Feeling discouraged about my belly fat
I posted a while ago about wanting to lose my belly fat. So I've been working out quite a bit. I have a fitness center in my new apartment building, and so I've been working out there. Plus I always go for a walk between an hour and two hours every night. I love walking, and it's relaxing for me. I've been following all the the nutrition guides on this site. I eat what they recommend for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. I haven't had any sweets except Christmas day. But I worked out on Boxing Day. So I measured myself for the first time since I started dieting and exercising a lot. I measured my arms (forearms and wrists) legs (calves and thighs) , neck, hips, belly area, the part where my rib bones are. And every single place I've lost inches except my belly area. And that is the spot that I need to lose the weight. I was already very skinny in the rest of the areas. My arms are so thin that you can see my veins and and all the indentations where the muscles are.
I had to buy a new bra because those are smaller. I had to buy new underwear because my other pairs were starting too get big. You can see my rib bones a lot. My body frame is smaller because I took pictures and compared them. My stomach is still sticking out really far though. And it's hard, not flabby. I just don't understand. I am considering going to a doctor about this, because it doesn't seem right.
Anyone been through this? What did you do?
I'm still kind of wondering if it's maybe my diet. I am following the diet foods here, and I only drink water or unsweetened almond milk. I was like this before I started dieting. Sweet drinks unless it's orange juice (which I don't drink often) or chocolate milk (almond milk) gross me out. I haven't had orange juice since summer. But there has to be a reason why I still have stomach fat, and it's not a little bit. It's a lot.
