It’s me! That’s why we might be heavier than we look…so a healthy weight for someone with our body type might be lower than average. At least that’s what I think. The weight we carry around or midsection is the most detrimental to our health. So two ppl can be same height and have same fat percentage, but because we carry fat in our midsection we would have more health issues. So for that reason, we should still try to push to lose weight because it’s unhealthy for our body type, even though we look healthy and normal from the outside. That’s another reason why ppl always say bmi isn’t always the best to determine health. Not just for super muscular people, but for people who store fat in areas of their body that puts them more at risk. There’s nothing we can do about it either, it’s not like there’s something we can do so our weight can be redistributed to the rest of our bodies or only lose weight on our tummies. The only thing we can do is lose overall fat.
You have to check your hormones your diabetis and PCOS and ovarian cysts cause for a woman having fat on the belly is not healthy and it’s a symptom of something ( unless you are old and menopausal)
@@FoundSheep-ANuh what...a woman typically has more fat then a man, and apple shaped bodies exist. I'm confused on this reasoning, healthy can come in different shapes, as long as you aren't obese/extremely out of shape or severely underweight it's all good. Think you might need to log off the Internet for a bit
@@FoundSheep-ANplease never speak on women’s health ever again bc it is 100% normal to have belly fat or this body shape. most women do not have flat stomachs and if they do they most likely have an inverted uterus
@@wellthatsunfortunate9419 yea my arms are like super knobbly and my legs are kinda skinny (I do play soccer tho so idrk) but my stomach frfr be carrying food baby triplets 💀
@snickerswo1f519 Okay, girl. But a lot of Mexicans do have this apple shape. It really depends on your genetics. Usually those with more Indigenous genes are the ones with this body type. But not always 😅 obviously the it comes out more if you have a higher percentage of fat so even if you were to have this shape you don't see it until you gain extra fat. More common for short but medium frame women.
+Elfayry Same here! Every time I try on a dress, I hate the ones that make me look like I'm pregnant and despite how cute it is, I usually scrap them like "nope." But then as I'm older now, I've started to care slightly less about that factor since a lot of has to do with what we choose to eat/consume and put into our bodies as well. Even if it's say the smallest amount of "muffin top fat,"-I've heard that this is normal to have, but at the same time, it's what we choose to eat that allows it to be like that. Most kids/teens should *never ever* have to worry about this since the majority of them have fast metabolism. Activity level can play a factor too, but ik everyone's bodies are different. Ik some ppl can get crazy exercise, eat super healthy & still have the small pudge of fat.
@@Afrogirrl but what is flattering? What is it really? I get told something is flattering when I look thinner, taller, or tanner in it. And I feel like "flattering" isn't the only way something can be cute or attractive

You’re super beautiful but you’re ability to put yourself out there for the sake of helping another despite not feeling super confident truly makes you even more beautiful and real. Much respect to you ❤
I'm with you on carrying weight mostly on my middle, it's so hard finding stuff with wide waists and skinny legs lmao thank you for a realistic look into our struggle!
It is so hard to find stop for wide waist period. Especially cuz then they make every other proportion bigger and im like man im short with no tiddies, nothing ever fits right :(
I had to cut out processed carbs and sugar for a few months to see if it helped decrease my eczema (it did) and I lost a few inches off of my waist but realistically if you enjoy food it's hard to keep a slim waist 😢
Thank you for talking about this. I'm not Indian but have more belly fat than anything else. It's so common but underrepresented. Even plus size models much bigger than me have flat stomachs. Someone thought I was pregnant recently. Love the white dress and the blue outfit 😍
Thank youuuu I feel like our body type is honestly really common but it gets no coverage on social media so it can be easy to forget that we aren’t weird or less beautiful for it!
Finally someone online with my body type!! You should totally make this a series where you try different styles and materials and stuff to see what fits best and is the most flattering and what you tend to stay away from. I feel like it would help a lot of us
literally. i have what i have referred to as a “beer belly” most of my life. i’m not curvy my stomach just pokes out when i gain weight instead of being evenly distributed and most plus size models and clothes all have some kind of hour glass or straight body type. i rarely see ones with my stomach
im mostly slim, but i have a really sensitive stomach and bloat easily which makes it so hard to find clothes, thank you for posting this to show that the girls with tummies arent alone
That’s what happens to me too. I eat one meal and I get bloated so quick not mention I don’t eat much it sucks. I’ve learned to just love the way my body has to be.
