Aaliyah asked in HealthDiet & Fitness · 2 years ago

I am skinny (can see my ribs) but my lower belly sticks out a little bit. Why?

Doesn't stick out like crazy or anything, probably unnoticeable (just something I am aware of about my body and nobody else sees it) but there is definitely fat held just around my lower belly area!

My thighs are also quite thick. 45kg but they could jiggle for at least 10-whole-Mississippi's. WHY?!

Update:

I also do yoga and train muay thai, and am very conscious of what I eat... so the problem surely isn't being sedentary or being on a bad diet... so...........

    Pms? Period? Stressed? Or just bloat? Other medical conditions can cause it to candida for example. I am not sure how big the bloat is though and I don’t want to freak you out. If you’re stressed, stress can sure cause bloat every time I’m stress I get bloated this period for me skipped this month to so I have been bloating a lot lately but I am skinny to other days I am too skinny. Our bodies can do weird things. How much water do you drink? Water actually reduces bloating also. I don’t know how but strawberries does it for me. But no one is always skinny please try not to stress so much about it it will only make things worse for your body I learned this the hard way.

    Because you are a human being and not a matchstick?!

    Is your posture on point? Tilt your pelvis upwards, your tummy pulls in and your buttocks tighten.

    You slouch. A girl at work does that, she always looks like she could be a little pregnant and trying to keep it secret but she looks like she’s early pregnant all the time because her posture sucks

    You eat sugar on a regular basis.

    That is why you are fat.

    Your organs are in much worse condition.

    This isn't opinion and it's happening whether you agree or not.
