I wear alllll my emotions on my face without realizing and I am overall very expressive. I cringe when I see pictures and videos of myself.</p> <p>I am overweight and my stomach is huge. I look pregnant and it makes me very self conscious. I am always afraid people will ask me when I am due and I will be mortified. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399599 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 10:12:21 +0000 littlebug 2399599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Eesh! My comments don't go that far! What the hell, people!??! But yes, with Daxon I swear I never felt better about myself...up until the end when the comments were so hurtful. Not so much with Babygirl, but I just don't feel as "good" this time around, either, so I think that's part of the problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399596 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 10:08:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2399596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: it's funny because I actually feel really beautiful when pregnant but then the stupid peanut gallery comments just being me down. I really love when the comments turn from how big my belly is to "OMG your poor vagina" ....um yeah I don't need to go into detail about why I can't have vaginal births. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399587 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 10:03:07 +0000 Anya 2399587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking young. I'm sure I'll appreciate it in a few decades but I don't enjoy being mistaken for 19. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399575 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 09:52:07 +0000 Meow 2399575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.KMM: I wax it myself using Nads facial strips. $3.99 or $4.99 a box depending on the store, but almost all drug stores carry them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399520 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 08:19:40 +0000 littlebug 2399520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I'm constantly getting "Oh my gosh, there is NO WAY you're making it do your due date!" </p> <p>So right now it's just my pregnant body that I'm self-conscious about, because people just cannot stop commenting on how big I am. But in general, when not pregnant, it's my love handles and back fat. Ugh. Back fat. So so so hard to get rid of. And so gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399446 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 02:00:56 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2399446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to think of it as self aware. ;)</p> <p>My big legs/thighs.<br /> My extra skin from lo2. I'm basically the same size I was a week or two pp. (I got down quickly but then that's it..it's mostly skin but it's not like you can tell the difference through clothes)<br /> Skin<br /> Dark circles<br /> Chin/neck area<br /> Arm fat<br /> Resting bitch face! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399440 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 01:23:09 +0000 Kemma 2399440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: my discolouration has faded so there is hope! The skin on my face is very patchy due to acne medication I took when I was 20 (I pretty much lost all the skin on my face over the course of three months) and it doesn't look great when I'm pregnant but it does settle again once I've popped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399437 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 01:00:44 +0000 erinpye 2399437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: I ❤️ you!

I did not snap back after baby. My teeth as well. They are super sensitive so I can't whiten. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399407 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 23:35:56 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2399407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: we must have been teenagers at the same time. I was relentlessly teased for being fair skinned. I love my skin tone now, but I still feel self conscious sometime when I'm wearing shorts and in the bright sun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399391 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 23:20:50 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2399391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mustache. I have really dark hair above my upper lip and it is hard (and expensive) to keep up with getting it threaded enough that I don't feel like I have a black/dark brown mustache. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399388 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 23:15:32 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2399388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It used to be my ears, they stick out from my head and are slightly big. I was teased a lot about it as a kid. I've kind of grown into them, but it's still noticeable to me. I used to let it bother me so much that I wouldn't ever wear my hair in a ponytail. But a little over a year ago, I asked myself why I let it bother me so much? It didn't matter what people thought (and most people told me they never would have noticed if I hadn't pointed it out), and I should embrace my unique ears and wear my hair however I want. So I am actually okay with them now..</p> <p>But I think my stomach is my big thing now. I don't even let DH touch it at all. If he does, it's a major turnoff and I get so mad. I have so so many stretch marks, so I hate the feeling of it being touched. I hate how it looks. I really really really want a tummy tuck someday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399384 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 23:04:15 +0000 Ginabean3 2399384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, so many things! I have a small chin and I feel like as I am getting older it's receding. When I smile for pictures I feel like I have to angle my face a certain way otherwise I look like I have no chin or a double chin. My muffin top that I can't seem to get rid of. And I too have a small discoloration of my skin on my cheek from pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399377 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 22:54:23 +0000 mediagirl 2399377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: same here!

