So I am seeing this wholesome woman (+30 F) with silk-smooth skin, blonde hair and no excess fat whatsoever. And she is smarter then I can comprehend.

She would turn my head around once aware I wrote this post. Anyhow, I want to help her gain more confidence.

So, her skin on the lower legs is thin such that you can see her veins. She is ashamed for her blue Ones.

She told me her struggle. She shows me her veins. I feel for her awareness.

She got great legs. But she wears these legging-thingys even it is uncomfortably warm. I want her to feel the cold wind on a hill when we get around some place.

I am assuring her that this ain’t an issue for anyone. Meanwhile drawing them with my finger, wrongly on purpose.

Anyhow; I am trying to make her feel confident enough so that she doesn’t give af and just wear clothes appropriate for the trip & the weather.

Anyone got any advice for me or tips for her?

    Just keep telling her she’s awesome. Don’t focus on the legs, just tell her all the things you love about her. And if she directly asks you about them, don’t make it a big deal. Just say “I don’t care, you’re beautiful.” For me the best thing my husband did was to counter the constant onslaught of beauty standards over media by telling me every day what he loves about me and how cool he thinks I am.
