im just so paranoid about my legs. iv always felt that they were really short and disproportionate compared to the rest of my body. my dad always calls me 'fat legs' and both my bf and my ex have said that i have chunky legs and "legs like a man". whenever i lose weight it just drops off my top half but my legs stay just as chubby...
They just look like normal legs, hardly fat! Difficult to tell when they are covered up though.

her calves I am assuming?
They are bigger than mine lol but again - genetics.


yeah im talking about my calves. they just seem HUGE compared to my slight frame. and btw im not white, im chinese. which makes it worse because all of my chinese relatives have the skinnest legs :frown:

I was actually going to make a quick edit saying;
Asian people except chinese have small calves lol
but I told it's genetics.
They dont look fat, they are fine. You look pretty sexy to me :smile:

i absolutely hate my legs. my body is really out of proportion so im skinny on top but my legs are really chunky and short. do they look really bad? what can i do to make them look skinnier/longer? obviously with summer coming up everyone's gonna be in skirts and for once i dont want to have to hide away in jeans!

Your boyfriend, ex and dad are mean.

I feel your pain though, black tights and heals as others have said.

Yeah, I'm the same. Whenever I have tried to lose weight it comes off my top half :rolleyes:

NO, but OP I don't think your legs are big, they look nice to me :biggrin:

ok, maybe not all but of the asians I've seen chinese people with some massive ass calves, never seen south asians with big ass calves
as I mentioned before, your calves connect really low, so even if you became really lean they would still look "big" compared to the rest of you.
but it's minor issue. you look fine otherwise.

If you mean her calves, then no.
I've already explained why [how her calves attach] they look relatively big.
but then she is white, and white people have big calves anyway, so relative to whites it's very normal.

My god your posts in this thread are utter bull.
