Why is my body so unproportional?

Question

I've been losing some weight lately-- not a lot, just like 10 pounds. I weigh around 180 pounds now. I'm 17, and I'm 5'10, if that helps.
My body is weird, because my-- whatever it's called, the area above your stomach, is pretty thin, but then when you get down to that area below the stomach, I am a lot bigger. It's annoying, becuse I tend to wear my pants somewhat low, and I need to buy a size 36 waist. It's weird because I know guys who weigh a lot-- like 50 pounds more than I do who wear the same size waist.
Am I just designed weird, or something?
Is there a way to even myself out, or something?
Thanks.

Answer 1

Genetics certainly play a part in the way all of our bodies are shaped. You are still growing and in a couple of years you will have a better idea of how your body will end up looking. in the mean time try to get plenty of exercise and eat good foods. It will all work out.

Answer 2

Your hormones have alot to do with your body shaping and you might change a good bit until you are 21 years old. I would go to a gym for a "free week" and get a trainer to give me some exercises I could do to improve my body strength. It might be just the way God made you. You're lucky you're a guy...and have the potential to make your body just about anyway you want it. Good luck honey.

Answer 3

You sound like a member of the pear family. Learn to live with it and enjoy being shaped this way. Perhaps you could exercise and tone your lower body into a slimmer condition.

Answer 4

Unfortunately nothing its genetics probly built like a grandmother, your mother or an aunt. Check it out oneday!

Answer 5

Talk to your doctor. I think most guys aren't fully grown at 17.

Answer 6

Please have your parents take you to an endocrinologist to be tested for Cushings syndrome.Make sure he/she orders a 24 hour urine free cortisol test and NOT a blood test.

I wish you the best.
