One thing i really hate about my body is the lack of waist i have!

my measurements are waist: 27 inches
hips 33 inches

so my question is, is there anyway to get a smaller waist?

    I personally would build muscle in the region. Not only will it give definition to the abs, but building the glutes will increase the hip:waist ratio.

    Okay, genetics do come into play when it comes to these things, too. You're already nearing the end of a healthy bmi for your height. You could do some form of resistance training at maintenance or a really light deficit to lower body fat % but scale weight is trivial.

    Do NOT listen to the person telling you to wear a girdle all the time and not eat. That's potentially deadly and a terrible idea. Love yourself for who you are. I think you look great. I'm a bit worried about your "get fit or die trying" motto on your profile. Maybe you might want to talk to someone close to you about this?
