Actually, I can guarantee never. But, do I feel good about how I look and comfortable in my own skin? Absolutely! Whether you are skinny or hugely fat or chubby, like me, I think what is important is to be a.) healthy (physically and mentally) and b.) comfortable and confident in your own skin. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401291155656495556.post-3575204257876898362011-04-14T07:38:13.289-05:002011-04-14T07:38:13.289-05:00I agree with Shannon! I've been where you are ...I agree with Shannon! I've been where you are before and running has totally changed my life... mentally and physically. I not only look better but I also feel better about myself in general. Running isn't for everyone though, but even 20-30 minutes of cardio (walking, ellipical, biking, whatever you like!) 3 times a week will help a lot!! Or, try Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred.. I've been doing it for 10 days now with my mom (who previously didn't exercise) and we both love it! And it's only 20 minutes!<br /><br />Anyway, sorry..I know you didn't ask for unsolicited exercise advice :) I just know exactly how you feel and I know what helped me. Plus I've been visiting your blog for awhile and I don't think I've ever commented, so hi! :)Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516007654147045974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401291155656495556.post-79777781823918900652011-04-13T18:38:28.059-05:002011-04-13T18:38:28.059-05:00Please tell me if you find good shorts!

...Oh girl, I'm sorry that you feel like this. <br /><br />Shorts? Are evil. I'm convinced no one really looks good in them.Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811697675090627618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401291155656495556.post-56606437777772204042011-04-13T15:24:31.870-05:002011-04-13T15:24:31.870-05:00I used to be the same way - I would not wear short...I used to be the same way - I would not wear shorts if my life depended on it. But, then I started the couch to 5k plan and started jogging regularly. The pounds started coming off and I eventually wore shorts. Thing is, I still don't like them, but I can wear them now and not be too embarrassed. My point is, YOU are in full control of how you feel or look in shorts. Yes, genetics does play a part in it - that's why no matter how hard I try, the cellulite will not fall off my thighs. But, you can still take control of yourself and try to change the things you don't like.<br /><br />I heard something once that stuck with me... <br /><br />It's HARD being fat. It's HARD exercising and eating healthy. Pick your hard.<br /><br />Keep your chin up!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12498620939022231672noreply@blogger.com
