I'm 16/f, weigh around 120, and I'm 5'4. I know I don't need to lose weight but I have a problem coming to terms with the size of my thighs. I used to play soccer and still currently run track. My thighs are huge (muscular) and constantly people are telling me that I look like a gymnast and such. I hate it so much, I wish my thighs were smaller yet still muscular. Running doesn't help haha it only makes me more muscular while not downsizing the size of my thighs. I'm guessing the only way for them to become smaller is to change my diet? Or would that not work? And if it could work, what changes should I make to my diet to lose the extra leg? Thanks :)

you can try making the muscles leaner by doing pilates and yoga. it's supposed to enlongate your body so your muscles won't be as bulky. it seems to help [ xO_b_r_i_a_n_a_Ox's advice column | Ask xO_b_r_i_a_n_a_Ox A Question ]