It may be worth getting screened for IBD. Elimination or FOD map temporary diets can help determine causes. Also daily fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchi), pre and probiotics, digestive enzymes can help. And there is also micro biome fecal transplant to consider. My cats are undergoing that now for their IBD and so far so good. They take a daily dose of their poop pills. It’s early days so we won’t know results for a couple of months. But lots of studies on positive results.
Love I understand because I'm skinny fat and curvy! And I also have a belly belly. But I've learned that it's good to have your clothes tailored to your height and figure. And also, confidence! You have to be confident in your walk and have a polite and well mannered attitude and tone. That's what attracts a lot of people despite not having a slim BBL and a regular BBL.
OMG FINALLY!!! This is what I feel my body type is, not straight up fat, but not very slim either. Feels great to know that there are others like me out there.
Love that! For me (I’m 4’ 11”) I’m glad she shows this cause I’ve always been super insecure about any tummy fat or having hips and a chest as opposed to petite girls with smaller chests and hips or thighs. I’ve been super insecure about that because I feel like it makes me look fat when it’s just my normal body weight for once
I’m have the same body type as well. I’m 4’11 and I feel like my stomach sticks out no matter how much exercise and diet changes I have tried. It’s annoying when trying to get dressed.
i am so glad you posted this. I have struggled with my body type because of my big belly and seeing all the influencers having I smile belly made me feel alone. seeing this video made me realize that I'm not the only one Luke this. thank you so much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don’t want to disregard your feelings about your body, but I hope you take comfort in knowing three simple facts. 1. Bellies aren’t supposed to be flat, especially on a woman whose body needs a higher body fat percentage to be healthy. Anything under 18% is borderline underweight and anything under 15% is unhealthy. 1 a. Hourglass figures suck, trust me I have one and it blows. Nothing at all has ever fit me without alterations. And even so I get comments both positive, negative and envious from every angle. 2. If the persons opinion is worth your worry, it’s going to be a positive opinion anyway. Don’t give negative people your energy. Let them be unhappy with themselves without satisfaction of your discomfort. 3. You have been fed nonsense about what a beautiful so long you never got the chance to develop a sense of what YOU think is beautiful. Take that right back. Nobody gets to tell you what you think is beautiful.
Same! After a transplant I gained weight especially around my belly which has been such a hard transition. It’s nice to know that ppl also have the same body type and find ways to be confident
Yes!!! I have lost 41 lbs. Was petite extra large and size 14 because of my belly. Now i am a 4 petite and small tops, and weigh 122# and I look skinny fat because of my belly. I have exactly your body type. But im 5'2" i still need to lose a bit more. Thanks for this video. No one understands skinny fat..they tell me to just be grateful i lost weight...
I also have the body type. It's caused by a little bit of bloating from food as well, not just fat. I just got it a few months ago from medication and it's been a struggle lol. Keep on staying positive!
FINALLY SOMEONE WITH MY BODY TYPE. i'm 5'3" and about 105-110lbs so i'm not big by any means but i store fat around my tummy and thighs (stick arms but my belly makes me look 5 months pregnant), but i've been insecure about it foreveeerrrr
I don’t consider myself petite or skinny fat, but I am relatively average weight everywhere except literally all my fat goes to my stomach. Like, it’s not even dispersed around my waist area, just the front and center stomach. So yeah, “it’s giving baby shower” is so accurate beyond belief girl and I love you for it
@@nony690water weight, helps with water retention. Most people that say they’re skinny fat just eat high carb relative to fats and protein since carbs bind to water easily.
