Getting Over An Insecurity

For a couple years I have not liked one body part so I always dressed to cover up, for years my male cousins said that its muscle and not fat, not that I asked.
So I bit the bullet and dropped the sleeves, I bought me 5 new tank tops today, to wear everywhere and not just at home, I think my arms are fat but I guess they aren`t.
This is one hot summer so I will be a little more naked.
Do you have a body part that you are self conscious about?

Oh, don't worry about others, as long as you know for yourself that it doesn't look bad when you wear tanks. It's summer and it's so appropriate to wear.
Yes, my tummy. It's so round although not so big , that when I cannot wear a so fit shirt, lest they are obvious. But at least, I can camouflage it.

@andriaperry If they do not flap in the wind when you raise your arms no one will gag. Some comedian used to joke about the loose skin on older women's arms and he called them "Ethel Mermans" because when she would sing and spread her arms out her lower arms jiggled.

I thought to have a nose job when I was a teenager. After I met my husband I stopped thinking about it, everybody is saying that there is nothing wrong with my nose. I know we like to criticize parts of our body.

I have always had bigger than average arms and yes it is muscle. You work so hard, of course you have muscle, good for you. I do not like my belly, but I am not working very hard to trim it either.

At this state in my life as long as they are still attached to my body I'm happy.

A little bit about my belly. But I have earned it, so I show it when I want. I am sure your arms are more muscle than fat!!

my mother used to wear alot of tank tops, but she sometimes hated wearing them because it showed off her tattoos. For me my feet.

Don't worry about it. If it's hot, just take it all out!

I don't like showing off my upper arms either. I always felt self conscious about them, even when I was a kid. I also don't like showing off my thighs or stomach.
And then there's my double chin, which I have even when I'm skinny thanks to my dad's side of the family (it's an inherited trait.) Not much I can do about that.
