I'm 16 years old, about 5'6 and i weigh approx. 135 pounds. I realize that this isn't overly a lot. And i dont consider myself "fat" however, moreless uncomfortable with my body. I have the weirdest body type. I have a huge "spare tire" and i have a poochy belly and love handles that sag over my pants because of this i HATE wearing anything tight. Also, i have absolutely NO HIPS. All those girls who say they wish they didnt have such a huge behind, well i wish i did! I think if i had some hips, than the love handles wouldnt look so bad. My tight shirts bulge out around my stomach and then go straight down! I HATE IT. So, i'm trying not to do a diet because i'm afraid i'm going to loose the "so called butt" that i do have! However, for about a month i've been drinking nothing but water. Sometimes as much as 8 bottles a day. I eat breakfast, lunch, and supper, and although i crave some of the junk, i dont splurge when i eat it. More the most part, the meals are healthy. But if my parents cook southern fried chicken with patatoes, i eat it. For exersise, my boyfriend and i go for a walk whenever the weather is nice ( here lately, not so much ) and i'm taking a physical education class at school. Other than that, i dont do much. I've been doing ab exercises, even though i've read that you cant target one specific area.
I'd just like some tips or ideas to feed from. It seems everytime i mention it to my friends or parents they all sniker and say i'm foolish for wanting to diet. I dont want to be a stick! I just want to feel better about myself!
Thanks a lot!
