There is something unique about my body shape that I have never seen on another human , and it has me a bit freaked out, i weigh 189 pounds.(im 5'4 tall) About 20 of those pounds are my arms and legs. My thigh is 20 in around and my upper arm is 10 in. I got a pretty small butt too. BUT,.my hips and my stomach is HUGE! 48 inch hips and 43 inch stomach. It is so odd looking. I feel like one of those malnurtrioned children that you see in Ethiopia on the Feed the children videos. I feel like a hardboiled egg with 4 toothpicks sticking out of it. I am low income and am on insurance that only allows me one doctor in my area, and he is an idiot. Ive been watching my weight and exercising and trying to get these measurements down for years. It is impossible for me to buy pants out of the store except streach and sweats. Everything that fits around the leg, I cant get buttoned, if they fit the waist, the legs look like clown pants.does anyone know what causes my shape to be like this?

I've had the same problem my whole life. People always said my legs looked like toothpicks. At my highest weight, I could only fit my stomach into a size 26 pants, but if not for my stomach I could have easily fit into a size 14. I gained 80 lbs through my twenties and after having 2 kids. I started dieting and exercising and eventually lost 100 lbs. But I still had a huge stomach so I had a tummy tuck. I dropped from a size 20 to 14 after the surgery. I don't know what causes it, but I'm guessing it's just genetics because my mother and grandmother had the same body type.

i'm responding as a qualified own coach and licensed Nutritionist and under no circumstances as a menu planner, because the purpose right here's to reshape your body, no longer, prioritize alluring your palate. the coolest information is that your coach IS having you devour quite many times, which reduces the body's "worry / survival" mechanism for replacing spare carbs into fat. i'm assuming through the eating trend I see that your routines are taking position early interior the day ( carb loading early interior the day to fule the artwork out, and a protein load previous due for muscle boom / restore ), and that you at the on the spot are not an early riser. fat, convinced are genuinely a necissity, although, as you're attepmting to get some controle over your intake .. convinced, devour lean, and get your fat through intense omega supplementations ( Fish / flax oil ) .. realistically, we do no longer have neough files to totally critique the burden help plan plan, yet, it is no longer too undesirable for the point reported.

I'm no experts but maybe you should go to the doctor and get your cortisol levels checked. Cortisol causes excess fat around the midsection.
