My thighs look like they are from a different body

It's annoying to say this because I hate women feeing shot about themselves and going on about their bodies but I honestly feel like my thighs are so annoying. I have a top half that is lean and strong. Small chest, flattish tummy. From my hips to my knees I have these thighs absolutely covered in cellulite and varicose veins on the backs of my thighs and knees. Then normal again from the knees down. I wear skirts but I never wear shorts. Any ideas for cellulite?

yep I’m exactly the same- doesn’t matter what I do (recently lost 2stone of baby weight taking me to 10.9stone) and my thighs are still giant, cellulite filled, size 14- have giants calf’s and fat round the knees. It’s genetic, my mum had it- I’ve had to accept I will never have slim legs that fit into jeans easily. I think I actually need a good regular massage as my leg circulation is clearly crap.

That sounds like lymphoedema? I saw a young woman with it on Embarrassing Bodies, she received treatment and saw an improvement.