@@nony690 so stomach fat retention can definitely be hereditary and down to genetics or a hormonal thing. I'm naturally top heavy and all of my weight goes to my torso ( arms, back, stomach) but I find that when I cut back on gluten and white carbs I don't feel so bloated and have less of a stomach. I do this for a week or so if I'm going to wear something tight. Warm water and lemon has been proven to calm stomach gasses and help with food digestion which will contribute towards a flatter appearing stomach (especially after eating the things i mentioned)
The only time I’ve had a flat stomach is when I’ve been underweight - if I gain even any healthy weight the first place it goes is my stomach 😂 so I’ve learnt to accept it and work around it! So thanks for this vid
Just to clarify the term skinny fat tends to refer to people who are petite but unknowingly are carrying a lot of fat internally around their organs it’s pretty dangerous because externally they wouldn’t consider themselves fat at all. I have no idea if the girl in this video is skinny fat because you can’t tell by looking. But I would say it more likely she is just an apple body type ‘slim legs and arms but carry more weight around the middle no defined waist’ just like skinny fat this can be an issue due to any extra weight around the middle increases the risk of their being too much fat around the organs. Personally I think clothing is crap these days none of it is made to fit body types they should do away with sizes and cater more for body types. I can never find trousers that look good on me and it makes shopping an awful chore when nothing looks good because it’s not cut for your body shape 😢 loved the two piece at the end.
I was going to comment that. People like this have a higher chance of storing fat around the organs and not under the skin , which is more dangerous for their health.
I am facing this right now I do try some exercises and control my eating habits but any tips on what to do if you have any idea? Would like to take in people who have been through this or is going through it or maybe knows how to control it. I would be thankful.
@@Kuinliu..if your goal is to lose weight then calorie deficit is the only real way to lose weight. 1300-1500 is typically the more steady way of losing weight without being unhealthy.
How do you find out if you have fat around your organs? I deff feel like I might be a candidate for that considering how much I eat and how my body appears to Store fat
I have seen tons of body image videos trying to help people who are struggling with their own body type, but you are the first person I've seen with my body type, thank you so much ❤️
I think the idea of seeing our body as anything other than amazing feats of nature that allow us to live, breathe, experience life, and function is bonkers. Your body is amazing. I watched my mother through cancer treatment and heart failure and its earth shattering. I’m thankful you have a body that allows you to live and share your experiences online with us 💕🙏🏻
THIS IS ME! i’m so glad you shared this, it feels comforting knowing that people with my body type are not only out there (which i know is crazy given 8 billion people, but you know how brains can be sometimes lol) but also are showing it off in a positive and informative manner! i don’t mind having a tummy… but i do get insecure not being flat sometimes. i just try to remind myself that those are my organs in there keeping me alive!
I've always had 'belly' weight. But, 'skinny-fat' means one whom has more fat%, vs. Muscle%. To find out, you have to get those numbers measured. But, that's a rude, generalized comment, that you heard! Our bodies are not designed to be stick-skinny, in my opinion😢
It’s because of biology, i’m an indian too. Our diets consist of lots of carbs and fats (from oils). Many indians abstain from eating meats and this leads to skinny fat. Also in our culture health is not prioritized as much compared to stuff like education and status. We deep fry lots of stuff and rarely excersize.
This!! True skinny fat is also called normal weight obesity and is actually quite rare. It means the person has excess fat around their organs and less subcutaneous fat and can be more dangerous than regular obesity because of where the fat is.
Thank you SO much for putting yourself out there & sharing this bc I struggle w this soooo much! I workout like crazy & have a decent amount of muscle but my stomach just holds fat & seeing other people struggle w that too is so validating bc I’m very hard on myself when all I see is people with flat stomachs! You look gorgeous no matter what! Thank you for being an inspiration! ❤
I was told i was skinny fat when i was skinny. I used to suck in my stomach. Then after some time i finally stopped and just started accepting and loving my body for what it is and my imperfections.
Omg ty for talking about this!! I am 5’2 and around 150 pounds and it’s so hard to find clothes that hug my body and my heart so thank you for this! ❤️❤️
I’m actually gonna sob. Immediately subbed. I’ve never seen ANYONE with my body type before, and I’ve always been so insanely insecure because of how large my stomach is compared to everything else
Plss this is exactly my body type. like I'm skinny but my stomach has more fat than the rest of my body. it's not that much bigger but it makes me feel insecure. I can't even wear crop tops, or bathing suits bc I feel like everyone is staring at me and judging me.
