ok, my waist is like 24 inches right now but i still have like pinch an inch belly fat and mini rolls on my sides and belly when i sit/bend over. i can feel hard firm abs underneath, i guess i just have to lose more fat? maybe i just have to get to a very small waist to not have belly jelly?

    okay samariah.... you seriously do know that i am kidding right? your woes are important to us (we may be bigger so your 1 inch seems well... something we'd be happy to have!! lol) but I understand -- everyone has their own issues and knows what they need to do to be healthy and to be comfortable in their own skin. I just wanted you to understand that I don't discount your issues... NOW SWEET SAMARIAH... I"m going to tell you something...

    I am 51. when I was your age I thought my 1 inch roll was horrible. I thought I wasn't pretty, I thought I needed to lose more weight... I thought - I thought... . Truth is - if only someone 51 years old had said to me THEN what I know now...and what I'm going to tell you now.

    Celebrate your beauty, your body! I look back at pictures of me at your age and I think... what was I thinking? I look great - my body is fine!! I wasted a lot of time and energy worrying about not being perfect... if I had only known then.... if I could have that body now - I would be sooo happy... but - that's not happening no matter what I do - cuz well I'm 51. But I can still be the best 51 year old that I can be - and age gracefully and beautifully.

    Star is completely right. I was a miniscule little thang way back then and I was always paranoid about weighing to much and my body image. Guess what happens? You obsess about it and let it change your life. Yes, change your life. You lose self esteem. You don't do fun things. You stay home. And the cycle begins. And the more you fret and avoid fun things because you are not perfect (mentally or physically)

    you magically gain weight from sitting around. Keep working out and eating right and one day you will be surprised and pleased. Love your body and celebrate it every day! Don't wake up one day and say to yourself, gee, I wish I had....(fill in the blank). You know, dance (hula) like no one is watching. Tomorrow comes sooner than you think.
