I thought my legs would always be big and full of cellulite, luckily squats and all these cool exercises exist 🙌🏼 BUT it definitely wasn’t easy and still it’s not easy to change them, probably I’ll never have legs like a model but I’m just happy with them the way they are because they’re M I N E❤️
Now you probably want to know what I did to lose that stubborn fat, right? I answered that question a lot of times but some of you are new here so I understand 😘Obviously clean eating and exercising 5-6 times per week was something what made me lose over 100lbs. As I think about it now I see I did everything to change my legs… they were the only part of my body I hated so much so I was jogging, doing light cardio, intense cardio, bbg, HIITs, lifting, bodyweight exercises- just EVERYTHING, I was switching my routines very often because I was scared of hitting plateau and I wanted DESPERATELY to see the difference BUT keep in mind you can’t spot reduce fat, you can’t make your body lose fat from just one specific area and it all depends on genetics. I didn’t know that before so instead of one leg day a week I had 2 or 3. Now I know that no matter how hard we try and what exercises we do we can’t just lose fat from one part of our body, my legs are still slightly bigger than the rest of my body and even if I lost 20 more pounds and they got smaller they still would be bigger comparing to my upper body but that’s just how I am and I have to accept that. The other day my friend was complaining she has no waist even though she lost weight, I never payed too much of attention to waists so I couldn’t understand her problem, I tried to cheer her up and I told her that my thighs are still bigger than I expected them to be after losing weight and she said ‘but that’s good, that’s a womanly shape!’ and suddenly I realized how stupid our insecurities sometimes are, for me it’s a reason to hate my body (hypothetically) but for other girl it might be something she dreams of having. Since I had that conversation with her I started to like my thighs more and see ONLY the good side of them being bigger. I love my body even more now haha I didn’t know that was even possible!
