In Defense of Big Calves

I have large calves, they aren't particularly muscular. They are mostly just fat. I have to buy boots for "wide" calves. Sometimes cute knee socks do not fit over these fat calves. 

But here's the thing. These fat calves are sturdy and strong. They are smooth and soft. They are curvy. They have supported me through many years of living. Getting scratched by burrs in the woods, or sunburned on the beach, or worn out walking the streets of the many cities I've visited. 

I think it's time I start loving these fat calves of mine. They're kind of awesome.
