Looking for any other ladies who face a similar problem. My father was a linebacker and I inherited his build- I have broad shoulders, big head, thick bones and muscles. In high school ( in the 90s) I did aerobics, all the other girls got lithe and lean, while my muscles got so big so fast I earned the nickname "arnie". Now I am in my 40s and have discovered FB (3 awesome years and counting), I love how strong I am, and how my endurance has improved, but sometimes it's hard to deal with my body image because of my build. Eg, I went shopping for shirts, and the saleswoman, who was trying to earn commission, told me I needed a tailor, because women's shirts aren't made for broad shoulders, big chest and comparatively smaller waist. I couldn't believe it.
Anyways, the end of this long rant is, I am looking for any other women who face a similar issue, and advice on how to maintain a healthy body image, while looking like this.
It's tough looking like this
