When I look at old photos I think my body looked amazing, but in the moment I wasn't happy with it.</p> <p>So, no. I don't know that I'll ever be 100% happy. It makes me really sad that I feel that way, I know I need to be very careful about what I say around DD so she doesn't pick up on my body image issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1609199 Fri, 02 May 2014 14:15:38 +0000 plantains 1609199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was pretty happy with my body before DD and I am sure that I could be really happy with it again if I would just say no to champagne and wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1609176 Fri, 02 May 2014 14:08:19 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1609176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been before. It was a great feeling!</p> <p>Now, though, after having two kids, I don't think I will ever feel that way again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1609172 Fri, 02 May 2014 14:06:14 +0000 mrsrain 1609172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never been perfect (duh!), but there have definitely been times where I felt comfortable in my own skin. I can't wait to get back to feeling that way, some day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1609159 Fri, 02 May 2014 14:01:30 +0000 sunny 1609159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I have always wanted to be taller. Now I want to be taller and skinnier. :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1609154 Fri, 02 May 2014 13:57:20 +0000 Andrea 1609154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I am not super fit by any means, but I am healthy and feel good most of the time. I've accepted my not so thin body type. If you know your body and dress appropriately, that helps! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1609073 Fri, 02 May 2014 13:21:31 +0000 MoonMoon 1609073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am happy with my body. Could it look better? Sure. But it gave me a healthy pregnancy and awesome baby, which I won't take for granted and am grateful for. I promised myself at one point that I won't bond with my friends by talking about what we hate about our bodies, and that change has been really positive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608981 Fri, 02 May 2014 12:58:07 +0000 rachiecakes 1608981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: :heart: same, it's bottom on the totem pole of stuff I worry about </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608978 Fri, 02 May 2014 12:57:20 +0000 rachiecakes 1608978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In a way, I am. I'm happy to be healthy, I'm happy that my body is capable of the things it's capable of and that I'm able to have an active life.<br /> I could make a list for days of the "I wish" but I've started to drop it. I'll never have Gisele's legs, I'm not Gisele. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608970 Fri, 02 May 2014 12:55:45 +0000 Synchronicity 1608970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not, but that's OK. No one is perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608965 Fri, 02 May 2014 12:54:59 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1608965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes- that doesn't mean my body is awesome, it just means I am 100% happy with it as a whole. I like to think it is awesome and I am awesome and everything is awesome :) no use in being unhappy with myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608962 Fri, 02 May 2014 12:53:56 +0000 mrsjyw 1608962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, but only in hindsight! Like I see photos of me "in my prime" and I"m like DAMN! But, I know when I had that body, I didn't 100% appreciate it.</p> <p>Or even now, I'm back below pp and working out more than ever before, but I still find flaws. And I'm sure after baby dos, I'll be crying with jealousy for this body after just ds. etc.</p> <p>It's a vicious cycle.</p> <p>I'm still 100% confident in my body though, flaws and all, if that makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608954 Fri, 02 May 2014 12:51:55 +0000 snowjewelz 1608954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I don't think I'll ever be, and that's okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608332 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:32:29 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1608332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't and it frustrates me so much! I would probably be 100% happy if there was no swim suits in the world...but I always feel like if I try harder, my stomach can be flat. But I'm not sure if I want to try that hard (and granted that most of the moms who are super fit around me do not work). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608230 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:12:33 +0000 Alivoo01 1608230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadly, no. I always will find something to nitpick on. </p> <p>I think the only time I was happy with my body was in middle school when I played a ton of sports and my body was tone. Loved it! I worked my ass off for my wedding and my body was kind of tone then, but the moment I stop working out, wah wah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608222 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:09:01 +0000 cascademom 1608222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm happy with it right now after losing 40 lbs recently. I'm happy with it when clothes fit. My happiness with it comes from working really hard at losing the weight for me and no one else. It's a work in progress but it's my hard work that makes me happy about my body. In terms of stretch marks, etc., I don't care. They're my badges from having LO. Just doesn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608196 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:05:18 +0000 yin 1608196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think eventually I will learn to accept my body and not stress over the imperfections. One day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608163 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:56:32 +0000 Adira 1608163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: Damn hindsight! Wish I could've just enjoyed it while I had it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608143 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:51:19 +0000 swurlygurl 1608143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Agh, me too. It kills me too look back on those old pictures and remember how I still thought I needed to lose a ton of weight. I looked dang good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608137 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:50:38 +0000 swurlygurl 1608137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think 100%, most people will always having *something* they want to improve. There was a point where I was like 90% happy with my body - I think that's pretty good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608118 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:46:03 +0000 MrsSCB 1608118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been thinking about this recently. I've been exercising more and eating better than ever, but I don't know that I'll get to 100 percent. I also (I'm a little embarrassed to admit :bummed: ) have cellulite on my thighs that just won't go away no matter what. I guess it's genetic. I think if I could get rid of that if be pretty close to 100 percent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608101 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:42:00 +0000 Adira 1608101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Even when I was at my skinniest and looked pretty good, I thought I was fat! Now looking back, I'm like "Why did I think that??? I looked fantastic!"</p> <p>I care less and less though, so I think I'm happier overall, though I'm definitely not 100% happy with my body. I know it'll never be perfect and I'm accepting that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608057 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:28:27 +0000 immabeetoo 1608057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mulled on this for a while - if I had a magic wand, would I change a few things? Probably. Do I spend time contemplating what I'd change or what I wish were different? No. I'm comfortable in my skin and body, for better or worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608039 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:24:26 +0000 .twist. 1608039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Although I'm getting back the body I once had, a lot of wrinkles are coming along with it..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608038 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:24:25 +0000 Greentea 1608038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am. Not because it looks like it was Photoshoped but I find loving your body to be more of a mental process/ choice, philosophy, way of thinking... at least for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1608007 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:17:51 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1608007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

Clothes can hide so much!! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1607996 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:13:20 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1607996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, i dont think i'll ever be 100 percent happy. I seem to remember a time when i was younger that i was confident and happy with the way i looked but i dont see myself in that mindset again anytime soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-will-ever-be-100-happy-with-your-body#post-1607987 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:11:08 +0000 blackbird 1607987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is anyone ever 100%? There is always something I'll want to work on. Leaner, stronger, fitter, more cut, whatever it is. The body is always a work in progress :happy: </p>
