I’ve been feeling rather disappointed in my perceived lack of change in my thighs since losing 55lbs. My waist, arms, face, etc. have all shrunk dramatically, but my legs still feel huge to me.
But today I was weeding our garden (standing in a squat and leaning over) and my husband came out and was like “wow! With you standing like that I can see the muscles in your thighs bulging a lot! They look awesome!”
Totally made my whole day, and has given me a new perspective on my thighs. They are strong and full of muscle, and I can stand in a squat to weed our garden for many minutes straight, something I never could do before.
It made me realize that running and doing squats and wall sits and all the other things that I didn’t always love were making a difference, even when I felt like they weren’t.
When you’re feeling discouraged (or that damn dysmorphia is kicking in), don’t forget that we are our own worst critics, and every good choice you’ve made has had a positive impact on your body.
