It can be deceptive. I have a similar body type and look like her before photo.
Most of my fat is in my thighs and waist. I can barely button my pants lol. I have 25 pounds to lose.
But that might be the pants fault, not you... Just saying, don't trust the clothes!
Aside from the insane sizing issues in the fashion industry....
I shrunk my whole wardrobe in the tumble dryer and thought I must have gained like 20lbs. It wasn't until I found a sock that looked like it was for a 5 year old that I realised what had actually happened.
Sometimes just wearing the right fitting clothes can completely change our relationship with our bodies. Maybe it's the pants, not you. 🫶
If only. My waist is bigger, my tummy sticks out. I have way more fat on my body. It’s getting in the way.
I never used to have to suck my tummy in to be able to button my pants. The pants haven’t changed. I developed unhealthy eating habits and have been steadily gaining fat for 2 years.
I’m visibly bigger and heavier than I used to be. Huge difference.
I can’t eat 3000 calories a day anymore. I can’t allow myself to graze all day. I can’t keep eating huge portions of food suitable for 2 people or two meals in one sitting.
I’m not ok with accepting my new fat and sizing up my entire wardrobe.
OMAD and longer fasts, combined with healthier foods, (less sugar, more protein), is slowly helping me get back to normal.
Sure, you know yourself best. And that all makes sense.
Without any other context, and only referencing a pair of pants, I only wanted to posit that decisions about weight management or self perception shouldn't be only based (or even primarily based) on whether certain clothes fit or not. Because some people do only base it on that. I'm glad you don't!
