be happy with my legs

some people would love to have skinny legs…. others like me… not so much…. :( I wish i had more calves. My boyfriend and my friends say that my legs have absolutely nothing wrong with them, that they look good, but i wonder if they just say that to make me feel better, i mean it does help with my self-esteem, but I’m still not 100% there yet. :P

I was finally able, for the first time in years, to bare my legs and wear a swishy long-and-short skirt, and bare my stomach as well at the Faire. It was great! Especially when I could pull my skirt up to wade in the fountain…it was soooo hot!

A customer told me that olive oil works great for dry skin (I knew that, my dad uses it on his knuckles to keep them from cracking!) but she als osaid that sesame oil works even better! I dunno….however, my legs are doing pretty well, and hopefully I’ll be able to show them off this summer and go to the pool with my friend and her kids, like I promised!!

I haven’t shaved in a long time…but I’ve also been taking shorter showers with WARM water, lotioning up afterwards, and drinking a glass of water. And guess what? It’s working!! they’re hairy, but they’re pretty much breakout-free! YESSS!!
:)
oh, and if they start getting worse again, I’ll take the Yahoo Answers’ advice and try using baby lotion <3

I find that the more stressed I get, the more I scratch and the more my legs break out. I can’t really help it right now…but I’ll work on it <3

so many itchy bug bites = bad news. Ah well…that’s what bandaids and antiseptic are for.

this season is generally kinder to my legs than any other. I can finally wear “skimmers” (long shorts) (why they call them that, I don’t know) which is good! Soon I can tan my legs and they will be much happier and healthier. just one of the many reasons I love summer!

It works!! and I didn’t break out or anything!! <3 <3 <3 !!! I' mso glad...it works very well! Dry Skin Veet! woot!

I haven’t shaved in a lonnnng time now…a month? and month and a half? and my hair has stopped growing, and I wear pants, so nobody cares. My legs are a lot better, especially b/c a lot of my stress has stopped (I think that has a LOT to do with it), I’m using Aveeno, I’m not shaving, I’m drinking more water/tea etc, and I’m taking warm showers instead of really hot ones (an added plus: it doesn’t seem so ubercold when I get out of the shower!!!) I’m really glad things are working so well. Maybe I can get this to last past spring into summer, and FINALLY go swimming again!!! wheee!

I swear I’m a masochist…at least a little bit. Why else would I be killing my legs still?! sighs They’re so much better than before, but now my calves are acting up!! Not shaving has been helping…after all, it’s almost december. who’s going to see them?!
