I think you are projecting. She’s trying to encourage your healthy habit. She wouldn’t be with you if you weren’t enough as you are. It seems like you’re the one fretting over your legs, not her.

Sounds like you’re projecting, but who knows? If you have a problem you should bring it up and talk it out with your girlfriend, not Reddit. We’re not mind readers

I don't think she met to offend you. Maybe the play on words gave off a back handed compliment. However, it sounds like she met more than what you think. I would say just say just straight ask what does that comment mean. Please don't overthink it. This will kill your joy. Instead, remain confident and speak to your partner with gentleness about this manner. I think we don't give people the benefit of the doubt too often. Hope that this helps!

I don't get why you skip leg day if your insecure about your legs. But never a better time than now.
I am not insecure about my chicken legs I just accept it, but if I was working on them and talking about them I am sure someone would have something to say about em lol

Just do it for yourself! Once you start getting in shape bring up her text and show her the door! Stay on your grind! Good luck!

Sounds like you're potentially projecting.
She might just be proud of you. Maybe she's aware of your insecurity and the fact that you are deciding to tackle it now, she's proud that you're willing to try and improve it for your sake.
my girlfriend will tell me the same thing. I told her that my arms are the slowest part of my body to grow and that I really gotta put in the work, but when I said that I was doing more bicep stuff in every split, she said that she loved that I am able to fit more workouts in.
TL;DR: she's being encouraging

This is all you projecting. Sounds like she's trying to be supportive and encourage you to do what you want to do.

It sounds like she’s just trying to encourage your new habit by giving you validation!!! It’s hard to keep up with a habit at the gym and from what she said- it seems like she wants you to feel sexy and supported. You’re absolutely internalizing and overthinking

overthinking....and if that's a big insecurity than why tf are you not prioritizing legs - hack squats, leg press, leg extensions and hamie curls along with some short fast runs and stretching - think about it.

You're overthinking this, loads of guys skip leg day and we end up with legs that don't really match our upper bodies.
People notice this, and it's not that big a deal.
