    Okay, no I am not fishing for compliments. I didn't want to post a photo but no one would give me advice until I did. I want my abs to go in, not stick out. Does anyone have any advice on how to accomplish that?? Any ideas on the breathing thing I mentioned earlier? Is it really just from bad posture?

    Abs do not go in more than yours unless you specifically flex them certain ways.

    You look great! :) definitely wasn't what I imagined when I read the title lol.

    Like others said, maybe you could try doing less work on your core if it bothers you too much.

    I have heard of vacuums, no harm in giving them a try I suppose. Otherwise I guess I'll cut back on the ab work for a while. Thank you for the input from those of you who don't think I have dysmorphia. :)

    Stop sticking out your stomach and straighten your posture and they'll stop sticking out.
