I have a deformity of the legs (one leg is significantly larger than the other) along with scarring on the other, normal sized leg. I've had this since birth and have been concealing it as best I can since I was around nine.
I'll be in my mid thirties this month and I've had enough. I'm so tired of dreading the summer traipsing around in black jeans (even at the beach). Having to walk past all the pretty summer maxi dresses etc because I'm scared the wind will show my leg when I walk.
Please can someone give me some guidance on how not to care anymore. I got stared at and bullied when I was young and it's left a permanent fear of my legs being seen. I won't be walking around in a mini skirt but I'd love to get to a place where I wasn't worried about ankle-length dresses. I'm just so bloody hot all of the time!
I'm also overweight due to said disability and I feel like not ever being able to wear pretty clothes really demotivates me from losing it.
I just don't know if I'll be able to deal with the stares and comments from people.
