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

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

Those are perfectly normal legs.

Who are you worried about giving a second thought to your legs OP? 99% of people you pass by couldn't give two fucks about the legs of anyone else, they'll be too busy enjoying their own day.

Maybe there's a 1% of miserable mean people that looks at others, judge, pulls a face if there's something they don't like, write posts on MN about it, but it pays to remember that if they had enjoyable lives of their own they wouldn't have the time or inclination to worry about others. Pity for them, really.

Leave your self-consciousness at home and enjoy your holiday.

(Ps.. no cellulite present in that picture at all. Confused).

I can't see anything, your legs look great. Even if you do have some cellulite or in fact lots of cellulite it doesn't matter. Please ignore the ex who made that comment. Some men can say nasty things like that, usually because secretly they know you are too good for them and it's their insecurity talking. I'm bigger than you, have more cellulite plus stretch marks and saggy boobs but nothing is going to stop me getting in a bikini on holiday.

You've got to be joking? Your legs are great! You will see people much fatter than you in bikinis on holiday

Bunsandtophats · 14/07/2022 20:52

I'm sure your legs serve you well and work hard for you. Give them some sun 😎

dementedpixie · 14/07/2022 20:57

I'm a size 18/20 on the bottom and wear shorts. I dont care if I may have cellulite.
I also wear a bikini on holiday (36GG boobs and size 20 bottom)

I have severe muscle wastage in one of my legs, it's noticeably thinner than my other one and I don't give a hairy arsed fuckety fuck about it looking different. My daughter has numerous scars on hers from injuries and repeated surgeries but still wears shorts and a bikini as do I.

I love my body, I think it's really clever to do everything it does everyday and couldn't care less what my legs looks like to other people.

Fake tan and you will feel more confident. The only person judging your legs is you!

Blackopal · 14/07/2022 21:36

I am just back holiday.
I really enjoyed the confidence being worn by a massive variety of body types around the pool.
Nobody appeared to care less what everyone else looked like, every one seemed not to care less what others thought of them.
Was brilliant!

No, bloody amazing pins!

PatientlyWaiting21 · 14/07/2022 22:00

The majority of people have cellulite, it’s life, no biggie, don’t worry about, although I really do not see anything in that pic!

Riverlee · 14/07/2022 22:12

I’m older than you, and have worse legs than you (varicose vein's), and would get my legs out (ie wear shorts etc).

Does anyone really spend their time on holiday looking at other peoples legs, and whether they have cellulite or not? Go and enjoy your holiday!

NotMeekNotObedient · 14/07/2022 22:15

Cellulite is normal. It's just how womens fat stores are structured.

Your legs look great!

I would definitely seek out a course on self image to improve your self esteem.

With your figure I bet you look Amat

Tequilamakesmehappy · 14/07/2022 22:42

Really? Legs look good to me ☺️ never worry about what other people think! They are too busy worrying about themselves lol have a great holiday and get a great tan 😁

userxx · 14/07/2022 23:16

Show me the cellulite!!

PandoraP · 15/07/2022 00:09

Currently on holiday abroad. It’s hot and there are people of all shapes and sizes on the beach. No one is noticing anyone else. You will have to have two heads for anyone to pay any attention OP.

Exactly my point! Looking uncomfortable, is not a good look.

Why don’t people read properly? I said more power to her, and that I felt ashamed of doing a double take.

Yeah you should be ashamed too. Your post is dripping with disdain for a big woman wearing what she wants.

The problem is you, not her.

BatshitCrazyWoman · 15/07/2022 10:34

Your legs are great.

Your ex is a negging twat.

Wear the shorts. Wear short skirts. Wear whatever the hell you want.

SupposeItDoesnt · 15/07/2022 10:36

You look great. Please don’t use a sunbed - they are really dangerous and lead to skin cancer - the san is simply skin damage!

No one is going to be looking at you, I promise!
