Hey there! Well done! It's a long journey -- I know, i've lost 65 pounds. Even at a size 10 wearing size medium pearl izumi shorts I still have body image issues.

I was wearing mtb shorts because of my image issues and found that the extra fabric was causing irritation to the point of rubbing me bloody. I finally realized that I was going to dress for my sport and not worry about what other people thought. It's completely their issue and they don't have to look. Find the shorts that work for you. Wear them proudly and be happy to be on your bike.
