I especially get nasty acne when I eat white sugar. (I can have other, healthier sweeteners.) If I didn't have this problem, it would be extremely difficult to say no to lots of sugary things, which would make me unhealthy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022924 Sun, 28 Apr 2019 01:29:38 +0000 Jaime 2022924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am grateful for menopause as it has evened out my moods, cleared up my skin, and allowed me to go longer without shaving my legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022885 Sat, 27 Apr 2019 22:30:14 +0000 Jenni NZ 2022885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will also be grateful for my skin. It is very fair and doesn’t tan at all well, burns easily. In the 70s as a teenager that made me feel bad as not the fashionable tanned look of the time. But now I’m grateful because Mum made me wear hats as a child, and I’ve used sunblock to prevent burning, and now it’s in good condition for my age, not too many wrinkles, and no skin cancers as yet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022865 Sat, 27 Apr 2019 19:45:09 +0000 Gretchen 2022865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I"m grateful for my freckles. I have fought them my entire life - my Dad was the first to call me freckle face, but certainly not the last. But, having them meant I was focused on moisturizer and sunscreen from a young age. Now that I'm older the freckles are helping hide other age spots!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022757 Sat, 27 Apr 2019 11:56:04 +0000 Anonymous 2022757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad to see everyone reframing their "troublesome" parts, and how everyone has been able to overcome very difficult things! Hugs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022754 Sat, 27 Apr 2019 11:46:48 +0000 Bijou 2022754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skin for me. I have psoriasis. Most of the time I don’t have any signs of it on me, however, if I get stressed or run down, I can get a flare up and get covered in spots similar to the measles on the trunk of my body. Whilst I hate it, I know to listen to my body and keep to a good diet and exercise routine and lots of sleep. My skin is my health barometer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022670 Sat, 27 Apr 2019 01:58:56 +0000 Suz 2022670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm grateful for my legs. They are short, and prone to cellulite if I don't work out like the dickens, and slightly saddle-bagged. And these days, I get twinges of arthritis in the knees. Still, my legs are strong, and they have taken me thousands and thousands of steps and many, many miles. Walking is my favourite way to get around and I also take great pleasure in it. My legs are good friends.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022661 Sat, 27 Apr 2019 01:04:15 +0000 Peri 2022661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be grateful for my feet, which are normally what I complain about. They may not be able to wear all the cute shoes, but they are still holding me up and walking me around despite both having been crushed by a horse in my young years. They let me ballroom dance on them with more ease than they let me walk on them and they keep gaining in grace and balance. Thank you, feet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022614 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 19:53:39 +0000 Synne 2022614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, this one is hard. I guess I'm grateful for my statuesque physiqe. I'm very tall, broad shouldered, no tiny head on my shoulders, quite the opposite. I have never been small, cute, dainty. But I have always been very visible. Style and clothes is how I can control some of the aspects of how I'm on display, if that makes sense. I have a lifetime of experience of standing out in a crowd, literally speaking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022610 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 19:13:27 +0000 Bonnie 2022610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm grateful for my hair. From childhood on I've a thick, coarse, unruly hair. I've learned how to have it cut and how to tame it with an flat iron and now I like it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022581 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 16:06:40 +0000 Anonymous 2022581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm grateful for my teeth, too, Suntiger. &nbsp;As a child, my mouth was a real mess. &nbsp;I had to have oral surgery and I wore traditional braces for three years, and a retainer for a long time afterwards. &nbsp;It was an uphill battle, but I ended up with a pretty good set of pearly whites (well, almost-white; I drink a lot of coffee). And I'm grateful that I had parents who could take on this monumental project! &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022578 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 15:31:57 +0000 Cee 2022578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm grateful for people who are grateful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022575 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 15:09:51 +0000 Janet 2022575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL Another member of Team Mighty Small Head.

Also Angie, I hope this doesn't sound too weird, but your head is perfect for you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm grateful for my facial eczema, which I've had all my life. It's meant that mostly I haven't been able to wear any makeup. While I find that really annoying, it's also been a real self confidence boost to realise that some good people have considered my bare unvarnished face to be worth falling for.</p> <p>I have grown up around women who pick themselves to pieces and who have spent so much money, time and energy on fixing their so called flaws. So, I'm grateful for my eczema. Unsightly and irritating as it is, it's also taught me I don't need to be perfect for others to want me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022556 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 13:56:15 +0000 Anonymous 2022556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suspect this thread may be harder- but important! Its easy to say that we should have body positivity, but don't say how to not feel bad when society is saying "this is the standard of beauty". And the implied message is "the purpose of the body is to look nice."<br /> Our bodies are not just decorative, they are designed to move and heal and work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022554 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 13:44:52 +0000 ChristelJ 2022554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am grateful for my arms. They are big, spotted and veiny with sagging, crepey flesh, and I have long been self-conscious about them. But they are strong, and allow me to do so many of the things I most enjoy in life: paint, cook, dance, write, make things, carry things, hold loved ones. Thanks, arms! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022548 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 13:24:02 +0000 Angie 2022548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How LOVELY, ladies. Fabulous teeth, skin, hips, thighs and chests!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm grateful for my child size head, that I used to be quite embarrassed about. I'm very hard to fit for adult size hats and specs because of it. So silly! I needed to give myself a talking to....</p> <p>My small head&nbsp;works with the rest of me. I can wear a pixie, fab specs, am thoughtful, and it keeps on ticking remembering small and inane details. Gratitude!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022539 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 13:10:38 +0000 Janet 2022539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have deep gratitude for my hips and legs, even though I don’t love how they look (I’ve bemoaned my wide hips and hefty thighs since I was a teenager). When I was born, my hip joints were not fully fused (dysplasia), and I wore a brace for the first few months of my life. So really, I am very thankful that my hips and legs work so well that I can do all the things I do. They are strong and healthy even though they are not slim and pretty, and for that I am thankful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022528 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 12:21:36 +0000 Liesbeth 2022528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can think of a few...<br /> I’ve always felt lacking in the chest department, ever since my little sister needed a bigger bra then me :). But these days I can feel gratitude for my A-cup: I have no (amplified) back pain, can easily wear crew and turtlenecks, and can pick bras purely for comfort and esthetics. I also rarely get inappropriate looks as there’s just nothing to check out there :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022515 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 10:50:34 +0000 Astrid 2022515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me it's also my skin! I normally don't like it much because I'm always pale, don't tan, get sunburned very easily and am blemish-prone even as an adult (same as my father). But I'm very grateful all the same, because I had neurodermatitis as a child and now my skin is so much healthier in comparison! No more medical problems, just cosmetical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-more-gratitude#post-2022510 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 10:28:08 +0000 anchie 2022510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are on a gratitude roll :)<br /> For me it is my skin - I had terrible acne when I was a teen that left deep scars on my cheeks. I was never happy with my skin. But now at almost 50 I still don’t have wrinkles so there is something positive about my skin type. </p>
