which parts of your body are your "problem areas"



Recommended Posts

I have come to the conclusion that 99% of people are unsatisfied with a part of themselves...

I am really sad that my boobs are the first to go!!! :wink2:

My top 3 problem areas are:

1.belly

2.thighs

3.upper arm

Hips and thighs, although my boobs really need a lift, I have a nice upper body, its well shaped and shows really lovely muscle definition. I have well defined collarbones and a long neck. I'm not as vain as I sound, lol, I've just learned over these past years to take note of what is GOOD about me.

Lower body, hmmm. I'm hardly the worst afflicted woman or on my own here, but I find it unfair that I will never show the muscle definition and tone I deserve to for all my hard hard work, there's a stubborn layer of fat that ruins it. I have moderate cellulite on the backs of my thighs, and a bit of loose inner thigh skin. My stomach is ironing board flat, there's no pouchy pot belly but its squishy with just a bit of remaining fat that wont budge. Whilest I do have *some* loose skin its not too bad, I think lower body Lipo could work absolute wonders on me as i have the muscle shape below the fat to support it.

Its not come without hard hard work though, sigh. I am naturally pear shaped and will always carry a bit below the waist.

My lower body never seems to want to lose weight. Everything above the belt gets smaller, but the butt, thighs, and lower legs are soooooooooooooo slow.

I have these things hanging off the sides of my thighs that have been there since I hit puberty. I need Lipo on my camelsacks. Other than that, I wish my tummy were flatter and I could stand a touch of lipo around my waist. Considering I have had two kids, I fared pretty well. If I had to pick one are it would be outside thighs.

Yeah, why is it that your boobs are the first to go? The parts of my body that I don't care to much for are,

1. Belly

2. Butt (although it is getting smaller)

3. Hips

4. Thighs

5. My arms aren't that big of a deal, but I still wouldn't mind having them to slim down a little bit more.

6. My double chin, (next to my belly I hate this the most, I can hide my belly, butt, hips, thighs, and upper arms, but it's really hard to hide the chin thing unless, I go around all day with my head lifted up toward the ceiling).

I am also one of those sad cases of all the fat melting off the top portion of my body:crying: Apparently I've lost 37 pounds from my face and neck.....at least thats where everyone says "OH yeah I can really tell in your face":glare:

1) my belly-I've have 4 children ,1 was a twin preg..you do the math..ugh

2) my inner thighs..I'd really like them to get a divorce

3) my upper arms...german sausages that will turn to bat wings when I get to goal....YUM:lol:

4) my baby bearing, kid carrying hips....nuff said

5) my boobies...see #1, their a size elongated.

But I have lot's of pretty parts too.. my eyes, my hair, my lips,my nails...funny those are all the places that don't gain weight!:thumbup:

I can only speak for myself but I am not wanting lipo for skin issues, I know it wont take away saggy skin or cellulite.< /p>

Me either. Its pockes of fat. I have one on the centre of my upper abdomen, lovehandles, and the dreaded saddlebags on the outer thighs. The actual loose skin I have I can live with. I'd be a US size 6 but for those areas, and try as I might, my body does not want to loet go of any more weight. Nor do I really want to because I can see what will happen - gaunt face, bony chest but STILL fat thighs.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
