A few years ago I was working at night as an ESL teacher for the local adult school and every spring I would take my class out to teach them out to play softball. When I teach I usually wear a long sleeve shirt and tie, but when we go play softball I wear shorts. One of these evenings the principal of the school saw me and made the comment that I had nice legs. I laughed and probably would have taken it more seriously if she wasn't 72 years old. Through the years different people have told me the same thing and then they usually tell me it would be nice if the rest of my body matched my skinny legs!
I personally have never liked my legs and have always felt they were too skinny and my knees too knobby. But, like the others say I wish the rest of me would match my legs. (my youngest daughter said that exact thing last week) With all the running I have been doing in the past 2 years I now really like my legs. My calves have muscle, my thighs have muscles, and my quadriceps are really defined. I never knew what the quadriceps were before, but I had to look them up because I am impressed with my muscles in front of my upper legs. I want to keep up my running because I am starting to like my legs.
It sounds weird for me to say that since I have never liked my body. It has always been to thin or too fat or too out of proportion. A year ago I realized I had a butt and I liked that and now I know what quadriceps are since those are starting to impress me. I guess I should work on my belly now, but that hasn't worked out well in the past.
