I have big thighs....and it's ok....

So obviously, this post is NOT about crafts...lol....but that's ok....it's about big thighs... :)  This is what big thighs do to your favorite running shorts...

(yes I promise this is them on my arm, lol)  They've been patched several times and I refuse to give them up.  Needless to say, I patched them again.



I never used to have a hard time with having big thighs.  In school, I could press as much weight with my legs as the boys...even though I was half their size, and I never thought about having big thighs until I started modeling.  One day after a runway show, I was pulled into the office and told I needed to do something about my fat thighs....I was 5'9" and 118 lbs, but it didn't matter, my legs were too big.  I will never forget that day.  From then on I was self conscious of my legs. 

That's me on the right...with my "too big thighs"  HA!
Fast forward almost 20 years...It's been a fight to lose the weight gained from 3 kids, and life in general....
I kept thinking I just wish my thighs would GO AWAY!!  but then I started thinking...these thighs have carried me for 36 years.....they have bounced babies, climbed stairs, have run miles and miles, and will soon carry me through a half marathon.  They have built amazing muscle, and are strong beyond belief.  They can pedal a bike as many miles as I want to go, chase my children around the park, and have never let me down...

So if I have big thighs...good....I'm ok with it...because they are strong and healthy, and I will continue to build the muscle in them, so that they can chase my grand kids and great grand kids....
I guess what I'm trying to say is, everyone has something they wish they could change...sometimes you just have to change the way you look at it.

hugs,
