I hate my body!

[Gillian]

Well,

I reached a very strange place last night when sitting watching the Brit's, I came to the conclusion that I hate my body!

So I guess I am well on my way to being a real woman then! :D

[Nicole Erin]

Yeah having a male shape does suck :S

If you are at a decent thinness for a male, you can wear some slight hip padding or breast forms and maybe change the shape a tad.

Yeah it would be nice to have real hips or boobs.

Maybe look into HRT?

[Stitch]

The Brit awards would make anyone hate their body, its not really the best of "ideals" to be comparing yourself too. :sad:

I may not be amazingly toned with legs that go on forever, but in general I'm pretty pleased with how I look. I mean I probably could get that toned look if I wanted but I'm not about to start gym training for several hours a day and live on crackers and salad. :doh: I'm quite happy eating cakes and just enjoying each day as it comes.

[Moe GG]

I've got enough booty to go around, you can have some of mine!

You'll have to get the upper curves from someone else though, I need the little I've got to hold my tops up. :heehee:

[Claire Cook]

Do real women "hate" their bodies? Maybe that's why boob jobs, tucks and other cosmetic surgery are so popular. Or -- are they aware of how their bodies are "different" -- I guess I mean "unique" -- and buy clothes accordingly?

[Nicola2876]

Join the club! Been wishing I could wake up in a different body for as long as I can remember.

[Stephenie S]

Hating your body does not make you a real woman any more than putting on a dress makes you feminine. I am truely sorry that you hate your body, but it's gonna take a bit more than that to become a "real woman".

[Kate Simmons]

Hmm, yeah well my body hates me, so I guess we're even on that score.:)

[Kimmy55]

Personally if I could have real boobs,wider hips and slightly meatier thighs I'd be in CD Heanen

It was more a tongue in cheek than a reality comment as I am more than aware of my physical limitations and abilities Stephie :D

[kimdl93]

I only hate my body when I'm wearing a sweater dress and realize that I still have to lose some more weight!

[Stephenie S]

It was more a tongue in cheek than a reality comment as I am more than aware of my physical limitations and abilities Stephie :D

Yeah, I realized that after a while.

Sorry

[Gillian]

Yeah, I realized that after a while.

Sorry

Honestly not a problem.

Moe i would gladly settle for some of your pretty apple cheeks....the rest i can substitute something.... but not the high cheek bones.:daydreaming:

[Alicia_lynn419]

You're not the only one..! Got to dress for the first time in quite a while on Valentine's Day and did not like what I saw in the mirror... Just more motivation to join a health club on top of walking when the weather allows....

[sherri52]

I'd be happy with a little smaller feet

[corndog420]

Well I think most people are uncomfortable with their bodies, most women want to have larger breasts (unless they have big boobs, then they want smaller ones because of the negative attention and back pains) and a bigger butt and wider hips, etc. most men wish they were better looking and certainly wish they had bigger penises (I can vouch for that!), so TG's and crossdressers really got it rough there, but I will say that if you have no conflict with your feminity, then you understand you should understand that you are attractive on some level, you're beauty always shows through, and you know the harshest critic in the world of your body is the one who has to see it in the mirror, and while it may be an endless problem for TG's, it's really present with everyone else too, even the pornstars who have had more plastic surgery than they have ever needed still see flaws, that's because nobody is ever perfect, someone (many people actually) loves your body and wouldn't change a thing if they could, and if you find that person, hopefully you'll learn to love your body as much as they do.

Oh no! Not the apple cheeks.. How would I be able to attract the likes of you if I didn't have them? :eek:
The other cheeks are still on offer though, lol..

But on a more serious note.. I've spent too long hating my body, for all the right reasons, I've been huge, and I do mean huge, like two normal-sized human beings in one body-type of huge...
At some point, you just have to let that go and focus on your good bits. We ALL have them.

