I'm considering weight loss pills or surgery?

[Anonymous]

I'm 5'4'' and weigh 130 pounds,my waist is 25 inches.I feel so crap about it and I do everything I can to change it but it isn't working.I eat healthy and work out for 90 minutes everyday including cardio and toning exercises.I just feel totally fat and ugly and need other ways to get the weight off.Any suggestions are welcome.I'm considering weight loss pills or surgery

Don't do surgery. You're not fat; you may have fat on you, but you are not hideously obese. I face the same problem. I see my flaws and the "fat" on my body, but many people say I'm tone. I want to be ripped, but it's taking some time. The last 10 pounds of fat are really hard to lose. It's your body saying this is for in case of emergency. It's a blessing and a curse. You have to learn to love yourself. Instead of saying that looks ugly, why don't you look at what you have accomplished. For example, sure I can tone down on my stomach, but I have some muscles. It's kind of hot. Seriously, love yourself! You are beautiful. Anyway, you could add some interval training. Try M100 that's tough. There are several fitness gurus on YouTube, i.e. athlean-x

From what it sounds like you're at the level your body wants to be at. A healthy level most people would consider attractive. Pushing it any further is going to require a LOT of work and very specialized nutrition and exercise plans because it's going against what your body naturally WANTS to do.

You're not fat. The pills have negative side effects and the surgery is really only something for people in medical need, which you most certainly are not.

You don't seem to be be fat by your measurements but if you insist then are you sure you're eating healthy? A lot of foods you think are good for you or not so bad really are. Its hard to figure out these days with so much misleading on food packages. Maybe your exercise is too low intensity for you?

Try eating more meals that are smaller portions to speed up your metabolism. And maybe do a bit more cardio. 90 min seems like a decent workout time (longer than I do it haha) but if nothing's happening for you maybe do some cardio that's more high intensity

Maybe you could start a food diary...you might be underestimating the calorie count. Or maybe you are experiencing a plateau and need to modify your workouts...Please forget about the weight loss pills and surgery. Weight loss pills have terrible side effects (can affect your heart for example), and surgery is not intended for someone of your size and of your motivation (more so as a last resort for morbidly obese individuals).

You're really not heavy.

Just be more confident, I'm sure you're gorgeous

Thank you,my boyfriend tells me that but I just feel disgusting.I'd say something if I sat on my ass all day doing nothing but I try really bloody hard :-(

[blahdeblah321]

i'm pretty sure you measured your waist wrong. that's a model-sized waist.

Just keep exercising and eating healthy. You will lose the weight, it just won't happen overnight.

[Asker]

Well I've been trying for a good 12 months and I'm still not what I want to be

[funkadelic5]

Then you're not eating well enough. I lost 90 pounds in eight months with diet and exercise, step it up.

You're not fat. Get the f*** over yourself. Keep doing what you're doing if you want to get toned. It takes time to see results. You have to be patient. Don't take weigh loss pills or have surgery. That's not smart. Good luck!

[decentusername]

a 25 inch waist is pretty small!

[decentusername]

most people would kill for a waist like that

[Asker]

[decentusername]
