I would say I am fit (ish) I can run half mara in 2hr 11 mins less in good conditions and can do 5k in 24 mins so am obviously not elite ! but wouldnt say unfit either............... why dont i look fit then? am i not as fit as i think? I wonder as I feel a bit embarrased going out cause people must look at me and think she is too big to run that distance?

As Namaste says, we often have a distorted image of ourselves. I've had real issues with various bits of my body over the years but I've gradually got better at seing myself as a whole, which is how other people see you.
I nearly lost one of my legs through illness as a child so when I start worrying about their size/shape I remind myself of how lucky I am just to have two legs which work ok. I'm far from perfect but I'm doing my best with what I've got !
Have you got a trusted friend/relative who could point out all the positive things about your body ? It might be quite a revelation !xx
blokes have the same problems! I now of men tha can sub 1.40 a 1/2 mara and have a rather large beer belly to push along!
Don't worry us blokes are only looking at you "big basookas"
sod what anyone else thinks
but thats your issue isnt it-what others think
hard one to get rid of, I know
You perform better than you think people think you should - so what?
