Apron Belly
This isn’t a very long question, but I’m going to add a lot of extra words and context so I meet the word minimum.
I’ve seen several posts about how belly’s are usually the last place to trim down. I really do understand.
I have an apron belly and am almost down 100 pounds. I’ve gone from 290 pounds to 193 pounds. I haven’t been in “ONDERLAND” since 6th grade. I’m 33 now.
I’m thrilled with the progress I’ve made. My goal is to have a healthy waist measurement and be a healthy BMI. I assume this will happen at about 150 pounds. I’m 5’6”.
I’ve lost inches pretty steadily all over, but where I may lose 1.5 to 2 inches somewhere else, my belly will only be down 0.5 - 1 inch.
As I lose more weight, will it start to come off my apron belly more quickly? I don’t tend to carry weight in my lower body. I guess I’m kinda…scared? Idk…in a way that I’m going to have to get super super lean to get my belly smaller.
I don’t want a 6 pack, or even a flat tummy necessarily. I’d like to enjoy a dessert here and there. I’m very active and eat 90% clean Whole Foods. I’m talking local grass fed beef, local chicken, locally grown organic produce etc. Minimal snacks beyond fruit. But occasionally I do enjoy dessert or going out to Mexican.
This journey is so much about balance and healing my relationship with food. I don’t want to sacrifice that in the name of a toned belly, but it’s also my biggest displeasure with my figure.
Guess I’m just looking for some idea of what to expect? Idk I know no one can really say what my specific body will do.
