gad, first of all, sorry about the low quality photos. my camera's settings are a hot mess right now. grrrr!
moving on.. look at those thighs, my mamasieta's. look at em! can I admit something? I had a bestie girlfriend, with all the love in her heart, tell me about a year ago how great I looked and that "my thighs didn't even touch!" and you know what? I had never, ever, ever, ever even considered that. I never had looked at my thighs, or anyone else's thighs, and noticed whether they touched or not. and now, now all I see is that my thighs touch. crazy how if you are unaware of something, it would never cause you pause. but once you're aware, it can change everything you see. ignorance is bliss? in the case of touching thighs? YESSSS!
that said, ignorance is not bliss in the case of me ignoring the fact that I've packed on TWENTY pounds [yes. it is twenty pounds. I could take a pic of the scale, and prove it, but I'm going to save us both that] cause I have been living in bliss, eating a lot, of whatever I please, not exercising, at all, and saying in my head "oops, another 5 pounds. I'll lose it, when I decide to lose it". problem is those 5 pounds times 4 are now 20 pounds, and def not something I can just drop off with one run up the street.
and so.. I wear a lot of fat pants. ie. leggings. ya, ya, yea, I know. leggings are so in. and so are over-sized shirts which is a blessing and a curse all rolled into "yes, please, I'll have dessert too, my

I still think you look great but I totally know what you mean! The winter makes me SO LAZY.
For the record, I think you look fabulous!
I had a friend tell me once that if I can't see the toilet seat while peeing, then my thighs are too big.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I can't see the entire toilet when I'm peeing. Yeah, depressing.
haha, this post made me giggle.
but i think you look fabulous. you always do!
this is what i think - i'd rather have chocolate over carrots anyday. so leggings will just have to do ;).
Operation Bikini ... Come on you are gonna do this but even if you don't I think you are one if the most beautiful women. Inside and out! Loves you!
Now we're all going to go home and stare at our thighs, haha! Personally, I think you are gorgeous, but if anyone can do it you can!
xo, Yi-chia

You look great!!
I have always been one of those people that noticed if thighs touch only because mine have ALWAYS touched. Even when I was at my skinniest. I think my body is just destined for it, no matter how hard I try to fight. I should probably just accept it and move on. :)
Hi there - new follower form the linkup! Love your blog & can't wait to read more! Hope you have a great day :)

absolutely fabulous! I love everything about these pictures! You're gorgeous!
You have not gained 20 lbs! Don't fib! How come if I gained 20 lbs I would actually look fat and with your "20 lbs" you don't? Hmmm weird! Really though, you look great. My thighs have touched since I was born I think...booo for being thick on the bottom!
My thighs touched even when I was a skinny girl and I was always complaining about them. I've decided to live in blissful ignorance. I'm fabulous even with thick thighs!
You look beautiful and the leggings look great on you. :)
This cracked me up....don't be mad. I just couldn't help but laugh at your commentary!! You are one of the most gorgeous people I know...both in and out. 20lbs is just more love to be had!!!! And I love every pound of it!!
I, too, have gained about 25 lbs this year. Medical issues + plenty of delicious food = fat butt. However, you my dear, look fab!
So, you are pretty much just gorgeous, regardless of weight gain! I feel ya, though. I have packed on 20 lbs in he last year or so too and on a 5 1' frame it isn't pretty.
It's so easy to gain, and you don't really notice it until BAM you are 20 lbs more than you should be. At least that's how it works for me. And I love when the trainer at the gym tells me, you know now that you are over 30 its going to be harder to lose it. Ugh.
I'm feeling your pain - I just lost about 45 pounds for my wedding and have quickly gained like 15 back (10 alone on my honeymoon)! I think you look fab though!

Those leggings are awesome! Great look. And don't worry about the number on the scale, its all how you look/feel. Keeping up that gym routine will help you feel amazing and hopefully lower those lbs!
