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.

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.

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!

My PP gut. I need to get to the gym. And maybe a decent pair of Spanx.

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.

I have gray hair and weak chin/jowls so I come across as a lot older than I am.

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.

@erinpye: you are gorgeous!!! I wish I had your skin tone to pull off that red hair and all the fun lip colors!
@Rainbow Sprinkles: you are so beautiful!!! You cannot tell people you just had a baby bc they would hate you for looking so amazing!

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!

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..
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.

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.

@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.

My weight. I did not snap back after baby. My teeth as well. They are super sensitive so I can't whiten.

@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.

I like to think of it as self aware.
My big legs/thighs.
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)
Skin
Dark circles
Chin/neck area
Arm fat
Resting bitch face! Haha

@oliviaoblivia: I'm constantly getting "Oh my gosh, there is NO WAY you're making it do your due date!"
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.

@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.

Looking young. I'm sure I'll appreciate it in a few decades but I don't enjoy being mistaken for 19.

@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.

@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.

@2littlepumpkins: YES to RBF. 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.
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.
