I was thinking just now, I've spent waaaay too much time in my life wishing I had a flat tummy. The men and women I've loved and encountered have not seemed to care at all ... wasted worry! I love my womanly tummy now. I don't care what you think, it's so much better for my sex life that I'm uninhibited.

Which part of your body are you/have you been insecure about and what have you overcome?

Thighs. It's why I started wearing swing dresses, to hide them.

I took up weight lifting, and had the support of some lovely people, and now see them as strong and shapely.

Op, you look great

When I was 18 I was fully grown height wise but weighed about 9.5 stone. I hated being skinny.

Hence why I'm a bit more chunky these days.

Used to be bigger and still put on clothes of the size I was, it’s tough mentally accepting what you are, big or small, but as I get older I get more confident and accepting of me.

I have a few hang ups, main hang up when it comes to feeling attractive is my size. I've always been active/athelic but at 6ft+ and weighting nothing, I've always been pretty thin too. Makes me self conscious the moment someone notices it/asks how much I weight... cause apparently its acceptable to ask a thin person but ask anyone with a bit about them its rude...

Way too much money riding in selling body insecurity to us unfortunately. I’m delighted that my daughters don’t freak about me wondering around naked even though they’re reaching teenagerdom. I hope it gives them a (brutally) realistic picture of what women’s bodies become in the face of media unreality.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I'm a series of spheres stacked up and out. It's mine and I'm comfortable with it.

My relationship with my body image is better now than when I was a young size 8 and called "Fatso" by family, told I would never be able to keep a man if I gained any weight and truly believed I was fat and unattractive.

It's only been a 3 years since I looked at the pictures of me from back then. About that time, someone on here commented that they wished they were as fat as when they first worried about being fat.

Some things we can't change about our bodies but we can all change our attitude towards our bodies. I'm challenging myself by having more revealing pictures and one that shows those stacked spheres.

My bum.

A lad at school used to call me big bum (in fact a few did) I've been paranoid about it for almost 30 years. Then a bloke I liked said 'it's big, but it's really not a bad thing, I like it' and it changed my outlook.

Other people had said in the past 'it's not big' but I knew they were lying so that didn't help. But realising that it is and that it's OK was a revelation!

I had always been a bit on the chubby side but not too much and with a nice womanly, curvy shape but I always felt insecure.

About 20 years ago I met someone who made me feel I was a bit too big and it was then that I started to doubt myself so much that I started trying all sorts of diets and exercise routines this person suggested.

20 years later and I am at my biggest, definitely not feeling sexy at all and regretting having listened to that person back then (especially as this person nowadays does not even pay attention to me).

I wish I had just been happy with myself as I was as I now realise there was absolutely nothing wrong with me back then.

So to all those with a few insecurities, love yourselves the way you are.

I go through phases where I loathe certain bits of me and other times I really couldn't give too much of a shit. Of course I want to look good, the best version of me but that's not always the case. I've looked better than I do now but I'm not that bothered really. It's not gonna knock my confidence at the minute because I'm in a happy place.

When things aren't going too well in other aspects of my life or I have areas of stress, especially those beyond my control, that's when the insecurities appear. Knock on effect.

A month later I had the phone call to say I won, you only have to look at my pics to admire the result, no photo shop or nothing just all me, what a confidence boost x

I think a lot of people should understand that people are more interested in staring at their phones then looking at people and by the looks of it many of you ladies on here ( yes I have been Perving) look great and you do not even realise that most of you ladies are sharing very intimate pictures of yourselves.so if that’s not called confidence I don’t know what it is. And I know it’s simpler than it says sounds.

If you don’t believe me just take a minute the next time you’re outside and see what everybody is doing and you will see for yourself

I’m glad you eventually found not only there’s nothing wrong with you back then or now, but that you have a wonderful body that turns on many of us...

Such a shame sometimes insecurities settle in by the wrong people and takes years of effort to overcome.

I had my own fair share of insecurities with my testicles until eventually I realised no one really cared, and became a lot more confident sexually and in life general

Hope you too

Funny because for me having body hair all over generates real disgusts here in the UK. Generally not a physical attribute British women like at all. I've come to own it and not worry as I've learnt it's considered perfectly normal everywhere else in the world!

Also used to be quite worried about my cock size but after doing hiit and losing weight I gained about an inch in length and apparently its quite nice lol.

men seriously don't care about stretch marks, curvy parts, jiggly parts thigh gaps and everything else social media says you should or shouldn't have, ladies if you're naked or semi naked in front of a man he will never leave because he doesn't like something about you. Confidence is key, own your body

It's not always as simplistic as that, even people with the "ideal" bodies can hate them! It's more about never feeling good enough in anyway and our body is the easiest thing to manifest this on. Modern life with it's constant food, fad diet and fitness etc bombardment just emphasises all of it unfortunately

It used to be my entire mass. I hated having big boobs, a big arse and thick thighs, not forgetting my tummy. I wanted to be slim and desirable.

