Nervous getting my legs out on holiday with cellulite ..should I ? (Pics included )

[cheae]

Basically I'm 36 and have cellulite on my legs
I never ever get my legs out as I'm so self conscious but I'm going abroad and really want to wear skirts.
Does it look as bad as I think?
If I have a few sunbeds before holiday is it passable ? Or even fake tan ?
I'm a size 10 and no matter what I do I can't shift it

Wear skirts if you want to. Really, no one’s looking at you. Just wear what you enjoy wearing!

When I was a a teenager cellulite didn’t exist in the UK, It was something French women worried about. It only became a thing when cosmetic companies discovered it. Just look at old carry on films, carry on camping is a good one to see what the Brits were like. they were fine as they were and so are you.

I save this for these occasions

Get yourself to the beach!

Corned beef is about the complexion and blotchiness that comes with pale (blue) skin not cellulite. It's an awful comment nevertheless.
Your cellulite isn't remarkable to stop traffic and have people staring and doing double takes. Most women have cellulite. Wear what you feel comfortable in.

Wear the shorts, OP! You can do it. I have cellulite (as do 90% of women) and I give zero fucks. Exfoliate and fake or instant tan if you want.

I've never looked at another human being's body and felt disgust towards them. I just think, "that person is wearing shorts" and go on about my day.

Honestly I can't see any cellulite in that pic. Even if I did I would still say wear the shorts. No one else really cares about our so-called flaws anyway.

I knew before the thread loaded that there would be no cellulite… and… I was right!

Get a tan, you’ll look fine.

Yesterday I saw a woman who was simply huge wearing very short flowery floaty shorts, her legs were simply made of cellulite from the ankles up, it did not look at all good and I did do a double take (for shame) but all power to her, if that’s what she wanted to wear. She was wearing little heels that she couldn’t walk properly and did look very uncomfortable but hey, maybe she wanted it for the photos or something.

Your legs look great!!

I have a lot of loose skin on my thighs from extreme weight loss and gain. I still wear shorts and dresses. I say if people don't like it they don't have to look. I'm not going to be hot in case I offend someone!

What's the point of this story other than to fat shame a stranger?

The OP is a size 10.

I wish I'd worn bikinis when I was a size 10. Now I'm 20 years older and a size 16 and I 'don't give one' anymore. I've bought 2 bikinis!

Get your legs out and have a great time!

My legs are 100x worse (not that yours are bad in the slightest) and I wear shorts now. Especially on holiday!! Enjoy OP! I PROMISE nobody is looking at your legs, they're too busy worrying about their own x

Your legs look great, make the most of them. I'm overweight and even though it's not mainly in the leg area, I would be out in shorts and skirts every day if I had legs like yours. It's a shame that even people at an optimal weight can still feel insecure.

Absolutely nothing to see there.

You're being way too critical of yourself.

Honestly, ur legs are totally fine and even if u think u have cellulite which u really really don't so what what other people would think!! Come on hun get those size 10 dresses on ur pins and get in that sun pronto and let them out the whole length of them! Don't give a single seconds thot to what others might think! Life is soo soo short to gaf about it!!.

Pish mine are much worse, I couldn't care less. I wear the shorts.

Your ex sounds like he sapped the joy out of your life when you were together.

Why do you want to give him permission to keep doing so?

Even if your legs were covered in cellulite (and they aren't), fuck him.

The question was about cellulite, my anecdote was about cellulite, I was in no way fat shaming her! Wind your neck in

God you should see mine - size 16 tree trunks, covered in cellulite and usually not shaved very well if at all. I’m 36 too and I give zero fucks - get your legs out and enjoy the feeling of freedom

Thank you, I needed that

It was a nasty judgmental viewpoint, the PP is not wrong to call you out on it

@Glitterspy your story was quite bitchy tbh. It has the opposite effect of inspiring confidence in an already insecure op not to mention any readers who might feel this applies to them. You don't need to put other women down to make another feel better, you know.

Your legs are great and literally not one single person will take a blind bit of notice.

What cellulite??? Your legs look lovely. Get them out and enjoy the lovely weather.
