Shape Management

[MAJIQUE 36]

I am a true apple girl....well almost an inverted pair. Big on the top small at the bottom. Big stomach ONLY minimized by big boobs and a BROAD back. Trouble with this shape is I am NOT a guy. I am losing still only 11 weeks post op but I really want to shrink the shoulder/back fat. HELP. I know bodies have a natural basic structure, but I want to improve the proportion.

I always THOUGHT I was apple shaped. But I was wrong. You may have a very different shape than you believe.

Pilates, yoga, and swimming would all be awesome exercise methods for your musculature and would help to redefine your shape. If you incorporate weight training (heavy weights and lots of squats and lunges), it'll help to balance your bottom with your top. Weight training also helps to mitigate loose skin. You can do this!

No advice - just commenting to follow the suggestions you get and let you know you aren't alone! I'm inverted too. The bigger I get, the more I look like a melting ice cream cone.

**editing to mention that I once read somewhere that a lot of supermodels are inverted triangles...maybe once our outer layer is gone, we'll have new careers waiting for us? LOL!