Try peplum tops. They hide the stomach very well. I’ve had babies so my stomach pokes out much more than that. Even when I’m skinny. And don’t let nobody body shame you. You’re a really pretty girl
thank you so much. My entire life people have always been allowed to comment on my stomach/body but I've never been allowed to be insecure or worried of my weight without getting eye rolls and being told I'm acting shallow. Too skinny yet too fat. Just recently I tried on a dress, and my mother told me "your front and your back looks great!" I asked about my side profile. She just repeated herself. I didn't get the dress. She was trying to be nice but it still hurt. I've grown from hating my body deeply to loving most of it, yet my tummy has always been a sore spot. I don't mean to be throwing a pity party here, but it's just nice to see another body type like me.
I’m definitely skinny fat after two kids. Been crying ever since because how do I find flattering clothes for a stomach that won’t go away? Thank you for this!!! ❤❤❤
High waisted clothes are normally the move! A-line/skater skirts, high waisted jeans, etc. You shouldn't feel ashamed for your stomach, as having two babies is bound to leave loose skin, even if you lose all the actual fat. It's completely natural and only removable via tummy tuck. Your body doesn't need fixing though
The body changes as you grow older. I’m not Indian, but i am a women and we struggle. Started out skinny, bottom heavy when I was young. Then my body slowly seemed to even out all around for a while. I was happy, but now in my later 50s, my mid section has grown. We just have to do the best we can with what genetics and time have given us.
Skinny fat is not a body type, as that simply has to do with fat/muscle ratio. You might be thinking of apple or figure O bodyshape instead. There are many different names for it, what they have in common is the belly/mid section being where one stores most weight, regardless of what size one uses in clothes.
Thank you for coming out and representing the skinny fat crew! I have PCOS so I also carry most of my weight in my abdomen and it is nearly impossible to lose it without a lot of food ingredient restrictions so my process has been very slow. Being skinny fat feels so awkward but I’m glad to see others relate!
Girl sameeeee. I’m short so I have a small torso too. But everyone tells me I’m soo small. I’m a small human but my belly fat is still there lol. I was even slightly underweight at one point and still did not have a “flat” stomach
I have the same body type as you. Clothing can be a nightmare and truly uncomfortable sometimes when you tend to carry weight in the mid section and some popular styles dont sit or look right either, trust me... i know. Thanks for sharing because you arent alone there. Ive been getting right into some of the high waisted types of pants lately. Mainly because the tight part of the pants is above the tummy area where the waist is skinniest so i find they work for me in that regard.
I have been looking for someone with the same body type as me! I’m so glad now thanks to you I know what my body type is! It makes me feel so much better too!!❤
I can relate. I’m Korean Canadian and have never had a skinny flat stomach whether I was age six or twenty six or now in my middle age era. Even when I lost a lot of weight due to illness a couple years, I still had my teddy bear pudge. Wtf. The K-pop and K-drama set totally unrealistic body image expectations. We can’t all have Chanel ambassador size 0 bodies like Blackpink. 😂
girl u are so awesome for this! i have always thought i had unevenly spread lumps and rolls lol but really i just have a body! It’s always a lot harder for me to criticize others than to criticize myself- so thank you for the reality check🤗
South Asian here and this is my body type. So glad other people relate to having more weight in the stomach area. Ik women are meant to have fat there for their uterus, but it still makes me self-conscious, so seeing other women with the same body type as me is comforting. You look great and thank you! ❤
I have never felt so seen. My limbs are really skinny and twig like and all my fat tends to land in my stomach. It can be a real struggle when dressing. I’m so glad you posted this cause I’ve always thought something was just wrong with me and I was the only one.
The struggle is REAL! I have to try to have hardly any fat on me to look “in shape” because any fat will go to my stomach meanwhile there are other girls 20lbs overweight but look “in shape” because it’s all in their legs or butt. I do find that working out my legs and butt makes me look a little more balanced so there’s that. Thank you for posting!
