i dont want to get fatter!

jardimgirl · August 2014

ive been doing good except for the past month, where i gained 3 pounds and its all in my stomach, which is why i started this journey. i dont feel like exercising anymore as i feel fatigued and my eating has gone from 1400-2000 a day

i came a long way from where i was and im slowly creeping back up. i have no motivation left because i keep thinking, ive been at this a year and my stomach still is not flat even though i weigh the same as i did when i was 15 (im 27 now) ive always been thin with belly fat and so i think no matter what that without surgery, i will never get what i want. sorry for all the ramble i just need to talk to someone and ask for advice! :sad: please help

Change up your workouts. Try some pilates, yoga and strength training. I used to think I was ok with cardio. I truly despise cardio. I do it, but I don't typically enjoy it. But pilates, yoga and weight lifting are great for trimming the waist line. Also, be sure to be aware of what you are eating. Even if you are in a deficit, bellys can remain the same because you are eating unhealthy. Not that I have room to talk, I am not the cleanest eater in the world. I try most days but I work in a bakery, as head baker =/ rough go. But, try to keep protein high with moderate healthy fats and low glycemic carbs. It's not always easy, but if you want to have a flat stomach, you have to work and eat for it.

Also, my biggest success has come from setting small goals. Instead of focusing on the big picture, make small changes. Don't drop all your calories at once. Tomorrow eat 100-200 less than you did today (if you ate 2000) and then try that for a few days and then slowly move down until you are where you need to be calorie wise. Less of a shock to the body. Aim to workout for 10 minutes instead of trying to commit to whole hour. Chances are, after 10 minutes you will be fine with going a little longer. Slowly up that number. Small goals go a long way and they keep you from getting discouraged because they are easier to reach.

Keep it up and don't give up. It's a slow process but well worth it. Learn to love the process and you will find everything is much easier.

You need to lower your body fat and increase your lean body mass, then you'll get the flat stomach you want.

Good luck.
