Thin thighs - maybe not your heart's desire

[SadieKate]

A little silver lining to my day.

Yipppee!
I have always thought...how come there are those women w/ round, squarish bodies but very toned legs. And knowing (not judging--because it is people I know or know about) but knowing these women dont' run or bike or exercise. They just genetically have these nice legs. And I have the tree trunks from hell!

But maybe these big ole thighs will pay in the long run!

Yes, RESULT, it is good to have Thunder Thighs! Yippee!

That's me, unfortunately! My thighs seem absolutely huge to me right now--after all the running and swimming and biking I've been doing they really bulked up. I just measured them. 21.5 inches. And in spite of all the exercise I still have about ten extra pounds of flab around my stomach. I'm doomed.

Well, mine measure out at 25 inches each, so yours sound small to me!

I will always have thunder thighs whether I'm cycling or not. Maybe now I can start bragging about it?

Judging from our past TE threads (with photos) about "Thunder thighs", I'd venture to guess that 90% of the women here on TE who claim they have 'thunder thighs' really just have normal thighs.
Why do we allow media/advertising pictures of emaciated fashion models to taint our perception of what normal is?

Perhaps because 99% of pants don't fit our thighs? That's fact, not perception, at work.

Most likely that's true.

Well the key is that now you will be around a long time to brag about it.
