I'm an "hourglass" with a body fat percentage of 9%. Yes it exists, hourglass 9%BFP. I don't look one bit like the girl in the picture, I just want to say that haha. I'm concerned she is on steroids actually. I have soft curves and slight abs, hipbones that poke out, sculpted arms and a big, firm butt. You cannot see any other bones sticking out really, no visible ribs. I eat so much too... My stomach is a bottomless pit. I will eat plates and plates of food at every meal sometimes! I work out 6 days a week and always have amazing, endless energy as long as I eat constantly, but that may be my low blood sugar level, which isn't part of the discussion.
I'm 5'10" and 128 lbs. I'm 19 years old. I just want to get rid of the idea that just because it says it's typically unhealthy doesn't mean that it's not perfectly healthy for someone else. We all have different body frames and types, different metabolisms. The truth is all bodys are beautiful and as long as someone is healthy, we shouldn't judge them (if they are unhealthy, judging is only for the doctors, nobody's business except the person with the issue and who they deem worthy of judgement) I seriously still have a big butt and can lift heavy stuff, I'm not weak AT ALL lol.
I guess I look like a Victoria's Secret Angel minus the spraytan, makeup and Photoshop, etc, tbh, which really gets me judged pretty badly. I don't care that much most of the time but why label people? Lmfao I don't want a label for one. I don't care if it's a good or bad label, it's a label. I just picked a lifestyle I love is all! And I hope you all find yourselves and what makes you happiest and don't worry about what others think.
By those images I would say slender and 18-20% body fat (which is in the normal healthy range for women). I picked slender from the first image because it's the closest to my actual body shape. Make the hips less wide and the shoulders a bit wider and that's more what I look like.