I wish I had your skin tone to pull off that red hair and all the fun lip colors!</p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: you are so beautiful!!! You cannot tell people you just had a baby bc they would hate you for looking so amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399369 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 22:43:08 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2399369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My love handles, my currently huge boobs, and my nose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399232 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 21:04:30 +0000 erinpye 2399232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have really fair skin, which I think is fine, but because I was a teenager when tanorexia was common, I got lots of comments that hurt my feelings. Now I get more compliments, but in the Summer, I don't love showing my legs until they get just a touch of color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399229 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 21:02:37 +0000 MoonMoon 2399229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have gray hair and weak chin/jowls so I come across as a lot older than I am. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399201 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 20:45:37 +0000 LindsayLou 2399201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It used to be my skin, but I've accepted that my skin is just sensitive and prone to acne and redness. Definitely self conscious about my eyebrows and the hair above my lips. I tweeze, but not as diligently as I did before baby. Also not a huge fan of my weak chin. But overall, I'm happy with my body and comfortable in my own skin, much more so than I used to be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399195 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 20:41:29 +0000 SweetCaroline 2399195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My PP gut. I need to get to the gym. And maybe a decent pair of Spanx. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399189 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 20:37:46 +0000 wrkbrk 2399189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now it's the discoloration on my face from my pregnancy. I even posted about it on here. I am 4 weeks pp and it has not faded one bit. My facialist doesn't expect it to and said a dermatologist can do a chemical lightner but not while I'm nursing, and it's expensive, etc., etc. BLAH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399186 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 20:35:25 +0000 artsyfartsy 2399186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My whole post baby jelly belly. I'd be 5 sizes smaller if I still didn't have my deflated pregnancy belly that droops or my huge post BFing boobs. My body had no bounce back after baby. I feel cheated. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about/page/2#post-2399091 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 19:32:43 +0000 youboots 2399091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A scar on my leg from a biopsy for skin cancer. I rarely wear shorts or anything besides maxi dresses in the summer. I'm also quite a bit heavier than I was when I got married, which bothers me but I love food and hate the gym. Also my skin acne and wrinkles, boo. Overall though I feel pretty good about myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about#post-2399057 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 19:08:35 +0000 Meow 2399057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: I SO envy women with high foreheads! Mine is too small in my opinion and one of the many many things I don't like about my face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about#post-2398706 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 15:18:10 +0000 lamariniere 2398706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hair. I have naturally curly hair that is very fine so it's a puffy fuzzy mess much of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about#post-2398693 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 15:14:02 +0000 mrsrain 2398693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have bad teeth, bad skin, and enormous breasts. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about#post-2398682 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 15:10:31 +0000 bloved 2398682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, right now, it is my skin. I've always had really clear skin, but my latest round of fertility drugs/pregnancy has left me so broken out and nothing I do fixes it. I plan on running to a dermatologist as soon as I give birth. Other than that, my hair - ever since my son I have so many fly aways and grays, it just looks like a rat's nest to me. I could go on with other things too....I feel like this pregnancy is really taking a toll on me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about#post-2398340 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:36:58 +0000 Chuckles 2398340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's so silly, but it helps to read everyone else's comments and realize that we all have things that bother us. For me, it's also the stretched skin and extra fat on my stomach from being pregnant. I am also self-conscious about having uneven skin tone on my face, even though I don't think it's as bad as I imagine. I'd love to get some sort of laser treatment for it.<br /> I also have a really high forehead. When I was younger I was super self-conscious about it, but now I don't care at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-self-conscious-about#post-2398280 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 11:34:48 +0000 sandy 2398280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: yup, I had the KP on my upper arms and legs my entire life - then I went on Accutane for my severe adult acne (like 4-5 courses) and that last round killed off the cystic acne and my KP mostly went away. My LO also has it pretty bad on her arms and legs and sometimes cheeks </p>
