Shorts?!

CrankMeUp

I know.

Some of you will think this is ridiculous...but I haven't worn shorts to the gym (insert a bunch of mental worries about my body)..EVER.

Until friday.

and guess what? I am ok.

I posted this because I had several conversations with women on my FL and found out they felt the same way...even some of the ones I thought were the most confident!





oh! AND I deadlifted big girl plates in them for the first time.





I wanna see your pictures in shorts, and any bad___ ( rhymes with grass) gifs as well.

Why would you be uncomfortable in shorts? You look like you've got great legs. I noticed your pic in the other thread. I don't have a fun gif.

I used to be the same way, now I rarely wear anything but shorts or skirts to the gym! like the others said, you've got great legs, rock those shorts!

You look awesome. I run in shorts, sometimes. I don't love my thighs, but they don't make people stab their own eyes out when they see them, so I don't worry about it.

It is a good question...anxiety every time I would put them on...feeling things would squish weird as i lifted...hating my knees...Like I said, mostly ridiculous!!!

I think also I need to work on how I see myself from losing 40+ pounds....when I see pictures I look much smaller that what I think I look like.

I'm confused ... what was the issue??

Iron_Lotus

You have great legs!

I have never worn shorts in public.

By the way, this is not a "tell me how great I look" post

I dont need anyone to tell me that.

It is a GET OUT of your own head post, and stop being afraid of things.

HappyElizabeth

You have great legs (and I mean that in a not-creepy way)!!

No_Finish_Line

I just started wearing shorts again recently, but not to work out in. My chub rubs together too much still!

Your deadlift is awesome:flowerforyou:

I like shorts because I like my legs and other people seem to as well lol. I don't wear them as much because I feel like my *kitten* is hanging out.

The only pair of shorts i own are worn to bed, and they will NEVER see the light of day. EVER. I hate my legs, I have always hated my legs and I will NEVER wear shorts. EVER.

You look great tho.

Odd! I just had the same NSV today, except I was jogging outside in broad daylight! That's huge for me! My legs wobble and jiggle to and fro but I wanted to get a tan and get my workout in!

You are so hot! Ummm here's my shorts. No awesome lift gifs. Maybe in a few weeks.

Nevermind, picture is huge and I don't have time right now.

Welllll, my home is my gym so wearing shorts to the gym is not a problem :happy:

But....I just went on vacation and I wore shorts! The last time I went on vacation, I wore hideously large shorts that hardly showed a smidgeon of my leg. This time I wore short shorts, khaki shorts, long shorts..all kinds of shorts!

Yeah, I hate my legs and never used to show them. But it's hot out, and I don't like most people, so what do I care if they need therapy after seeing my varicose veined glaringly white chubby legs? Anyway, that's what I keep telling myself as I force myself to wear shorts this summer.

T-Rexess should wear shorts if they want to, they can always eat anyone who gives them any weird looks.



And CrankMeUp, I am so happy for you that you are getting past those anxieties, I know it's really tough.
