Ah! Short-shorts are a part of my uniform! what do i do?

Question

Alright..my legs are extremely fat, but I have that ugly bumping fat that some people get. I joined the cross-country team 2 weeks ago, and just found out what the uniforms look like. The shorts are practically shorter than my underwear. I don't have attractive legs, I have no idea what to do, or if there is anything to do...

Answer 1

Wear some kind of support tights or pantyhose. I'm not sure that's healthy for the kind of running you're doing but you will look better. I agree with another answerer here, if your looks are that important to you, it may be better to quit the team.

Sorry!

Answer 2

First of all, don't worry about it so much!  If you wear it with confidence, regardless of what you looks like, you'll be fine.  I was on the track team and there were a lot of heavier girls, we had to wear short shorts and no one thought anything of them or teased them behind their backs or anything like that.

But, it might make you feel better and a little more covered up if you wore some spandex under your shorts.  You could wear the ones that cover your whole leg, but you'll probably feel really over heated.  So I would suggest getting some spandex shorts that go half way down your thigh, then you put your uniform shorts over them.  You can find them at any sports store.

Kudos to you for joining the team!

Answer 3

Do you have pale skin?  If so, get some good fake tan or have a spray tan at a salon.

Tanned legs look slimmer than un-tanned ones - it'll also disguise any dimples too.

If you have a spray tan, they can do "Double Dipping" where day 1 you have an all over spray, the next day you go back and they spray on the definition, so you can have shaped calves, a six pack, etc etc. It's pretty amazing what they can do!

Answer 4

first off don't quit that's crazy. lol. but i know what you mean about stuff that is to small. I'm around lifeguards all day and some get suit that fits and some want them to look like string bikinis.  they role and make them smaller. In training and competition you need to be comfortable. i would suggest some bike shorts underneath and talk to your coach and tell them your not trying to be a pain just don't want to wear something you don't feel comfortable in. when i was 9 years old my b***s started growing and growing and growing by the time i was 11  i was a DDD. and there is no way i would play volley ball in a string bikini. i would get a black eye.lol.. good luck and have a great day.

Answer 5

Tell the coach you dont think the uniforms are appropriate and they're too short. This happened in beach volleyball, we were all wearing string bikinis and this overweight girl complained that they were not appropriate for playing volleyball in. Then we had to wear tank tops and shorts.  

Answer 6

Quit the team.....or just accept that other people will have hang ups as well :)

Answer 7

Tada!
