I've decided to consider my calves shapely. I don't get why, as a clothing size 8ish (average NZ woman size 16), I have problems fitting knee high boots. I have a pair, after trying many many ones on, but the zip is still snug. I see women much larger than I am with knee boots and their calves look smaller than mine. Ah well. One of those mysteries of life.
thick calves I got em, too. I've known women much heavier than me at my heaviest, who had shapely ankles and calves. Me? Not pretty at all, even in my current size 14 (which I just wrote about in my journal...I used to DREAM of this size ) And, remembering when i was 15 and had a cute figure, I had heavy legs, thick ankles. *pout* Never have been able to wear knee boots, and I don't wear dresses. Ever.
congrats on all you have accomplished, my dear! It was very cool seeing your post brought back some memories.
