Does your amount of cellulite make you insecure?

Question

I am 19, 5'8", and 135 pounds. I eat pretty healthy (no gluten or dairy and lots of veggies), exercise moderately (I don't exercise as much as I should I must admit), and I'm pretty thin/average. But due to genetics, I have an immense amount of cellulite. It's everywhere. Above my knees, front of thighs, back of thighs, under my butt, on my butt, and on the sides of my butt. My friends can go and eat fast food all day and will have perfect bodies with no cellulite. And I don't even eat fast food and I have a ton. I'm not just saying this ladies. My cellulite is VERY noticeable. It makes me cry sometimes. I can't go out in a bikini even in front of my family because I'm embarrassed. I won't wear shorts outside even if it's 100 degrees. I'm scared to let a future boyfriend even see me naked; I feel that he will be grossed out and reject me. What do you ladies think? Is there anyone in my similar situation? I feel I'm alone.

Answer

No because i honestly dont care what people think of me. You could have the perfect body and someone would still find something to judge. Learn to be confident in yourself and love your body the way it is

Answer

These thighs are thunderous. I refuse to feel insecure with myself about it, and I definitely dont allow anyone power over me to make me feel insecure either.

Answer

I've always had bigger thighs and while my cellulite is not the worst, it is definitely still there. I have other body image issues too (who doesn't). But let me tell you, you probably think way worse about your body than anyone else does. Most ppl probably wouldn't even notice your "flaws". We are our own worst critic, and who is going to love our bodies if we don't? Would you say the things you think about yourself to your best friend or a family member? Definitely not. So stop saying them! It's easier said than done, that's for sure. I'm still working on body positivity and self love, but I'm a lot better than I used to be. Something that helped me is that I unfollowed all the Instagram/social media "models" and fitness ppl and replaced them with body positive activists and it has made a world of difference for my mental health. Might be something you can try! Good luck lady, just remember that this is a journey and self love doesn't happen overnight, but you will get there one day. Much love 💜

Answer

If you're 5'8" and 134, I think you're doing pretty damn good!! I'm 5'9" and 170, given a hell of a lot of that is boob... 😂

Answer

I've always had a lot on my thighs :( even at my thinnest/most fit. I used to ride horses, buck hay and all the chores that came along with that and was very active in general. I have never worn shorts in public and refuse swimming suits as well. Wish I had some advice, just know you are not alone. I am currently working on my body because I had gained some weight. Seems like it is coming off everywhere my big ol cottage cheese thighs! Ugh

Answer

Try making a coffee body scrub. It really helps!
