/standing in front of a mirror no longer give me anxiety–in fact I feel quite content with my appearance despite its imperfections XD

That's awesome!

I get big dysphoria while looking at my body and hips and stuff, but now I'm at least comfortable enough to shower without the lights off!

That's great! I think baby steps are the way to go when it comes to improving your self-image ^^ Keep it up!

Yeah, I still can't look at my main body and torso, but I can look at my arms now!

Have you tried showering in a towel? I've heard that can help with dysphoria and for the love of Henry Clerval, please be careful and don't fall…

I'm conflicted. I have to wear an undershirt that shows off my middrift and I don't knkw how to feel.
I hate my stomach and the fact that it is squishy and has rolls when I bend. However, this digust has been motivating me to work out more, which is making me feel better.

"Is your stomach squishy? Good! It has fucking organs in it!" - No idea where this is from.

"Is your stomach squishy? Good! It has fucking organs in it!" - No idea where this is from.

That's… actually really comforting?

I know, it's weirdly agresseve but also nice.
