I always wanted to wear Shorts. i still do. But my leg shape are really not short friendly. Moreover my thighs are my problem zone. Apart from the fact that they are big they are not well shaped either. But i am hoping that if i loose weight and become size 8 at least then i can duel with my guts to wear one. i probably wont look like Sonakshi here but i will be happy.
