s/o legs and body stuff

[sarack]

so here is another pic, of a different dress and day where you can see my legs a little better. i have REALLY big upper thighs and fat knees. it is pretty much the thing that i'm most insecure about so dresses are kind of a big deal for me.

the only other pic i have on my phone is one of me in underwear.. i'd totally show you but i don't want it to get flagged/visited more often/or deleted because of me in my unders.

that dress is short, but you can see. i think from being heavy for so long, my legs are shaped weird. but thats ok. working to change it now.

isn't that dress adorbs? i should have bought it but didn't because of the knee thing. i regret it.

Be honest, you are just showing off how pretty you are, aren't you?

I'm sorry you feel insecure about that part of your body. We all have stuff like that. I have acne on my shoulders, and even if I don't have a current breakout, I have scars and it makes me hate wearing certain types of shirts.

and also, the only reason i told you guys don't judge was because it was my way of coping that i just put a pic of me in a dress with my legs showing online for the world to see. lol. i know you girls don't judge me. and if you do, it's because you fuckinglovesaracklikewhoa!

I can see what you're talking about, but honestly, only because you pointed it out. Remember, it takes your skin time to bounce back too. You're looking fabulous, and I think you look fabulous in dresses.

laura- i'd love to see another pic. i should send you a pic of me in a bathing suit.

Totes adorbs! You should have bought it! Yeah, I agree with BabyA - you're totally just showing off. You look amazing.

it's nice to knowi 'm not the only one.. i mean, not nice to know, but sometimes i feel deformed.. especially when people claim to carry their weight in their lower tummy, hips, and legs.

[emyinpink]

oh yea, and it's very true that you will always have the things that bother you about your own body. plus, it's hard to see your own successes. I don't view myself as skinny. I don't even view myself as normal, or even not fat. I look in the mirror, and I see every bulge and wrinkle. I see massive hips and thighs and calves. every day I try to convince myself that I'm looking good, that I'm doing well, and that I've come really far. it's extremely common with weightloss. I'm not really sure what the solution is (I haven't found it yet), but we can find it together .

I love that dress on you. The color is great! I don't know if you posted on the other thread....but I need to know where you were shopping for these dresses. I need them! haha. The high cut top is so cute.......butttt it probably would never look as cute on me as it does on you.

eta: checked other thread! thanks!

i did post on the other one- h&m. i love that store. i always thought i couldn't fit, but i'm over 100lbs smaller than last year so i FIT!

I know we've said this before.....but seriously, you have come sooooo far! I just went and looked at the older picture you put on FB a few days ago and compared to this....it looks soooo awesome! I showed my H too! Seriously impressive!

I hate my knees too! No matter how much I work out my legs stay large and I have a tumor that sticks out right above my knee... It looks awful! I totally want leg lipo

I'm an open book - I've found inspiration in other people being open even when they're feeling vulverable and I hope I can do the same. I've come a long way and I've got a long ways to go. My before picture for the weightloss challenge shows my full body shot (but not my knees so much, they're covered by my workout pants!)
I should post my before-before shot when I weighed over 300 pounds...

i'd love to see your before pic. I love looking at before and afters....especially when it's such a huge loss! Congrats!!!!

I wish I could somehow gain the motivation/dedication to really stick to a healthy lifestyle.

That dress is cute, I love the color. It looks great on you!