I'll NEVER be thin or petite, I could starve myself and I'd still have big feet, broad shoulders and calves like tree trunks! (The last bit is the curse of my family and no matter how skinny the others are, the tree trunk calves remain.)... But that's alright.. Because there are other parts of me that I like.

If I went down to what some would consider a normal weight for my height.. I would look terrible, like I was dying, due to my bone structure.

So please.. Focus on the parts of yourself that you DO like, rather than the ones you don't! If you can't tell what your good bits are, then ask someone else to point them out for you because chances are you don't have a very realistic view of yourself if you hate everything.

[Imogen_Mann]

Hey... I hate my body. Doesn't mean I'm on the way anywhere... I just need to diet like it's a fetish and walk about ten thousand mile a week to keep fit.

I think I'm lucky not to have any sort of body dysphoria... I just wish I could look after the one I've got.
Ok.... If there was a 'press once and become the girl of your dreams' button I'd have pressed it by now, but I accept that for me, there isn't and never will be.

[Byanca]

Hate it too. I don't think I can ever get comfortable with the body. There is almost a total split between mind and matter.

[Aleca]

I remember when I went through gender counseling briefly and was told that hating your body is what distinguishes TS from CD. I was classified the latter and told to Google "sex addiction."
I don't hate my body. For me I've had male organs and hormones since birth so that is what I am used to. They are just body parts that are there. No "cancerous growth" to me or anything like that. To me changing organs would be kind of weird at first but with the clothing I like to wear and look I like to present it would sure be a lot more convenient.

[Jocelyn Quivers]

Only when I'm wearing sleevless tank tops. The shoulders and arms thing which I'm slowly starting to accept. Also when trying to find closed toe shoes that do not look like boats when on and that do not hurt my feet

[TG_Nicole]

Well i hate my stomach the rest of my body i can deal with. Years of working in convenient stores and eating junk food all the time. And now working in a game studio with all the soda i want. Now I'm trying to cut soda and red meat out.

I don't really hate my body idk its kinda weird. I want to be a woman 24/7 but appreciate the challenges i will face in doing so. These challenges will just make me appreciate my femininity more than most gg's ever will.

i'm relatively confident that most american women have been brainwashed by madison avenue and the si calendar into believing that if they don't look like cheryl tiegs or catherine zeta jones they don't 'measure up.'

i had a girlfriend, who was 5'9" tall and weighed 130 pounds and rather good looking (Sigourney Weaver type features), and she used to make up her face and then snarl at herself in the mirror because she didn't like what she saw. no one is ever satisfied. i have read that many, many runway models were considered to be ugly ducklings because they were so tall and skinny as young teenagers.

[Andy66]

My weight has always gone up and down. I have been very thin, and I have been very fat. But one thing I learned from it all, is that there are so many people in the world with so many different tastes, no matter how you look, somebody will think you're beautiful.

By the way, is your avatar really a picture of you? Because the woman in that picture is very beautiful.

I agree

[thechic]

Really sums it up for me, Moe! We all "hate" our bodies in one way or another - ie we aren't what we aspire to be yet. But what we love in others are differences - apple cheeks :), dimples, whatever.. we fall in love and are attracted to more than the physical, but then we love the physical we have fallen in love with!??

Lady Gaga - cute body... Dawn French - what a wonderfully feminine and outrageously attractive woman!

:love: Kaz xx

There is an interesting question in here and I am not sure if you alluded to it Gillian... do CDs aspire to be (in our heads) glamorous, physically "attractive" (in a normative sense ie the Brits, Hollywood, etc)... or are we happy with being "normal" girls?

There are endless debates about hips, shoulders, etc... but look around... girls come in every shape and size! Am I a stereotypical "male" shape? I am certainly no Hollywood lead!

Hate my body? I just wish it looked different. Preferably female.

But if I was female and I didn't like my body, would I want to go back to bad old me?

Or would I like an androgenous body that could easily pass in both worlds?

:daydreaming:

[marcy77]

I can deal with everything that I got except for my lack of hips and butt. I hate wearing the pads and have considered getting cheek implants.
