How do I reduce belly fat?

I've seen so many posts asking about spot reducing. Spot reducing doesn't work but bellies eventually begin to disappear. In my personal experience, this is the exact order of body fat loss.

First twelve months:
Boobs shrink completely until they are gym socks with tennis balls at the toe
Face slims down until I look like a Survivor contestant
Neck gets a bit skinnier
One year later:
Thighs begin to look less thundery
Calves are not as robust
Arms are less puffy
Back fat looks less muffin toppy
Belly is slightly less lumpy
Feet stop swelling
Rings don't cut off circulation to my hands
Knees are more knobby
Two years later:
Arms, legs, back have definition - woo hoo
Butt is now very unBrazillian
Toes get thinner
Ears are getting skinny
Belly is disappearing slower than fruit cake on Christmas
Overall body type is shriveled potato on pretzel sticks
3 years later:
Belly resembles a ballon that has been blown up and deflated five times
4 years later:
Hey, I look pretty good. Go me!!!

This cracked me up! Hopefully I'll get to your point by next year! You go!

Love the ‘Overall body type is shriveled potato on pretzel sticks’
It’s just what I felt I looked like.

I don’t know what the rest of you looks like, but you are rocking the legs.

Good Monday morning reality check with a giggle.

Cheers, h.

Just curious if the years were weight stable years or were you continuing to lose weight?

One was stable, one I had 7 surgeries and gained a bit. The others were slow progress.
