Beckie has lipoedema which causes painful build-ups of fat
A plus-size woman who was trolled for her “granny legs” caused by a health condition has embraced her body and feels “beautiful” in a bikini. Beckie Bold, 24, felt self-conscious growing up and she always struggled with the size of her legs.
Beckie, who wears a UK size 26, no longer feels she has to cover her body in long black clothes and loves to wear skimpy outfits and bikinis. She said: “I want to live for myself, not for others. “I’m happier now at my biggest than when I was at my skinniest. I always knew there was something different about my legs.
Beckie recalls that she always noticed something different about her legs for as long as she can remember. When she was aged 14-16 she struggled with an eating disorder due to the bullying, but she realised that being skinny didn’t make her happy. When she moved to Greater Manchester for university in 2017 she was able to start loving who she was.
