Hey guys. Tomorrow marks two weeks since my last run, and to be honest I'm going a little insane. I haven't gone this long without running in close to a year. Anyway, the reason that I've stopped running is to try to slim down my legs - specifically my left calf muscle. So here's a little bit of a comparison to try to keep me motivated.

| Thigh gap May '12 |
Yes, it's an old compassion photo, but my body hasn't changed much since May/June (in weight or measurements). To be honest, I
think I can see a bit of a difference. My calves are definitely slimmer, and maybe my thighs are a tad less 'bulky', but I can see the difference in my calves already. Sorry for the crappy photo quality - in both of them, really - but it's damn hard to get a straight-on leg photo when you're 6'1"
(I nearly fell over, multiple times).

| Flexing calves |
My right calf has lost basically all of that 'bulge', but it didn't have
that much to begin with. My left calf, of the other hand, is a piece of work. It's still progress, though. Hopefully I'll see that bulge slim down a little more at the one-month mark. I'm just so frikkin' over this muscle. It came up basically overnight in February, because I fiended my aerobic step and calf raises (to keep moving when standing still) way too hard, and
bam! Muscle. Sigh. So once they're back to how they used to be (there's pics in one of my first posts, of my legs in January), I'm dying to get back into my low-impact, no-resistance elliptical training, and potentially some flat-track walking. I dunno, I'm just dying to
move! But I f'ing want this muscle gone. I hate muscle. It is so foreign, they aren't my legs. I don't want to claw and scratch at them in disgust anymore. Ugh. Two more weeks, then I can run again. Just two more weeks.

I would completely die for your thighs. You can see a difference definitely.
ReplyDeletewhat do you feel is the best workout or exercise to slim down thighs?

ReplyDeleteI love you more bella, thanks for your comments. It is really hard, because I was never close to my parents and she was the first person I really trusted to open up to. i have a horrible feeling the next few weeks are going to be awful with uni ending and not having her anymore, eik.

honey you need to understand this, you are BEAUTIFUL. and why would i lie? im just a stranger to you, i know nothing about you and i don't need to make you happy. eating is not a treat, it's a necessity. and exercising isn't everything in the world, it's only one small part of it. so please honey, just go into your kitchen right now, grab something you wouldn't normally eat and enjoy it. don't make yourself feel guilty. you are allowed, i allow you. don't disappear off the face of the earth ok, don't let yourself die when you can live a happy life with friends and family.
ReplyDeletei'm french and i don't know how i came on your blog but i'm sad to see your photos...hope you are fine and not sick because thin as you are is too much, it's terrible...i think you don't see yourself as you are and probably you think you're fat or something like that...and it's wrong!you're young you must love yourself and your body and not try to be more thin...
ReplyDeleteMy love, stop it. You're dying, really. You just need to EAT and stop thinking about this thigh gap things it sucks. You're body is ugly like that. Do you even eat sometimes ?
ReplyDeletePlease Bella, I was a ballerina and I was anorexic. I know what you are going through. I know you hear this a lot but PLEASE listen, wake up and get help! You are too beautiful to do this to yourself. The first step is to cancel this internet account; It is going to ruin you and drive you to keep doing this. Please stop. Please Im begging you. Take care, xoxo
