Oh Jeez…I’ve Got Cankles, Yuck!

Remember when you were a child and saw a fat lady in the mall and you turned to your mom and said, “Hey mommy where did her ankles go?” Your mom dutifully says to you, “Shh…it is not polite to point and we’ll discuss this when we get home.”

Well, I’m sure there are many little girls out there pointing and asking their moms where my ankles have gone; I never wanted to be a person with cankles, but here I am. I have always loved wearing beautiful shoes and admiring my calves, ankles and feet nicely arched in a pair of pumps. Now, all I have are cankles…ugh! They are not attractive at all and they hurt. It feels like my skin is pulling all the time and when I eat something particularly salty, and sit at my computer all night, my feet and ankles seem to balloon up to abnormal proportions. It’s maddening.

But alas, I have a confession to make, I am still buying beautiful pumps and stuffing my fat cankle laden feet into them and admiring the view in my head of ankles of old, where there was a beautiful ankle bone protruding that made the area from the back of your ankle to your heal look fabulous. I put them on and reminisce; I don’t dare walk in them (that’s excruciating) but I do like imagining. Now all I see are these ugly fat cankles.

Cankles, cankles, cankles. Can you tell I’m obsessed with cankles right now. I find that at night in bed if I elevate my feet with pillows I get some relief.
