I love that I'm pretty healthy - no catastrophic injuries to date, only down with a bug once a year or so, only very mild occasional allergies. I have a lot of heart disease and diabetes in the family that still loom, but if I take care of myself I can minimize that risk.
I like being strong and reasonably flexible. I like my long and relatively thin hands. I have individually good facial features, though I'm still pretty skeptical on the face as a package (much less than I used to be, though).
I dislike that my bones will never let me fit within society's current definition of "thin," and the genetic predisposition to carrying some extra weight makes things that much worse, and makes getting even to "thin for me" that much harder. I'm grateful that my barrel chest makes my smaller bust look bigger, but it's generally problematic when trying to fit clothes or fit in small spaces. I used to have good legs, but the extra weight hasn't done flattering things, and I'm not sure if it's recoverable.
All that said, I don't know that there's anything I'd actually change past losing some weight (in process again) and maybe straightening my teeth (if finances present). I already had the LASIK (Best. Thing. Ever.), and that was the biggest unhappiness.
