HI.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history and concerns.
You are a female patients with very thin legs. Although you are healthy the upper body parts are larger and the part below the hips look so thin, so much so that your husband also insults you.
Your worry about eating less and getting the power parts becoming thinner and vise versa is agreed upon, but is worth trying, particularly eating less so that the upper part becomes thin, lower part may not become thinner as it is already is.
The best part is that you know this is hereditary, hence easy to accept by you.
Your self esteem must be maintained, it then does not matter who says what?
Consult a General Surgeon or orthopedic Surgeon and undergo MRI of the spine; the power part may show some disease which may be responsible for this disproportionate growth of body.
