As the summer months approach and the weather gets hotter, i typically get really self conscious because i am a plus size lady. I have cellulite on my legs, big legs, wide hips, a belly etc and the thought of putting on a pair of shorts scares me. I usually wear dresses in the summer because i can hide all my problem areas but sometimes its windy and i run the risk of marilyn monroe-ing and showing my underwear and stretch marked belly to the world. This year i refuse to let my insecurities hold me back from being comfortable. Today is the first day of the year that i will put on shorts and wear them out of the house loud and proud and it definitely wont be the last. I dont care if my cellulite offends people. This is me and my body and i love myself. I refuse to be hot and uncomfortable for the next 4 months because im scared that people will be grossed out by my legs. Ive come to realize as i get older that it doesnt matter what other people think. And tbh people dont even really care. Sure i might get some funny looks by some who think maybe i shouldnt wear shorts. But to each their own, i want to be comfortable.
