Gap between my legs

I want one I want one! - Better cut back on the pies!

Cr@p...now I want pie

Ooops sorry! Me too come to think of it! Oh the pain I put myself through! :explode:

this "thigh gap" thing is still going?

What's wrong with Elle Macpherson surfing, kayaking and jogging with her 70+ year old father? enjoying sun and waves with her family? She's almost 50! Good for her, whatever her legs look like. They work. Quite well, apparently.

Running. That did it for me. I never had one when I rowed, even though I weighed a stone less than now.

I have 34 inch hips, so narrow by most standards.

I don't worry about my thighs too much though because I have an apple shaped body. I'm overweight for my size and my thighs don't touch.

That was me too when I was overweight. My thighs might have touched when I stood with my ankles together 50 pounds ago - I don't know because it never occurred to me that I needed to check - but they never, ever rubbed when I walked. I never had the "pones" of fat that some overweight women have on their outer thighs either. It has to do with fat distribution, as well as bone structure, and I never carried much excess fat on my legs. I did, however, have a spare tire around my middle large enough to fit a dump truck.

Still, I can understand where the OP is coming from. I've always wanted a small waist and will never have it because I'm relatively short in the torso and there isn't enough room between my rib cage and pelvis for a well defined waist. Knowing that doesn't stop me from wanting one.

I'm sorry for some of the negative snippy answers you received. I too have always wished that my thighs had that "gap" not because I want to look anorexic or look like a teenager, just to get rid of the discomfort that comes from your thighs rubbing together. For anyone who hasn't experienced it, it is very sore and uncomfortable and can actually interfere with some activities. I don't think my body structure will ever allow for it but hopefully as I lose weight some of it will come off my inners thighs and make it a bit more bearable.

My thoughts exactly... first thing that popped into my mind isn't suitable for this forum.

question for OP - "thigh gap" like this?

Anyone who says they think a gap between the thighs is "discusting" or anything along that line is jealous in my opinion. Id kill for it!

Funny, didn't see anyone saying it was "discusting". Don't know what that means either.

As for those of us that don't dig the unhealthy protruding bone and underdeveloped thigh look -- to each his own.

Stand with your legs slightly further apart.

This is my favorite response. I totally agree. I mean, yes it is possible for a lot of people - not everyone - but if you are at a healthy body weight and body fat % and your thighs still touch, it's not a big deal?
Mine do but I've got a big sturdy build (but low body fat and am fit and healthy) and if I really don't want them to touch, I can just widen my stance a bit. :happy:

Exactly!

I was thinking this morning about this thread and how someone said she sees this everywhere she goes. I tend to wear pretty tight-fitting jeans and because I'm actually at a pretty healthy weight, generally-speaking, I don't have especially large legs. The way my jeans fit there is an illusion that my thighs don't quite touch. But ONLY in tightish jeans. Any other clothing, naked or in a bathing suit, they touch.

I don't think it is wrong for you at all to set a personal goal as having a gap between your thighs; I don't know who really enjoys rubbing a hole in their jeans in that particular area. However, as stated above I do agree that some people are just not built to have the gap. Perhaps you should try and find a weight that is healthy and that you are comfortable with and see if the gap comes then?

OMG! This was ME! I used to rub holes in my jeans from my legs rubbing and it would RUIN them! AND I couldn't wear dresses without the shorts or spanx with thigh control underneath or else my legs would rub together and get sore! I WANT the gap too, just not as much as :http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2079695/Elle-Macpherson-rides-waves-cutaway-wetsuit.html

That's really extreme! LOL....If I can lose enough inner thigh to not have them rub holes in my jeans, that's good enough for me! lol

I would love to be able to wear a dress or skirt all day and not worry about how bad my inner thighs will look after. My skin gets so irritated and bumpy afterwards from the rubbing together like you are talking about. I often dream of a gap between my thighs too but I'm not obsessive about it.

I have heard that riding horses for long periods of time can create a gap between the thighs. I haven't tried it, though.

LMAO!!
