NSV- A Waist

There's that moment during weightloss when I notice- like really notice- that my waist is curved way in on the sides. There's my waist! No denying it.

I noticed it a couple weeks ago but just catching a quick glance in the mirror in a rush to get ready to go.

When I looked, really looked, well datum! My waist looks pretty good on me. It curves way in.

I'm curvy- but not in a fat-way. :)

My waist is quite a bit higher than I thought it was.

My belly button is lower than I thought it was, too, no wonder after 2 C-sections and a couple rounds of weightloss.

That's probably why I thought my waist was lower; because they tell you to measure your waist around your belly button, or just near it. Also, I'm petit, so maybe I thought my waist was lower to the ground, like me. ha

Who knew?

Now I know where my waist is- after all these years lol

Crazy isn't it! Good work!!!

Miaoreo,

I hear ya about one more surgery.... I have body issues that will need another surgery too

You can get your sides to suck in without surgery.

Make an appointment with a good doctor of physical therapy and tell them you want a defined waist and whatever other issues you want to correct. They'll be able to give you exercises that address your specific body issues.

Different from a body trainer, Doctors of PT also factor in your individual medical/health issues and devise a program to meet your individual needs working around and/or strengthening your weak spots to help you bring it all together- without surgery or until you're able to have the surgery.

Thanks everyone for your support & likes.

It's truly amazing when we see ourselves as we are- in our transformative states

A bit of a shock to see & acknowledge
