    Taking the L for Halloween

    @monicachere I don’t even bring candy home anymore because I will eat it all very quickly. We give out toys and small items like flash lights. The kids love it and no left over candy.

    Therapist wants me to accept myself at a bigger size

    @66bookssss You’ve had a lot of helpful comments. I just want to encourage you to see a doctor about your pain to rule out other causes.

    Fitness advice for 5'2" female feeling stagnant

    @jessica50332 You look very good and are well proportioned without any noticeable bulk. In fact, just a reality check, I would not really look at your physique and guess that you lift.

    To the short torsoed and short waisted people - what are the upsides/benefits? Can only spot disadvantages rn..

    @xdxaxvxex Legs look decent in shorts? Idk, I'm in the same boat. Not the heartburn or pain issues, but disproportionately longer legs make many exercises harder (squats, anything grabbing/touching toes), and short waist makes me look dumpy even when not overweight.
