5. A Medal

label, watch, jewellery, coffee cup, hand, I lost my thigh gap when I started running long distances, and I don't miss it. You know why? Because I have a rack full of medals from winning some of those races. Bye-bye thigh gap, hello bling.

***

Shifting focus from a gap to gains, my outlook transformed. Each medal I hang is more than metal; it's a tangible triumph, attained not by shrinking, but by expanding—my capabilities, my determination. What thigh gap awards you with pounding pavement, battling the elements, and outpacing rivals? None. So, while those medals clink together musically, they sing a song of victory and of a body celebrated for its strength, not its absence. Each time I glance at that display, I’m reminded: Strength is my new aesthetic, and each medal, a love note to the power in my legs.

Thinking...

7. Your Phone

clothing, undergarment, t shirt, thigh, briefs, Admit it. You bring your phone in the bathroom with you. And chances are, like me, you'd had that heart-stopping close call when you've almost dropped your phone between your legs and into the toilet. No thigh gap means your phone landed safely in your lap. Whew!

See? All very important. What other things can you think of that are better than having a thigh gap?

    As for thigh-gap shaming, it said in the beginning that she has nothing wrong with having a thigh-gap. And it says nothing in the article that it's bad to have a thigh gap. The only person that can make you feel inferior is yourself.

    What about those of us that naturally have a thigh gap? Do you seriously have to put us down and make us feel inferior?

    Most do these models aren't unhealthy. I eat healthy and I workout 5/7 days a week but I still have larger thighs. I'm still plus size. I also like to mention the fact that she said she didn't find anything wrong with a thigh gap.
