How do you feel towards your body?

I've been mad at mine a long time. I think I'm going to start being much nicer. Yes it's just a meat bag I take care of to live, but it's my home for now and it couldn't hurt to respect it in a complete way.

Presently? Not great.

I lost a BUNCH of weight from 2017-2020 via fasting and exercise and for the first time in my adulthood didn't hate my body, actually for the first time in life felt attractive which motivated me to keep making good choices.

In 2022 I had a couple foot surgeries back to back. I wasnt able to walk for a few months and then many months of slow progress rehab. With the pain meds/vitamins I couldnt fast and ended up putting half of what I lost back on.

In Dec 2023 I almost died from Influenza, was hospitalized/bed ridden for a week then on steroids which gave me more weight. Midsummer 2024 I had another bad respiratory illness with more steroids and more weight.

I'm mad at my body and myself for my poor choices, and just can't muster the same drive, discipline or healthy body/mindset I did back in 2017.

It’s a vessel I’m grateful for, some don’t get to live in theirs long.

What’s inside matters the most, your true essence ✨

The world teaches us to hate it, ignore the world, we all need to be kinder to ourselves.
Beautifully said 🌹 @Achelois

As of late I've become more conscious of what I put into it. No more weed and nothin' but water on the liquid side...all bout' progress not perfection.

I used to hate it, and I'm still not 100% happy with it, but I'm exhausted from all the emotional investment into my looks/weight.

I am who I am. If someone doesn't like it, they're free to walk away.

Irritates me a lot, but I’m still grateful for it. I don’t forget watching mom’s betray her until she was trapped in a silent dysfunctional shell.

Pretty much the same.
It’s got through a lot intact and I’m so grateful so I treat it with resigned love
I like it. I’ve worked hard to get closer to my goal weight. I drink too much wine though

I’m meh about it. I love it only because my boyfriend loves it. If it wasn’t for him I’d be more insecure than I am now.
If you don't like the feel of your body, I'll feel it for you ;)

Seriously. My body feels older than it should, broken bones, bad posture, various internal issues...I hope it'll last me a few more years at least. My bucket list isn't complete.

I'm not complaining about what I have, as a matter of fact, I try to better it little by little each and every day...mostly

Well... we're best friends, but whenever we're together she can't keep her hands off me.

One of us is.

@GuiltyBiStander The other is a selfless giver! Benevolence gushing out 😉
@GuiltyBiStander understandable. I'd probably feel the same way about your body ;)
I judge it too harshly and in that way I guess I don't treat it well
Honest answer - I don’t know, I’m too busy concentrating on other aspects of my life to take vanity too seriously.

I wake up take a hot shower ,brush my teeth , dry me hair .. put my favourite lipstick on and bugger off usually lol 💃🏻
seldom with the compassion, kindness and empathy that she deserves.

I wish I had the 1969 version back. Or even 1975's.

I wish I could be kinder to it

Good actually
Been working to start training for half marathons

A weird mixture of awe and resentment
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@SwampFlower I mean, you created life inside you, which is so crazy. Do you want another body after this one? If you could be anything... Or no body would be rad.
SwampFlower · 31-35, F
@ScreamingFox right the fact I created life in THIS body is wild.

Idk if I would want another one. Gotta see the alternatives first haha

I am not kind to my body.

It is what it is. Not attractive dad-bod figure and smallish 'thing' that isn't appealing to anyone.
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
Better actually.
I've gone from morbidly obese in 2020 to mildly chubby at best.

I could be nicer.
Degbeme · 70-79, M

Indifferent, which is both better and worst than it probably sounds
