    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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 think you're amazing, and your gif and your shorts are amazing too. :flowerforyou:

    This is the first summer I've really worn shorts comfortably. Here I am:

    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.

    pretty sure you dropped that bar...sound the lunk alarm!!! #sarcasm #antiPF

    LOL! yeah, it's cheap and suits my purposes for now.

    I grunt, and drop the bar a bit...never seems to bother them.

    I don't wear shorts in public, but mostly because I am so pale and I have vericose veins in my right thigh and calf :/ I have just started wearing tank tops in public, but I actually feel like my arms are more flabby now that I'm working out! WHY!?!

    I totally get that!!! It's all about your perception of you! I am the same way. People keep telling me how great I look and when I look at myself...I still see that fat chick. YAY YOU for stepping outside your comfort zone and putting on the shorts and WEARING THEM IN PUBLIC.

    I think that the Spartan run was the first time I wore shorts (above the knee) for the first time in public.

    Way to embrace those thighs!!! and also High-5 on the big plates, RAAAOOORRRRRR!!!
