"I worry about asking ppl to seek out the bits about themselves they don't like it are uncomfortable with, even if the intent is well placed. They still wont like them tomorrow and they'll still wear big pants etc, they'll just have shown their arse publicly and they'll be thinking "but I've got cracking in tits though". I'd rather celebrate the things that make a person truly happy tbh, body image isn't one of them for me, I'd start with the mind and the thought processes, outlook and values, innit.....

"So many levels to any reply I could give and I have a meeting at three so I'll bugger off now and leave you with it. However, what I do see in reality here is ppl who actually already ARE confident and happy and who would generally be termed beautiful showing their bits and receiving lots of praise, while those who aren't so confident sink further, as so often happens on the forum......  | |||

"Hmm, see I genuinely do think threads like this and seeing more parts of real bodies everywhere does make a difference to how you view yourself. I'm not saying my thread is going to cure people and suddenly they will love the bits they hate, but one tiny step at a time and seeing so much positivity for normal parts of our bodies that people are often shamed for is only a good thing. I know in ways I have started to accept myself more since unfollowing unrealistic body image accounts and starting to follow more accounts that embrace the parts society looks down on. I've had several messages from people because of this thread saying they do feel better for just getting their bits out they usually hide away. My body definitely plays a part in my happiness. And if I can learn to love and accept my body and show the 'imperfect' bits that will make my mind happier and healthier. If you need to take a photo and stick your gut out to show Fab something you're not comfortable with then it sounds to me like you're very fortunate. I hope that makes sense. X | |||

"One issue I've found with trying to accept bits of myself I don't like is that I'm noticing and finding more and more which I don't like. Thankfully though a few of them I have the power to change if I can turn the negative in to motivation. " Hopefully all those bits can be viewed as likeable to you by you. And if the motivation for change brings you joy then that also can be embraced. Be kind to yourself x | |||

"This time last year I went through a whole journey of re-learning to accept, enjoy and celebrate my body and myself as I am. I took this photo (now showing as my profile pic for today promoted by this thread) to show my body as it is. When sat down, breasts which slump and droop down, torso and belly which smush and have layers. The process was revealing in terms of vulnerability but them oh so empowering. This is me. No hiding "I love love love this. I genuinely find that vulnerability so inspiring. You look fantastic!! | |||

"Thanks for this fabulous thread LBC, I think you are one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. I don’t like my stomach and chest and have worked hard to get it looking as it does now. I have also been very aware of my penis size. I have always thought that it was smaller and thinner than average but having read various posts it appears that I have the average penis. " Thank you! I've checked out your photos and there is not a fault in site and your penis is absolutely fine. I'm happy to see so many men joining in this challenge too. | |||
It kinda felt good to own the only part of me I’ve hated for years. Kinda like a “fuck you” to my body doubts.
I hope it felt the same for a lot of you | |||
