Media personality Martha Kay recently shared her long-standing struggle with insecurity regarding her genetically inherited big legs. She decided to overcome this insecurity and live her life to the fullest.
Martha explained that her large legs run in her father's family, with her father's sisters also having them. This genetic trait had a significant impact on her self-esteem, leading her to dress modestly to hide her legs.
During her university days, Martha received negative comments from friends who suggested that her looks might hinder her from finding love. However, she eventually recovered from this emotional trauma through self-affirmation and awareness.
“These ginormous legs from my father’s sisters gave me such insecurity that I never wore anything short- ever! In fact, I used to dress so badly in a bid to hide some body parts that my friend at uni said, “The man you end up with will love you for your heart because your looks are terrible.” I froze. Anyway, with a lot of self-affirmation and awareness, I recovered. Today, I think I have like 5 long dresses,” she posted.
