in Introduce Yourself
I lost a bunch of weight, did a lot of training and currently doing a body building program but today I took this pic and I don't like the way I look at all! I'm 115 pounds at 5'5" and my body fat percentage is 20% but in this picture my legs look too thick! I freaked out a little. Do you think I should lose more weight? what the hell is this!?

    It's probably because those are short-shorts, and your thighs are right about to connect to your butt. That's about it. Your thighs aren't fat, they are doing what thighs do... Touchin' your butt.

    You are suffering from body dysmorphia.

    Lol. It's just that in my head I looked so much more skinnier and this kind of burst my bubble.

    It's the cut of the shorts on the side that are making your thighs look "bigger" at the top. You're fine! They do not look thick at all.

    I second the body dysmorphia suggestion. You look healthy and fit.

    Jennifer aniston is 117 pounds and her legs look so much skinner than mine, we're the same height. Maybe it's the cellphone camera?

    Her shorts are also a tad lower on her body. Don't compare yourself to celebs, trust me. It's not a healthy route to go in terms of viewing yourself.

    She's wearing different shorts. It's the cut of your shorts and how you're standing. Really, you're legs look great. Don't judge your body by one frame of a picture.

    I think you look HOT! I would not change your weight to look better. You can't look better. You look wonderful. Focus on something else, like running a good 10k or taking up a sport you love. There are lots of great things you can do for your body. Becoming more of a "jock" and knowing your "personal best" for a bike race or something... trying to improve that makes way more sense to me than focusing on weight when you already look so great.

    Tone can be sexy. Perhaps you would enjoy seeing more tone? (Not that you seem to need any from this photo...)

    What do you think of that suggestion, @karenkasbi?

    I don't think they look way skinnier than yours at all. Like others have said, it is the cut of the shorts and how you are standing. And don't compare yourself to others, even at the same height.

    Yes, don't be so critical of yourself, but how bout not being critical of others either. Tearing others down is not necessary. Not cool.
