My left leg is smaller from atophy from injury from a car crash. I recently was injured on the right knee and sholder (crime) so my right leg is swollen now. Now I am very lopsided in size on my thighs and calves. I hide this from others and I am ashamed of how I look... so we are having very similar reactions to very different situations. I can share what is wrong online because the snide remarks and cruel laughter from real life does not happen here.

Thanks for this post because I would not have been brave enough to admit I share those feelings without your honest leadership happening first. I try to concentrate on the positive self talk "Beauty comes from within" or "kindness is the real beauty" but when I wear shorts I find shame, vulunernbility and ugliness in the mirror. It is not my facial wrinkles or grey hair that bothers me it is my crooked unmatched legs that make me feel bad about myself. Both little or both fat is ok; one little and one fat is just not... normal. I wear pants or long skirts and I still worry others can see "what" is wrong with me anyway.
