I Spent Years Hiding My Lymphedema Legs - Not Anymore | BORN DIFFERENT

A LIFE coach who suffers with Lymphedema has opened up about finding confidence in herself after years spent trying to cover her body in public. Evelyn Wilson’s condition causes a build-up of fluid in soft body tissues, and has particularly affected her legs and arms. The entrepreneur and life coach is on a weight loss journey and has already lost 71 pounds, but due to Lymphedema her legs will always remain swollen. Evelyn said: “I can continue to lose as much weight as I want to but these legs aren’t going anywhere. But instead of trying to cover up, I accentuate what I like about myself. I’m a human, this is me, this is who I am. Why would I cover it up because somebody else doesn’t like it?"
