Feel Great in Shorts This Summer

Feel Great In Shorts This Summer? WHAT?

I NEVER wore shorts.

Never.

I was so self-conscious about my legs and all my thoughts about how they were too big, too bumpy, and too flabby. Plus, I’d heard all the teasing. Thick Thighs. Fat Thighs. Thunder Thighs. Drumstick Legs.

Now – I live in Louisiana – so you can imagine how hot it is in the summers here. And I would never wear shorts. I ran a half marathon in the middle of summer and still wouldn’t wear shorts. I was the Queen of Capris y’all! I also wouldn’t wear dresses or skirts because I just hated the way my exposed legs looked.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot this summer because – I WORE SHORTS. Actually – I have worn shorts quite a few times in the last couple of months.

So, you may ask what’s changed.

Yes, I have lost some weight – BUT I was this weight before and still had all the above thoughts about my thighs. Spoiler alert – our thoughts about our body are not directly proportional to our weight. WE may still have LOTS of negative thoughts about our bodies NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE WEIGH.

What changed is that I did INTENTIONAL work on loving my body. My wonderful, human, post 2 baby, over 40 year old body. It took work. It took a daily practice of looking at my least favorite parts of my body – letting all the negative thoughts come up – and then purposefully moving those negative thoughts to neutral and then to positive.

It looked like this. I hate my thighs –> I can consider it is possible not to hate my thighs –> human thighs come in all shapes and sizes –> I have human thighs –> these thighs work for me –> these are my human thighs and they are just fine.

This is how I started wearing shorts. My feelings are positive because my thoughts are now (purposefully) more positive.
