Spandex...?

Question

I am going to play volleyball for a club team and on the team we have to wear spandex i have not really worn spandex i kinda have a fear to. i am a bit over weight so i have a big butt! my legs are not too bad they have a little extra flab and a some stomach flab as well. what would you think of a girl that looks like this in spandex? guys... what do you think? i am currently on a diet to try and get rid of some of it so i can look better...

by the way: i am 5 3" and about 135 if that helps you imagine me better

Answer 1

Well, here's the true fact.  If you were the only girl in the gym wearing spandex, yes, you would stand out.  However, when you're in a gym full of girls in spandex, no one will really care.  There are a lot of girls who believe that they wouldn't look good in spandex, but yet they are just self-conscious.  

Don't worry about it.  Besides, according to your figure that you gave, I wouldn't imagine it will be a bad thing.

Answer 2

Scott is right. You won't be the only one there in spandex. And if you're really good, people will see you as a skilled player and not just as a overweight person.

Answer 3

firstly try to forget about how u look and just play

2ndly the fact u think u dont look good in spandex (tho i  bet u do) will only be a problem if u dwell on it- if u think ur but looks big it will show in ur body language, and will draw atention to you. BUT if u wear spandex (or anything) with confidence YOU WILL LOOK HOT, i duno how it works but it does

Thirdly some of the skinnyest girls i no think they have a big bum, every girl is a h**l of alot prettyer than they think they are

Answer 4

i have to wear spandex for my school team. they really arent that uncomfortable if you find some that fit you right. if you have a sports athourity near you then go there and got some spandex that's where i get mine.

Answer 5

So, I'm only 5'4" and weigh 140, and I wear spandex.  You'll look just fine.  And when you're out there showing off your skills, noone will notice anything except the way you play. ;o)

Answer 6

You'll look fine!

i wore spandex and they are so comfortable and easy to playin.

Don't focus on looks, focus on the game and you'll do great.

Answer 7

Answer 10

I know people like you... its okay.

the difference between club girls and girls playing for as school team or city is that those girls are there to play and not to judge. don't go too overboard with your diet... I've seen waaaaaayyy too much go wrong with girls that over obsess with dieting or excersing past the point of exhaustion....

this includes passing out in the middle of games/practices, anorexix, unhealthy look-even worse than looking a little overwieght) use the way you think about your body as a drive to get better or push yourself harder. you wont get better if you dont puch yourself to do what you thought you never could have done.

eat well. lots of greens and remember that diet sodas and other drinks can be just as bad or worse than the regular kind....

besides i have to have at least 6 pairs of spandex becuase nobody can keep me out of them they are so comfortable

(as a matter of fact i am wearing them right now)

Answer 11

as a guy im just gonna guess that alot of girls dont feel comfortable in spandex, especially at younger ages. try not to be so self conscience just play the game and have fun, and you will be burning calories as well!!

Answer 12

a lot of girls have to wear spandex, dont worry its alrite, wen ur on the floor making great palys no one will care wat u look like but how well ur are playing, dont be so selfconcious, u can also wear pants over ur spandex until the game if it really bothers u that bad but if it doesnt then just hav fun and dont worry about wat u look like focus on playin the game and winning.!

Answer 13

hmmmmmmmmmm i think you mabie lose 10 pounds sleeping helps yopu lose weight take napes

Answer 14

Well, I'm a volleyball player and have been for the past 3 to 4 years. I always have to wear spandex and I've gotten used to it. I was self conscious at first, but after a while it didn't really matter. The coaches don't look at how well you look in spandex, but how well you play. Good luck.

Answer 15

You can't let how you look be the focus of your games.  It will distract you and take your mind off the game.  You'll be afraid to move certain ways or make certain plays if you are worried about how you look.  I'm sure you'll look fine and that's great that you are trying to improve yourself.  Worrying will only hinder your game and that won't be good for you or your team.

Good Luck

Answer 16

I don't think anyone should ever be forced to wear more revealing clothes than they feel comfortable in ... especially just to play a sport for fun ... it's supposed to be fun first, competitive second ... on the other hand you might want to try it out in practice when there is no crowd and see if it really bothers you ... if you still don't feel comfortable, maybe you can remind your coach what the priorities should be
