I AM A BIG BONED GIRL

morgzz6

I’m 5’2” and my wrist is 6.5”
I’m a big boned girl
My shoulders are big, so is my torso, it’s big with a defined waist (29.9 inches) it’s still big for my height,
But i got small hands and feet
I really feel horrible cuz I’ll never have a small waist as many other girls with the same height
What should i do?

Accept yourself. I’ve always wanted long skinny lithe legs, but I have short stubby (but strong!) legs. There is no amount of weight loss that will give me the long skinny legs I desire - it’s just my genetics. So I just have to accept it.

Also, it’s really not that serious 😊

How old are you and how much do you weigh?

There is nothing you can do about your bones, but many people here who lost weight have been surprised by where the weight came off. If you have weight to lose, you can't really know what your measurements will be after you lose some weight.

Regardless, you shouldn't "feel horrible" about your waist. Other than staying under the limit for a "healthy" waist measurement, it's rarely a measurement that comes up in conversation, or keeps you from doing almost anything you want to in life.

You can thank genetics for what you're born with. There's no use fighting it, so learn to embrace it. 😀

You sound very young for your post, but that's beside the point. Firstly, stop comparing yourself to other people, but because that's like telling a cat to bark, then create a reasonable calorie deficit that allows you to have enough energy to perform physical activity that gradually progresses over time and you can re-evaluate whether you still feel horrible after losing enough body fat to have smaller measurements.

You have small hands and feet because you're 5'2", and being that height leads me to believe that you truly do not have big bones, although, you may very well have strong bones. Tall people have bigger bones than shorter people, but that's relative in comparison.

Your measurements are the way they are simply because of what surrounds your bones, i.e. organs, fluid, muscle, and fat. You really only have control over muscle and fat, to a certain degree without being hospitalized; fat being the easiest to manipulate through diet alone. Muscle you create through actual effort.

TLDR = Eat a bit more protein, vegetables, and fruit, eat a bit less fat and sweet/salty treats, and move things, preferably heavy things, that makes you a strong bunny and not a cardio bunny.

How old are you? As you keep referring to yourself and others as "girls," I suspect that you may be under 18. These forums are only for people ages 18 and up.

I have a large frame, and when I was in high school hated my big calves and feet. But later I started doing yoga and realized how beneficial large feet were for balancing poses.

I stopped comparing myself to other women not long after high school - when I was in the military I realized small feet were not critical in order to gain male attention, lol.

Unfortunately you haven't come back here with more info yet, but I saw in one of the old threads you bumped that you said you are 135 lbs.

If you are under 18:
1. You shouldn't be on MFP, the guidance and formulas here are for 18 and over and might lead you in the wrong direction.
2. You might still grow, and even if you don't, your body can still change and develop alot in your late teens. So I would just focus on being active and healthy and let your body finish doing what it's gonna do.

If you are 18 or older:
For adults, 135 is the very top of the healthy weight range for your height. If you're unhappy with your shape, there's no harm in trying to lose a few lbs and increase your fitness and see if it doesn't help what you think are your problem areas. I'm 5'4, and going from 140 to 125 while building muscle made a huge difference in how I looked and felt.

If you decide to do that, aim for half-a-lb per week weight loss, and make sure to include some resistance training.

And please try to think of yourself kindly and in a more positive way!
