Beyonce (photo to the left) is definitely not ashamed of her dimples. Show'em off girl!

About two weeks ago, I walked past my full length mirror wearing my signature look of booty shorts, cute top, and jacket. I happened to glance down at and caught the side of my thigh in the worst angle possible—the angle at which you can see….*whispers* cellulite! Ever since then, I’ve been OBSESSED with looking at my thighs. I lie on the bed and turn my legs this way and that way to see which angles make the ripples of fat deposits visible and which ones don’t. I unconsciously rub my hands up and down my bare thighs to see if the cellulite is noticeable by touch (it is).

I realize that the majority of women have cellulite. I also don’t give a shit. My skin is very sensitive and all my life I’ve had stretch marks here and there. The slightest touch causes me to bruise. To have to deal with stretch marks and cellulite simply isn’t fair! And If I have to have cellulite, why on my legs?

My legs have always been my favorite part of my body. They are long for my 63 inch height, smooth, and largely unscarred—a feat in itself! Growing up, I had all sorts of injuries because I was such a tomboy…but for the most part my remained unscathed. Until now.

I did a little research and of course, the only way to get rid of cellulite is to lose weight and even then it may not be possible. If you are predisposed to getting cellulite, chances are it’s not going anywhere. You may be able to minimize it but that’s it.

I will say this, I do think that cellulite, on many women is sexy. It’s erotic if it comes with a jiggle and some thickness. But still, I plan to follow some of these tips I found on the innanet to minimize it. I’ll keep you posted on whether or not they work. Or, better yet, whether or not I’m able to stick to them!

Here are the tips from various sources that I am trying in order to help minimize my unwanted thigh dimples.

• Detox your diet. Emphasize fruits and leafy greens.
• Avoid junk food,diet sodas, processed foods and saturated fats such as butter and animal fats
• Avoid excessive alcohol and cigarettes.
• Drink a lot of water
• Brush your skin with a skin brush to stimulate blood and lymph flow
• Finish your daily shower with a cold rinse to tone your skin.
• Take Glucosamine supplements to assist your body in repairing the dermis and connective tissue
• Avoid high-pressure massage so as not to damage lymphatic function and micro-circulation. Also avoid high-impact exercise.
