We often have a terrible relationship with our weight. We're too fat, too thin, our weights on the wrong part of our body etc. How much does your weight bother you?
Please don't post your weight, numbers can be triggering for people with a history of disordered eating
I'm not considered overweight based on my height, but I weigh about 5-10 pounds more than I'd like to, since any excess weight seems to go to my tummy. I was a little mortified when the internet invented a new word to make people feel inadequate -- skinny fat -- because, yep, that's me. 😮💨 I can hide my stomach pretty well with clothes, and people say I'm thin, but it can hurt a little looking in the mirror, and swimming is out of the question.
I work out every day, but I just can't seem to get get the flat tummy I had in my college days.
Skinny fat is kinda me! It's all in my belly I look pregnant, it's bizarre and I'm really conscious of it. I've found since I hit 40 that's got worse and the last 12 months it's been really bad. I'm having to change how I dress cos dresses are more forgiving than trousers
I love high-waisted jeans for the same reasons! I can get into all my old dresses, but they can be a little tight, so those are for special occasions only until I have a flat tummy again 🙃
Ah high waisted jeans... especially in stretchy fabric
Is it peri menopause? My mom gets a really bloated tummy which is very similar to a little pregnant belly. She read it's very common and can last for like up to ten years, which sucks. None of her normal clothes or styles work on this completely new body type.
I've been wondering that, I don't have any other symptoms though. I know that's gonna be the next big thing in my life and I'm not looking forward to it!
