DragonSquatter

I'm only doing this because I love you Crank... Srsly...

I would not do this for anyone else..

I don't have a full length mirror, so I just put my leg up on the countertop. (p.s. sorry bout the belly fat rolls... workin' on that)

Sexy legs

I figure if the people at they gym have time to point out how bad they think I look in shorts they aren't doing what they should be at the gym.

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.

It's good that you said this, because that is exactly what I was assuming.

IMO, if you look bad in shorts, but are at the gym, busting your butt, day in and day out, trying to fix it you deserve more respect.

Thanks for posting this, I know I need to get out of my own head!

Before this summer, I hadn't worn shorts beyond my fenced in back yard in years. (I also haven't worn a swimsuit in even more years, but that's a whole other level/forum thread!)

I am working on it these days and on weekends, weather permiting, I am wearing fitness skirts. I even wore one to the zoo over the weekend! (Major win for me!) I hope to be in shorts in the next few weeks, now that I am getting back on track with my lifting!

Thanks for putting this out here! As soon as I don a pair of shorts at the gym, I'll add my own bad *grass* pic to the thread! :happy:

right!

and it had nothing to do with people at the gym pointing anything out. It's more about the self talk in my own head, as I think it is for many of us.

OP.

Feel free to wear shorts to my gym any day.
I creep discretely....

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.

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 think you look fabulous and should be proud to show off your legs! I do know what you mean about seeing pics, sometimes I see them and it takes a secobd to realize its me. My own husband didn't recognize a pic I had up a week ago. Maybe if I hadn't cut my head off he would have known it was me...lol

Mine after 2 daughters 19 months apart youngest is 15 months old, I'm in my swimsuit bottoms since I don't own a skirt . still not sure how I feel about them, I have lost 27lbs so far have 14 to go .

I'm 29 hoping I can still rock some shorts

You look fantastic! Everyone has done a great job!!

Clean shorts before, dirty shorts after! :laugh:

Now I am working on heavier lifts and soon to be shorter shorts! :bigsmile:

OP your legs look great! I know that wasn't the purpose of this post, but facts are facts :laugh:


I prefer to live in my bikini. Occasionally I will suck it up and wear a skirt to work or my Lululemon yoga shorts to the gym. Some people may have a problem with it, but I worked hard for it- I might as well show the fruits of my blood, sweat and tears.

I can do shorts I just dont feel comfortable in tank tops because of the arm flab ... I cant wait til I can work out in tank tops and not care
