I bought some gym shorts a month ago with no intention of every wearing them. I wore them this past weekend. Not at the gym, but around my father who was/is the root cause of all the emotional BS that triggered my overeating and self-esteem issues. He didn't say a word, other than to scold me for having a thigh tattoo he just now saw (that I've had for years).

I haven't worn shorts since I was 10 years old because I was so ashamed of my thighs. I am now 30. So, after 20 years... shorts are back in the wardrobe.

Congrats that awesome!!! I can't wait to revisit some things in my closet

Rock those shorts and the tattoo. You are a young chickee babe at 30.

**giggling** Only my opinion but, I hope the tattoo reveal was a big finger in the air to your dad. Bring on the shorts in the beautiful summer weather.

Wear whatever you want no matter what size you are is my motto. I wear shorts, bathing suits, short dresses. I don't care as long as I'm comfortable in them and feel okay about it.