You’re beautiful and thanks for sharing. My body is like this if I’m not dieting/working out and it’s really freeing to accept it in any state. Our bellies and thighs and hips are beautiful, they carry so many nutrients for potential children if you want them, and being healthy is primary goal. Being healthy is the most important, and that’s not going to always look like someone super skinny. When I was super skinny I was not healthy. I need to get over things being “flattering” or not to others, there’s so many crochet outfits I’d love to wear but feel like you have to be super skinny for it work, which is absolutely not true. Let’s love ourselves this summer
I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE WITH MY EXACT BODY TYPE!! i love you for this 🫶🫶

3. You have been fed nonsense about what a beautiful so long you never got the chance to develop a sense of what YOU think is beautiful. Take that right back. Nobody gets to tell you what you think is beautiful.
@@codename495 omg, thank you so much ❤💗💜
Same! After a transplant I gained weight especially around my belly which has been such a hard transition. It’s nice to know that ppl also have the same body type and find ways to be confident
The last one was so cuuuute!!
Yes!!! I have lost 41 lbs. Was petite extra large and size 14 because of my belly. Now i am a 4 petite and small tops, and weigh 122# and I look skinny fat because of my belly. I have exactly your body type. But im 5'2" i still need to lose a bit more. Thanks for this video. No one understands skinny fat..they tell me to just be grateful i lost weight...
I also have the body type. It's caused by a little bit of bloating from food as well, not just fat. I just got it a few months ago from medication and it's been a struggle lol. Keep on staying positive!
I’ve had a gut since I was in 9th grade and it made me so insecure I was only 120-125 but couldn’t get my belly flat 😭
@@kay-kw5ioeven at my smallest of 92 pounds 5 feet 3 inches I still carried in my mid section. Thats just one area that no matter my weight is large
I might have to speak to my doctor about this too. I’m average weight but as soon as I eat my stomach bloats a lot. Hopefully something manageable.
FINALLY SOMEONE WITH MY BODY TYPE. i'm 5'3" and about 105-110lbs so i'm not big by any means but i store fat around my tummy and thighs (stick arms but my belly makes me look 5 months pregnant), but i've been insecure about it foreveeerrrr
Sammeeee except I'm 5'7 😢
That last blue one SLAYS 💙
Yea, I'm a little more stomach heavy, so it's hard finding dresses that I like that I feel nice in, you described the struggle perfectly
I don’t consider myself petite or skinny fat, but I am relatively average weight everywhere except literally all my fat goes to my stomach. Like, it’s not even dispersed around my waist area, just the front and center stomach. So yeah, “it’s giving baby shower” is so accurate beyond belief girl and I love you for it
Try going gluten free and cut white carbs, made a massive difference for me. Warm water after a meal too.
@@k4j826 made a difference how exactly? did it give you the ability to choose which bodyparts your fat goes to? or did you simply lose weight
@@nony690water weight, helps with water retention. Most people that say they’re skinny fat just eat high carb relative to fats and protein since carbs bind to water easily.
@@nony690 so stomach fat retention can definitely be hereditary and down to genetics or a hormonal thing. I'm naturally top heavy and all of my weight goes to my torso ( arms, back, stomach) but I find that when I cut back on gluten and white carbs I don't feel so bloated and have less of a stomach. I do this for a week or so if I'm going to wear something tight. Warm water and lemon has been proven to calm stomach gasses and help with food digestion which will contribute towards a flatter appearing stomach (especially after eating the things i mentioned)
@@k4j826 so it's just for a short term solution? or does it help in the long run as well
The only time I’ve had a flat stomach is when I’ve been underweight - if I gain even any healthy weight the first place it goes is my stomach 😂 so I’ve learnt to accept it and work around it! So thanks for this vid
Such a great post, it’s a real struggle for older women too. I love the white dress and last long blue dress on you! Good fit is a big deal 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Please post more content like this, especially with styles that ARE flattering
I am skinny fat as well. This video helped sooooo much, ty. ❤❤
Just to clarify the term skinny fat tends to refer to people who are petite but unknowingly are carrying a lot of fat internally around their organs it’s pretty dangerous because externally they wouldn’t consider themselves fat at all. I have no idea if the girl in this video is skinny fat because you can’t tell by looking. But I would say it more likely she is just an apple body type ‘slim legs and arms but carry more weight around the middle no defined waist’ just like skinny fat this can be an issue due to any extra weight around the middle increases the risk of their being too much fat around the organs.
