Waist matters & frustration - some venting

[Catrin]

I feel your pain Catrin. All of my weight is in my stomach and hips. It's not that bad when I'm standing, but when I sit, it's like my body sucks all the fat straight to my stomach. It's maddening.
... I will continue to try to focus on my posture and try to get in more mat work.

Thanks to Knotted I am starting to think about my posture. It will be difficult to break bad habits of many years, but what she said made a lot of sense

I have always had small hips - back in my largest of days there was quite often a 2-3 size difference between hips and what most would consider my waist It is still hard for me to see myself as the size I actually am - I can feel that stomach and I suspect that I see myself as still being on the obese side. I can't argue with the size of the clothes that fit though, so that is helping.

And I would like to take the fat from my thighs and put it in my ridiculously small boobs....

You can have some of mine - have always wanted smaller boobs

Great thread! I'm an apple too -- all my weight is in my torso, but I have normal/thin arms, legs and no butt.

I have hypothyroidism,HBP and am post-menopausal. Still I keep fighting the battle of the bulge. I'm not losing the war, but I'm not winning either. I eat right, exercise and just try like heck not to gain any weight. But I am 28% body fat and I feel it.

The posture tips are good.. gets us all to thinking! Thanks, Knot!!
