Feeling Defeated :(

MyiahRose

My stomach just wont go away. I know it is the last place to lose weight but i just feel as though it will stay forever.
Everything else on my body is small but my stomach makes me look pregnant.
I tried everything, i lift heavy, i do occasional cardio, nothing is working.
I literally am walking around like i am 7 months pregnant. Its embarrassing and i feel so defeated because all this weight i have lost but my stomach is still there

I won't like--the stomach thing sucks. I have it too, and while I am closer to my goal (probably another 10 pounds until my ultimate stopping point) than you at this point, it's still a problem and the reason why I don't take side photos of myself. But I have noticed that it is starting to get better now that I am getting closer to goal. I think that you will likely find the same thing in another. We just happen to be part of the group that loses that part last.

I can commiserate, my stomach is the part that holds most of my extra weight.
Since you seem to be doing the right things re: exercise and food, may I suggest a cosmetic solution? Stand up straight, keep your shoulders down and back, chest and head held high. Suck in your stomach. Try to keep that pose as much as possible during the day, even when sitting down. Be careful not to push your hips too far to the back, though.
You will look taller and slimmer, and confident. Project the confidence and the stomach will not matter as much.

Another thing is in regards to your clothes. I am in no way a fashion expert, but I know I look my best in skirts that sit at the narrowest part of my waist, a bit above my belly button, and then they poof out like an upside-down flower. Most of my stomach is disguised by the skirt that way.
