If you focus too much on that jiggle, the negativity will permeate your whole life, and can really prevent you from being happy. She was really right on with that observation.
Yeah, also not a self-esteem issue for me (anymore...it certainly was when I was younger!). I have the WORST time finding bottoms that work when I run because of the chub rub. I now pretty much only wear capri length leggings for running and thankfully, I live in a cool place or summer would be torture. I find that it's less of an issue for me when biking than when running, but it's still there.

You guys think bike shorts are bad? Try tri shorts! Almost all of them are SOOO unflattering in the legs. Ugh!