Now through a combination of things I'm starting to love it and feel sexy. I'm strong, getting healthier and I feel womanly; I like seeing myself naked and all the curves.

Everything except my stomach for most of my life. Always been very slim - at high school when girls were developing breasts and a nice shape etc, I was “flat chested” and “anorexic” according to a couple of cruel bullies (I didn’t have an eating disorder, just a small appetite and a struggle to put weight on combined with being a late developer). I blossomed in my late teens/20s (becoming a mum at 21 helped me develop shape and curves too), and through my 20s until now I suppose I’ve grown more to love my slim frame but the comments of the bullies are never far from my mind at times. Even now at times I feel very self conscious in a bikini on a beach. Other times, I feel great, just depends. Past couple years I’ve added weight training to my gym routine and this helped me to feel not only stronger but also to have more shape and definition in my arms and thighs (as opposed to just being skinny) which has also helped my body image. I also struggle to put weight on - people think this is a “blessing” and “not a real problem” but those people don’t understand my experiences. So I think it just goes to show how you can be a size 8/10 and still feel crap at times about your body a times.

There’s always been bits I’ve been self conscious about.. Ive wished my boobs were smaller.. my tummy was flatter.. when I hit my forties it absolutely hit me that this body has served me pretty well in life. I never once questioned myself when I was married and it was only when I became single that I overthought everything and created anxiety that really didn’t matter. Since recovering from surgery and meds withdrawal I’m so grateful to still be here that I’ve finally embraced what I have. It’s not perfect by a long way but it’s me and I’m happy

So as the male half talking,I think there is so much pressure on the ladies to look a certain way and be in constant search of that perfect body image you see on TV. it's society that puts pressure on girls from a very young age and it's a awful sign of the times. Way more emphasis is put on a six pack or thigh gap,then if you are a nice person or can hold a conversation. For me I look for woman that make me laugh and click with me intellectually and I honestly believe most good men are the same.its media and advertising that tells woman they look bad in a certain way to sell you more stuff and make you feel less attractive.but trust me every single woman is stunning,if they are basic things like funny, intelligent, approachable and sweet

I used to be incredibly self conscious and loved blending in the background. There was so much I disliked about my body. This is where fab and being online has done me a great service really and maybe being older has also contributed to it, but I’m comfortable now. Sure there are jiggly bits that I would want to change but I really like my body and others seem to appreciate it too.

I agree. The media can be so damaging to a woman’s self esteem. But also peer groups and comments made about how you “should” look when you are developing into a young woman can stay with a woman for life.

So basically short, tall, slim, fat, young or old there’s definitely parts of our bodies we would all like to change.

The trick is not to let worrying about how you look stop you from enjoying your life. Easier said than done sadly.

It used to amaze me how women that looked pretty much perfect physical specimens to me could be more hung up on their appearance than fat old me. It’s really a shame that we can’t all be more accepting of ourselves.

It’s why I love this place though because mostly everyone here is lovely and supportive

The reason people with apparent perfect physiques can be just as if not more hung up on it is because of individual life experiences and psychological vulnerabilities. No one knows what people have been through and it’s very rarely as simple as “she’s a size 8 therefore she must love her body”. No. Bullying during teen years is powerful - it stays with people. Into my 30s now I’ve learned to embrace and even at times, dare I say it, love the body I’m in. But my god has it been a journey. I agree - we should all love ourselves regardless and the support on here is lovely too

So interesting and humbling to read everyone's stories and thoughts.

Some traumatic sexual experiences deeply effected my self worth, a mother who constantly voiced that her body was disgusting - it was modelled to me that tummy fat or loose skin from having babies is just plain revolting.

Our consumer,image, status Culture insidiously saying that we are not enough so it can sell us more stuff.

No wonder! For me it comes down to self worth. I'm proud of what my body as achieved and overcome even though I could still criticise loads of bits of me.

I'm in awe of all the shapes and sizes here on fab and how brave we all are putting ourselves out there regardless of our hang ups and what we are overcoming in life. X

I have been insecure about my body for most of my life - a fair few obvious scars, being a bit cuddly and having a rather hairy chest.

Now I am kind of embracing my body, enjoying working out and getting fitter - not too look good but to feel better. I think it is something that comes with age, an acceptance and appreciation of our own bodies.

It is such a pity that mainstream media pushes this “body perfect” image on us all the time, especially for youngster these days. There are over 7 billion people in the world and we are all different, we are all attractive to people out there just as we are all unattractive to others.

I am happier with my body now than when I was fitter and better looking in my late teens early twenties.

That's exactly what's brought me round to accepting mine. So my little girl sees that from as young as possible. I realised I had my priorities wrong for years worrying who would or wouldn't fancy me, when I should have been appreciating what I had and setting a good, body confident example. I'm less fussed now over who does or doesn't find me attractive and find that actually a lot of guys are interested more in the confidence anyway.

Exactly the same with me, want them to understand and see what a normal body looks like, not what they see in the media. So this means me not hiding my mum tum, and wearing a swimming costume and go swimming with them.
