Throughout my weight loss journeys my thighs have always been kind of problematic. I realized today that the problem was all in my head. I have huge thighs. Always have had. Even when the rest of my body, tummy, arms, neck, waistline were slim and skinny, my thighs were fleshy and big.
I have big butts too. Big and round. They too have always been like that. my butts are not a problem for me though. I must say I love them.
My thighs however I don't understand. They never get skinny when I lose weight. They always move from being FAT AND HUGE to be TONED AND HUGE. Picture a Serena Williams thighs and butts on a much smaller frame!
In my mind I picture the fat stored in my thighs as being so settled, like they've been there for so long that they belong there forever. They've gotten stronger that me, they've hardened up and they're unmovable. So I always gave up on them.
Also the truth is that I hardly stay on a serious diet more than 3 months.
I guess I was being to fatalistic.
Since my new journey is going to be a year long one on a treadmill I have decided to see my thighs from another viewpoint. After all, it's just fat right?
