yesterday i went shopping to look for work pants at old navy and i went into a state of shock when i saw my thighs in the full length mirror. There is so much jiggly fat on them, and the back is all cottage cheese. and im not really that fat anywhere else. what the f***? where does this come from? and i have been going to the gym and concentrating on my legs since september. Good thing the wedding dress hides the legs. So depressed i did not want to go out at all last night, i stayed in and ate pasta and chocolate.

I have fat thighs, vericose veins and cottage cheese!

The only thing that makes it look a little better is tanning and Neutrogina cellulite cream. I don't know if it was just me but I did see some improovement.

I've been tanning and I think overall (well it maks me feel better) I see definitely an improvement with the varicose veins and cottage chesse. Not as noticable. BRING ON THE FAKE AND BAKE!!!

I have the opposite problem. My legs are ok, so of course that's the part that gets covered by the dress. it's my BELLY that's the problem!!!!!! I'm doing about 1200 crunched a week or more and dieting bigtime. it's helping, but I only have 6 months left!

With ya there but only 2 months left...I have had this belly forever no matter what diet I am on and what I do to work out...trying to accept it but damn it's hard and makes me sad!!!!!! Legs are fine since I was a dancer for years!!!!

This happens to me all the time.. I am so psyched to go out on the weekends, but then it comes time to choose what to wear, and my mood goes downhill fast. Thank god a wedding gown is forgiving down there!

YES, YES, and YES! And for some reason my reaction to this depression is the same as yours...comfort food! Its a vicious cycle.

Re: Have you ever gotten depressed after seeing your thighs in the mirror?

I don't get depressed by seeing them in the mirror, because I've programmed myself to think of dept store lighting as a hologram. It's not real. It makes everything look worse than it really is. That being said, I do get depressed when the fat in my thighs manifests itself in other ways. Example: I was sitting on the couch in my pjs (shorts and t-shirt) yesterday and I accidentally hit my thigh with the tv remote. Let me tell you, there were ripples! I did it again, and saw another wave of ripples. I hit FH's thigh, and no ripples! How depressing is that?!

I am convinced the mirrors in the dressing rooms are made to make thighs look gross. --Makes no sense as far as marketing goes, but I really think I look A LOT better when I look in the mirror at home-as opposed to dressing room mirrors.
