What do you think about this? Should I eat more?

[Anonymous]

I lost 10 lbs. I am 5'6 125 lbs. I had a baby 5 months ago and I have been doing crunches, weight lifting, jogging and squats to lose the belly fat and tone up. My boyfriend says he prefers me before because my legs were a little thicker and juicer. This hurt my feelings because I have been working out hard and am trying to look my best.

Overall I lost almost 40 lbs. Recently I lost another 10.

I am still highly insecure because of my stomach pudgy and I am doing whatever it takes to reduce the fat.

It hurts that he preferred my legs before.

Stomach fat can be the hardest fat to lose. It's all about how you eat to lose the stomach fat. Of course you can lose stomach fat by working out, but to lose all of it you will have to change your diet.

Try increasing your weight on squats and leg workouts if you want your legs to be thicker again. You lost a lot of fat on your legs from squats, so increasing your squat weight will increase muscle.

Also, maybe try taking protein shakes. They will help you build bigger muscle.

Your boyfriend is an idiot.

Don't let your man get you down. The reason your losing the weight in the first place should never be for the sake of someone else. If your trying to look good, then it stands to reason that the person your doing it for is you yourself.

#1 Rule in my life; Never, under any circumstance, allow yourself to change because someone else wants you to be that way. Always stay true to yourself, and you'll discover a well lived life for it.
