They're not my legs!

Even when I was bigger my calves were probably one of my best features. I've always walked/cycled or been horse riding which helped keep them in shape, sure still fat but not wobbly (although my thighs were!).
In the summer I've lived in vests and knee-length denim shorts. Last summer I was wearing a UK size 18. By the end of summer they were getting too loose and so early this spring I bought some 14's. Didn't wear them because of the weather so when I popped them on the other day was pleasantly surprised to find if I don't wear a belt, chances are they will fall down!
Popped into the same shop I bought the denim shorts from, decided I was going to be daring and try a shorter pair. Took in a 12 and 14. Popped the 12's on and really for the first time, the weight loss hit me. It sounds vain of me to say, but I actually stood and stared at my legs for a good few minutes, I even muttered to myself "They're not my legs!". I still have a bit of a muffin top but as the shorts aren't tight I put it down to them being quite low waisted, luckily I've still got some weight left to shed so hopefully they will be perfect come summer when I can wear them. Never did I think I could pull off short shorts, but, well, can I?
Down from 179lbs to 149lbs, lost about 2" from my thighs and 5" from my waist and stomach!

The shorts look fantastic on you and you have a great pair of legs. I happen to like some meat/muscle on the legs. I don't think anyone finds skinny legs attractive. So go on and rock your short shorts and congrats on your weightloss.0
