I’ve certainly gotten heavier snd thicker calves with menopause but can’t say i’ve struggled with weight as some people have. Though of course, as a woman in this culture, I’ve struggled occasionally with my own imsge and fully appreciate your experience with the expensive jeans.
There’s notably been a few times in my life when my waist and legs have gotten larger. And in reflection, each time was when I particularly needed grounding in my life. Very interesting to me how my body seemed to know that. So my legs thickened like tree trunks in order to keep me steady. And when I was free to move and be lighter, my body allowed me. Our bodies always have a greater wisdom than our minds.

Whoa, that's beautiful. I've experienced similar periods of growth and have never thought of it like that...! Dang. Our bodies truly know!
