I had a strange experience on my recent flight to visit our daughter, son-in-law and grandson. After going through the full-body scanner, I had to have my knees and thighs patted down!! Not good for the self-esteem. The way I take it, whoever was seeing the scan saw that my thighs and knees were out of proportion to the rest of me! It was sobering to have someone who wasn't even actually looking AT me, confirm that my body parts were "not normal". I already know this, but did not enjoy having it confirmed in such a way! I think my thighs will improve some with more weight loss, but my knees have weird fat pads on the inside, and they will NEVER go away. I remember in my 20s, I got to the real WW goal of 135 and went shopping for new clothes with my mother. It turned into a sad downer because the dresses still looked horrible due to my heavy knees.
I find no fault with TSA in this. I just hate when an unbiased outsider confirms such a sad truth about my body!
