How do you feel about your body?

Got super fat when I was younger, then lost it all. Now look like a popped balloon is hanging from my waist when I do pushups.

I don't like it, is what I'm saying :)
 
Around 5 years ago I would say I looked like a creepy serial killer. Moved to America and found it really hard to adjust so I ended up playing WoW in my room through most of my high school years.

A few years ago I started boxing, proper skin care, and fixed up my posture. Aside from still being a little pale, I'm really happy with how I look.
 
I've lost 30 pounds this past 6 months, still some fat in my stomach and thigh area. Arms/chest/calves look pretty good though.

I hope to lose another 25 in the next 3-4 months.
 
Hate it. Got bad body issues. Lost a ton of weight etc, still hated it. Think I have body dysmorphia too.
 
I'm 5'7". I've had the same body since mid high school. I weigh ~145lbs or so. I'm skinny and I try to put on muscle and it doesn't really work :lol. Guess I can't complain though as I'm skinny.

I love my body though, few quirks I wish I could fix or being an inch taller, but on the whole I can't complain.

5'9" and 145lbs too :(

so hard to gain the right weight
 
I'm okay with it. I started lifting at the gym a couple months ago and have seen noticeable improvement, so I'm happy.
 
Generally I feel neutral/alright about my body, but my confidence is going up lately. I lost 15 pounds in the past three months and am aiming to lose another 15 to get myself to about 160-165 pounds.

Also I'm getting underbite jaw-surgery in a month, and pretty much everyone who does that gets a boost in a attractiveness. So that's something to look forward to.

My height is sometimes a sore point though. I'm 5"8, so not really short, but it's enough to make me wish a had another two inches in height.
 
Some minor, stupid shit has to happen seemingly every couple of months. Moderate amounts of shame with appearance. I treat it like real garbage sometimes and I think it's catching on.
 
I've gotten more comfortable with it. I'm 6 ft tall and weigh 140 lbs. I could stand to gain about 20 pounds of muscle, but I'm not too worried about it. I'm not in good shape because I don't exercise, but I'm hoping to get into a routine after this semester ends.
 
Meh, it's not very good. Pretty weak looking I must say. I have no muscle definition whatsoever. I plan on starting to work out though, getting in shape has been one of the things I always wanted to do, but could never quite keep up with the dedication it takes.
 
Arms and shoulders aren't big enough, legs are fine. It also lacks some raw strength, motor skills and coordination, probably because I hated sports and exercise when I was a kid and during all my teenager years.
 
I feel like I've enhaled one too many Cheeseburgers and now have a little gut. This is something that could be easily remidied with a lighter diet and a little more excercise.
 
With clothes on I feel fine

With clothes off I'm reminded that I need to get a bit stronger. I'm 6'2 and 175ish but I'm a bit slight
 
I'm okay with the overall shape of it I guess. It would be nice to not have everything loose and saggy though.

Or because you aren't doing anything about it now.

Especially raw strength. Your peak for that shit isn't those younger years anyways.
 
I don't like it that much, but I don't think it's particularly terrible. And I kinda don't care that much anyway and think other things about me are way more important/more than make up for it.

Although I have been getting really bad indigestion semi-often recently which sucks, if that counts.
 
I personally don't like it, even though I'm probably in very good shape. Been working out for about six years on and off, six days a week the last two years, I'm 6,2" and I weigh about 230lb. But I'm not big enough, I hate what I see in the mirror, it's fucked up really, and silly.
 
Vertical leap has vanished. The moment you realize that is a difficult one. Actually feels like at least three moments, maybe four. Everyone else just going about their business, but you're there, stuck to the ground and confused.

Jump while you can, GAF. Jump while you can.

Aside from that I'm ok w/my body. Have all the parts, would be shitty to complain more.
 
Athlete throughout my life, then I had my kid. Stopped caring for a few years, and got up to 230lbs. Started being active again, and down to 180 (high school weight) again and feeling better then I have in a long time. I kinda lucked out in the genes department, though I understand how hard it is for others. That 50 lbs was a pain in the ass to lose.
 
Considering how badly I mistreated my body in my teens, and how much my parents fed me throughout my childhood and teenhood, I think I'm in good shape. But I would definitely love to lose a few pounds/gain some muscle. I started getting into some diets/workout plans during the latter half of summer, but school ended that. Hoping I use the ~month off after exams to get back into it all.
 
I don't like the way it looks now, but it's something I'm working on. Since I've been diligent (for the most part) with diet and exercise, I've made a conscious decision to focus on performance vs. appearance, but not let the two be in conflict.

I'm not a "strong" guy by any means, but I was proud as fuck of myself for deadlifting 335 this past weekend. I was proud as fuck of myself for benching 225 (two plates!). Squat is stuck at 295, but it'll get there.

I dunno. Feels like the more I focus on what I can do the less stress I have about the way my body looks.
 
It's awesome I guess? My wife lusts after me nightly and thinks I'm the hottest dude on the planet so that goes a long ways.

It's just not something I think about. Ever.
 
I hate my body, the way it looks, and the genetics that are currently screwing me over. There's not too much I can do about genetics, but it has some influences on how my body looks and feels a lot of the time. There are times where I look in the mirror and wish that whatever I saw in the mirror wasn't me.
 
No, I'm not comfortable with it, but I'm trying to improve it. Still there are things that I don't like and I cannot change them.
 
I'd be more content if I lost about 10-15 pounds more, but I'm down about 25 pounds from my heaviest, so I'm certainly going in the right direction. I'm not going for mass and muscle, I just need to get rid of this beer belly that I've been hanging onto since college. I go to the gym 4-5 times a week though, sometimes more, and have been receiving a lot of compliments lately on my weight/looks, so I'll just keep doing that and I'll be fine.
