I keep reminding myself that at least I have legs, but a lot of girls make fun of how fat they are. I'm not fat, I don't think. I'm 5'5" and 105 lb. Which makes my fat legs all the more apparent. I don't know what to do. I work out, I try losing weight, and it's still awful. In the pic I have attached you can see it's disastrous even when I work out (which I do) and wear super high heels and black stockings (and it's worse without those things). I always thought this was something that was only apparent to me, until I saw a bunch of anonymous stuff on the internet making fun of them. As you can tell towards the top of the pic, I'm not fat, but my legs make me seem it. (or at least severely out of proportion.) fat legs?So two questions: 1. Will this defect severely make things hard for me in terms of being attractive/being sexy? 2. Is there ANYTHING I can do other than liposuction to help?

Oh, and be honest. I'm not just looking for compliments, I'm fully aware that I have unattractive legs. Mainly looking for help.

I also realize they're not "fat", just really disproportionate to the rest of my body, which annoys me. If I lose weight, it's still the same bad ratio.
I'm so self conscious about my fat legs on a thin girl. What to do?
Your legs are NATURAL for a woman. It's natural for a woman to have legs that are proportionately larger than the rest of her body.
And healthier too!
You'll live longer and you have a lower risk of heart disease.
What's UNNATURAL is the "skinny jeans" fad, which I suspect is where your anxiety would ultimately be traced to. The majority of women cannot wear these jeans comfortably. Not only that, but they cause medical problems.
And as I pointed out, girls who have naturally skinny legs are less healthy, so you should be thanking God that you've got good genes! And because it's your GENES that make your legs the way they are, this is why you can't change the ratio...
Also, a lot of women seem self-conscious about their legs -- if you search on the Internet, you'll find just as much negativity about skinny legs as about fat legs. I'm not a woman, but this tells me that women are paranoid about their legs in general...?
Well, the legs alone are fine, but you said they're disproportionate with the rest. In which case you should be asking about exercises to see what you can do.

That's part of what I'm asking. Would you know anything that would do this? I can define, but I want them thinner.
Well, in the picture we can't SEE the rest of your body, so there's no way for us to know about the proportion thing. However, you legs look completely normal and attractive. The rest of you would have to be INSANELY skinny in order for your legs to look weird. I'm not sure that's even possible. Either you are fishing for compliments (no matter how much you deny it) or your image of yourself is seriously messed up.
If you genuinely think there is a problem and you are really asking for help you should put up a picture where people can see your upper body as well.

Oh, I thought showing up to my waist was OK but yeah, good point. lol. I have BDD so maybe that's the issue but some days I feel they're fine and other days I think they are just completely off-scale. but thanks for your resposne!
If you have BDD THAT is your problem, not the proportion of your legs. I think whoever made fun of your legs was being mean and trying to get you to worry about it. You have NOTHING to worry about. Even if you can't make yourself stop thinking about it easily, try to know that to other people, there is no problem. Your legs and your proportions are FINE. It's just your mindset, so you should try to overcome that.
No it actually is. What would be the point of it wasn't? The quality probably looks that way because it was from a photographer friend's shoot, he needed someone to photograph.
But with that kind of build there's no way you can be 5' 5" and 105. I have a friend who is 5' 6" who is extremely skinny and is at least 120. And I'm 5' 2" thin and 110.
Exactly, that's what I mean. They're grossly out of proportion. My upper half is very thin. I'm also petite boned in general, but I swear this is all true. Maybe it's more like 107 or something, I haven't checked lately.
Yes, anyone who knows me, knows I hate the way they look. I try not to talk about it a lot but as you've mentioned, they're really really different from how someone of my weight is supposed to look. I feel like they are the legs of a chubby or overweight person.
From the way the picture looks, the only way your legs would be disproportionate to anyones body is if they were very top heavy. girls are beezys and they will prey on your insecurities. I'm sure your body is completely proportional. especially if you work out. all work pays off some howw.
Hm, I am way more concerned with my calves than thighs ( not sure if that's what you meant, lol). But no, I've got nice sized boobs but a super narrow torso which I think makes this worse. I've heard that some people find this to be a turn on but I don't see how. I think it's so weird looking. lol. but yeah, girls are awful, especially if they're on an anonymous forum on the 'net!
Woooow I want to be you! calf muscles that aren't to small make legs look way more feminine! I do calf raises everynight:) and if you have a good sized chest, thin waist, and legs that are bigger than just bone with flesh then you have an hour glass shape which is what every woman would kill for!
