Even if you’re not the type to ask your man, “Do these pants make my butt look big?” that doesn’t mean he believes you’re 100% okay with your figure. Here are 14 little ways you let on that you’re insecure about your body (even though your boyfriend loves it!)

You change the subject

When he tells you your butt looks great or you have nicely toned arms, you just say, “Oh…” and quickly change the subject. You don’t even stay on the subject long enough to give the typical, “No I don’t!” response.

You’re quiet when your friends talk about bodies

When your girlfriends discuss how they’ve lost five pounds, or a new workout, or that a celebrity has put on weight, you go noticeably silent. Or go empty the dishwasher until they’ve changed topics.

You hide your workouts

You don’t tell your boyfriend when you’re working out. For example, when he asks what you’re doing on a given day, you tell him you’re going to work and then go home but “forget” to mention you’ll stop at the gym for thirty minutes on a treadmill. Or you leave his place super early in the morning, blaming a business meeting, when you’re actually going for a jog.

You peruse diet articles at the grocery store

In line for checkout, you flip through the pages of fitness magazines—frantically reading as much as you can until the very last minute when you have to grab your bags and move on—but you never bring the magazines home.

You watch “Biggest Loser- type shows a lot

Some individuals who are insecure about their bodies, to feel better about themselves, like to see people who are in much worse condition. And there are plenty of shows today—like “Biggest Loser” and “Extreme Weight Loss”—that let you do that.
