For me it's the stomach that blows up and down with huge differences each day, or through out the day. Or my thighs that never seem to shrink, tone or tighten despite using the stairs everyday. Or my lack of a defined chin which means I have to smile a certain way to avoid the double chin.
But you also learn to work the parts that are most flattering or that you feel comfortable with. For me it's my waist and legs from the knees down.
What I realised is the list of flaws is always longer than the list of workable body parts. And that is what's wrong with us; cons always out way the pros.
While trawling Pinterest one sleepless morning I saw a list of things to make you a better person. Generally I hate those things because it is about letting go past hurts, thinking happy thoughts, hippie, blah, blah. Now that works for some people, but my mind is to go-go-go and practical for that sort of thing.
But one thing caught my interest - list 10 things you like about yourself that have nothing to go with your weight or what you look like.
I love lists but this was tough. I instantly started listing things others have said I am. But that's their perception and not really what I think I'm like.
Some say I'm relaxed. I actually think it's because I'm flexible and adaptable.
Some say I'm strong or bitchy. I actually think I'm practical.
1: I'm flexible and adaptable.
2: I'm reliable and always do what I say I'll do.
3: I've learnt to laugh rather than cry.
4: I love to cook and think I'm pretty good at it.
5: I'm adventurous; I'll always try something new before saying no.
6: I can generally see both sides of the story and hope my advice is objective because of it.
7: I'm a good story teller.
8: I can handle more stress than others.
9: I've learnt to see the bigger picture and not get caught up in the small stuff.
10: That my mind never stops; it's always ticking, ticking, ticking.
