One of the many bodily woes we ladies go through are jiggly arms and rumor has it that the nearly perfect Jennifer Aniston is planning on getting surgery to fix it. Reportedly the 45-year-old actress is looking to get brachioplasty, or "batwing" surgery, as it is commonly known in Hollywood.
Oh brother! Just what we need, one MORE thing to nitpick about on our bodies!

During brachioplasty, the excess skin on the outside of the arm is lifted and tucked in. It makes me sad to know that this is a thing in the world of plastic surgery, although I shouldn't be surprised. With all the various surgeries they offer out there, I'm sure we'll hear of more that are just bizarre.
What is upsetting is that we as women are already hard on ourselves as is. We feel tons of pressure to look put together all the time, be thin, wrinkle-free–you name it. It's suffocating to the point that it makes me wonder; is there ANYTHING we actually like about ourselves physically?
There are so many bodily flaws that we need to relax about. The next you know we'll be freaking out because our toes have wrinkles! Below are minor imperfections on our body that us women need to stop hating and begin accepting.
1.Cellulite: Look chica, if your mom had it, chances are you are going to have it too. Cellulite does not discriminate and even your thinnest amiga will be plagued with it at one point or another.
2. Wrinkles: Since when did botox become the "in" thing. As long as you take care of your skin for the most part, we should accept some of our wrinkles. Laugh lines for example are a sign that we are happy and who doesn't like that?
3. Stretch marks: Whether it's because you had a baby, a growth spurt during puberty, or lost weight, stretch marks happen. If you're lucky you can avoid them, but the majority of women have them and you shouldn't be ashamed!
4. Lack of flat abs: Unless you are a naturally thin woman or a fitness freak, chances are your abs are not J.LO status. Lets be honest how many women do we REALLY see walking around with abs of steel?
5. Thigh gap, cankles, thut butt etc.: All these crazy terms society has given our bodies is ridiculous. We are all expected to have a thigh gap (which is impossible for some women), skinny ankles, a perky butt, and so forth that it's exhausting! Can we just accept our bodies for how they look and not try to live up to these impossible standards?
