I was just thinking... I really have ugly hands. It's not a new thing it's just got much worse over the years. I didn't think it was possible for them to get even uglier, but they have..I inherited my paternal grandmothers' working hands.. , and they are just really horrible now with age.. OA .. and now loose skin which takes about 20 minutes to bounce back when you pinch it.. oh, ok.. 20 seconds.. but hey..it's a long time.. what happened to springing back instantly.. ?.. anyway they're UGLY!!...:rolleyes: I'm going to start wearing gloves everywhere I go like the Queen..:sneaky:

What about you what part of your body do you really dislike.. and try to hide.. ?

I have to agree. I remember as a kid seeing my Grandmothers hands and cringing inside.
They had blue protruding veins and brown spots. They looked dry and worn from many dirty dishes, gardening, cleaning and cooking. Never sunscreen!

Well, yes, I'm looking at those same hands. At least they remind me of my Grammy and give my Brands something to cringe about.

Short answer...... everything below my chin.

I do try so hard to talk to various parts of my body, asking them to behave, get a grip, and to get me there and back when I go out, but the service they all give me is not up to standard and they gang up on me and make me sit down at regular intervals, so chasing after gorgeous women is just a distant memory now....... drat, and double drat.... 😊

so far I don't have any brown spots... I hope never to have those but my hands are very wrinkly..due to years of working without wearing rubber gloves.. but even by the time I;d started wearing them several years ago..my hands were very old. They're not large .. altho' I describe them like man's hands.. what I meant was they're not beautiful hands like women tend to have, they've always been ugly since I was young..

As I have grown older, I have learned to be less focused on my body. We all have things we don't like about ourselves but don't waste a minute worrying about it. Instead focus on the things you do like, appreciate your health. Gratitude is the key to happiness.

I do appreciate the health I have.. altho' some of it isn't that great tbh... really the hands are not a great concern at the end of the day.. just something that is annoying, I have OA in them as well so they're painful .. .. I have a knee that pisses me off because it's so painful.. etc.. but really the hands just annoy the heck outta me..

Thank goodness my DD has beautiful hands and didn't inherit my ugly paws..

I do find it a little weird that we do actually dislike parts of our body...and probably always have. The parts of the body have changed over time, and now it often has to with looks, or aches and pains. Oh well, like my dad said "It ain't easy growin' old.":)
 
I've got a turkey waddle that I wish wasn't there but after talking to the plastic surgeon that knocked me out and rebuilt my nose twice after cancer was removed it'll cost $5000.00+ to have it removed and it ends up leaving a faint but slightly noticeable "Z" shaped scar that looks like I pi$$ed off Zorro......think I'll just go ahead keep the waddle. :)

I used to ask myself, "Why does dad make that grunting noise when he gets up from a chair?"
Now, I know. It's like Harry Chapin's song "Cats in the Cradle." "My boy is Just like Me."

people do that.. but I was watching a physio the other day on Youtube and they said , that people make themselves sound old by struggling to get out of a chair holding the arm and grunting.. when unless you have a disability there's no need for it..

Try sitting in the middle of the sofa, and standing up without using your hands to hold anything.. and the grunting will stop.. ( so they say)...
 
Like many have said "belly fat" so I'm going to try very hard to restrict my eating. Steak will be a rarity. But have drink mixes (crystal light) so takes the edge off hunger.

I'm not concerned about hair loss, or incepient tremors. Maybe if I can change eating habits, that's enough.
