self conscious

were any of you thin as a child? small arms, legs,etc. and were you embarassed to show your arms at school. i always wore long sleeved shirts, even when it was warm out. always wondered if i was the only one to do that.

I didnt feel self conscious as a child, but as an adult I do. My arms, legs & especially my feet are usually quite thin. I do ok for awhile & then someone (innocently) makes a comment & I go back to that self conscious mode.

I was and still am a bit self conscious about my legs. My arms never really bothered me much though. I ALWAYS wear pants. It drives Kurt crazy - he is always saying I wish you would wear shorts. If it is 100 degrees and we are going to WDW for the day .. I wear pants. It has to hotter than #e!! out for me to wear shorts basically.

I was also VERY self conscious about my nails. I had a friend who always used to make jokes about how much nail polish it must take to paint them and how much larger they look when I paint them any solid color. To this day I have a hard time painting my nails any color other than franch manicure. When I do paint them a color I usually end up scratching it all off before it even dries.

I was self conscious about my coughing too, but that has pretty much passed. There were a lot of things that bothered me as a kid that made me feel "odd", for the most part I do fine now. I will also say - in regards to my legs I feel better about it when I weigh more. They don't look so stickish to me lol.

Have a good one,
Lindsey

I was never embarassed about my size, I am pretty much average size but I hate my fingers and am constantly hiding them in the sleeves of my shirt. I got teased (by friends) about my fingers too and it made me aware of it and self conscious.....I have a porta cath too and there is a scar on my chest that is kinda high and alot of ppl tease me saying its a hickey n stuff n thats annoying sometimes lol . I know they mean no harm though.

I am self conscious about my legs and arms in relation to my pot belly. If I was thin all over it wouldn't bother me as much but I have this potbelly that I hate!

Speaking of which...why is the stomach round all over? I can see why it is bigger by the lungs but why is it round everywhere no matter how much I work out?
