Today, after not moving at work all day, I decided to be healthy and walk home. Now my thighs are numb from rubbing together. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, trying to exercise and be more healthy, I went for a walk but I developed a friction thigh rash. The rash is so bad I will likely not be able to get on another walk for days. FML
Today, I participated in a walk for charity. Even though I was supposed to walk 5K, I stopped after 3K because the pain from my thighs rubbing together nearly sent me to tears. FML
Today, my thighs started chafing 3 hours before the end of my work shift. Now they burn no matter what I do. I still have an 8-hour shift tomorrow and I can barely walk. To make it worse, my mom's only words of advice involved me losing weight so it "doesn't happen again". FML
Today, I wore a new pair of shoes to work. By lunchtime, my feet were covered in blisters and I had to limp my way through the rest of the day. FML
Today, I decided to start jogging and exercising, so I had a wonderful workout before work. Then I broke my foot at work. Goodbye exercising. FML
Today, trying to get into shape because I run out of breath after walking more than 30 minutes, I started to hit the gym. Too bad my legs didn’t want to cooperate and decided that it would cause limping-worthy pain for every step I took on the treadmill. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. On my way home, my legs gave out halfway up the stairs to my apartment, and I had to awkwardly sit there until I could crawl the rest of the way up. FML
Today, my legs were really sore from working out yesterday, so it hurt going down the stairs at work. To avoid the pain, l ignored how stupid I looked and limped down the staircase. When I finally got to the bottom, I hopped off the last step. And twisted my ankle. FML
Today, after a long day at work, my legs were aching by the time I got home. Tired, I tried to go to bed early. Now the only thing preventing me from sleeping is the pain in my legs. It’s 4 a.m. now and no luck. FML
Today, I had to walk home in nothing but my snuggie and sneakers. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Look at the bright side, if your thighs touch you're one step closer to becoming a mermaid!

Build new good habits and keep walking. A sedentary lifestyle is far more dangerous than an active one. Think of your heart health and keep walking.

It's good that you're trying to be active! Try wearing pants- it can get hot depending on where you live but it will help with the chafing. Or maybe try biking?

That really all depends on the kind of pants. Tight pants would be best to minimize rubbing, while loose, baggy pants would probably just make it worse.

There is medicine that you can apply to your thighs that will make your thighs glide better when they rub so that they don't get irritated.

Don't chase the thigh gap (the vast majority of people never attain it, as it happens to people who are malnourished or whose pelvis is put together in a certain way), just be ready for your walks. A pair of shorts or bandelettes will mitigate most damage, but stick deodorant or anti-chafing products can help too. And on the bright side, at least your thighs are just numb, and not suffering untold searing agony like I used to get before committing to constant shorts-wearing (sweat + chafing = UNGODLY PAIN). :)

A small sacrifice when you look at the positive side and realize it won't be like that forever! Just remember next time to bring a Lil powder with you to work and apply before your walk. Good luck!

Lush sells stuff called something along the lines of silk skin and it not only smells super nice but prevents the annoyance from your thighs rubbing together

in my mind, it's good when my thighs touch because I can easily catch food and other items that I drop! it's definitely come in handy

Could be worse. There could be blood involved. Make sure to put some cream or something on it tonight, chafing the chafed area is pretty much the worst. If you want to make a habit of this, you can cut some old tights at knee level and wear them underneath your regular clothes, it's a lifesaver for me on hot sweaty days.
