I’ve began carrying shorts for the primary time, aged 39. I’ve bought some critical legs on me – and by critical, I imply humorous. They’re quick, they’re thick, they’re hench. They’re the kind of legs that when individuals see them, they assume: “I might need ham for lunch.”
However with maturity comes a heady and more and more complicated relationship with satisfaction. My legs are huge whether or not I do weightlifting or not, however I do raise weights and it brings me excessive pleasure. On a great day, I can squat 1.5 occasions my body weight, which I’m conscious is a mega-brag. So I’m pleased with these mighty jambons. I’m grateful that they work for strolling – and generally barely sooner strolling.
Then again, I’m much less proud. I don’t care anyplace close to as a lot as I'd have accomplished a decade in the past whether or not you fancy me, and even should you’re repulsed by me. I don’t thoughts if my legs are pre-waxed or full-wolf. I don’t thoughts in the event that they’re scratched or bruised from clumsiness or adventures. I don’t love cellulite, however I’ve bought rather more vital issues to have feelings about. So why on earth was I nonetheless not carrying shorts?
Half a lifetime of feeling disgusting about bigness, is why. Listening to actually good ladies in my life, together with bodily good skilled athletes, to today, saying “I don’t need large legs, although” is why. However I don’t have a look at large legs and have destructive ideas, and the extra individuals who agree with me, the higher the world will probably be, frankly. The wind and the solar feels so beautiful on my trunks. In the event you’ve bought large ol’ yams, free them! Present them the sky!