Personally I think clothing is crap these days none of it is made to fit body types they should do away with sizes and cater more for body types. I can never find trousers that look good on me and it makes shopping an awful chore when nothing looks good because it’s not cut for your body shape 😢 loved the two piece at the end.
I was going to comment that. People like this have a higher chance of storing fat around the organs and not under the skin , which is more dangerous for their health.
I am facing this right now I do try some exercises and control my eating habits but any tips on what to do if you have any idea? Would like to take in people who have been through this or is going through it or maybe knows how to control it. I would be thankful.
@@Kuinliu..if your goal is to lose weight then calorie deficit is the only real way to lose weight. 1300-1500 is typically the more steady way of losing weight without being unhealthy.
@@redwoodrumor6906 thank you 💙
How do you find out if you have fat around your organs? I deff feel like I might be a candidate for that considering how much I eat and how my body appears to Store fat
Normalize these type of body types!! You go girl, thanks for posting this up.
Finally found someone with my body type omlllll I felt so depresso and lonley man Im sooo happy!
Yess i have a belly too and its really annoying finding dresses that dont look like im 2 months pregnant
I have seen tons of body image videos trying to help people who are struggling with their own body type, but you are the first person I've seen with my body type, thank you so much ❤️
You somehow humanized her and made her compelling. Lol. That takes talent and a gift for storytelling. This series was so good.
I think the idea of seeing our body as anything other than amazing feats of nature that allow us to live, breathe, experience life, and function is bonkers. Your body is amazing.
I watched my mother through cancer treatment and heart failure and its earth shattering. I’m thankful you have a body that allows you to live and share your experiences online with us 💕🙏🏻
That is very sweet and insightful. I am so incredibly sorry you had to witness your mom endure such suffering.
As someone who is theoretically dying (heart failure and failed kidneys and without dialysis i will die) you aint kidding!!!❤❤❤❤ be strong.
THIS IS ME! i’m so glad you shared this, it feels comforting knowing that people with my body type are not only out there (which i know is crazy given 8 billion people, but you know how brains can be sometimes lol) but also are showing it off in a positive and informative manner! i don’t mind having a tummy… but i do get insecure not being flat sometimes. i just try to remind myself that those are my organs in there keeping me alive!
I love the 2nd one and the blue one at the end totally gorgeous….
Ikr!! 😭😭😭 I find it hard to wear these type of clothes , I just don't feel right event though I like it 😭😭
I've always had 'belly' weight. But, 'skinny-fat' means one whom has more fat%, vs. Muscle%. To find out, you have to get those numbers measured. But, that's a rude, generalized comment, that you heard! Our bodies are not designed to be stick-skinny, in my opinion😢
Totally agreed
It’s because of biology, i’m an indian too. Our diets consist of lots of carbs and fats (from oils). Many indians abstain from eating meats and this leads to skinny fat. Also in our culture health is not prioritized as much compared to stuff like education and status. We deep fry lots of stuff and rarely excersize.
@@BabyMessi_ i know someone who is south indian and has this exact body type! long legs and all
No you can tell if someone is skinny fat by looking and she is, its nothing to be offended by it's just a term honestly.
This!! True skinny fat is also called normal weight obesity and is actually quite rare. It means the person has excess fat around their organs and less subcutaneous fat and can be more dangerous than regular obesity because of where the fat is.
skirts that are high up like empire waist! or skirts that start a little below the boob area. those are super flattering if you have a bit of tummy !
Like the 2nd dress she wore in this video.
I pick stuff like that cause I get nauseous if something pushes on my tummy
Thank you SO much for putting yourself out there & sharing this bc I struggle w this soooo much! I workout like crazy & have a decent amount of muscle but my stomach just holds fat & seeing other people struggle w that too is so validating bc I’m very hard on myself when all I see is people with flat stomachs! You look gorgeous no matter what! Thank you for being an inspiration! ❤
This is why I love corset tops and corset dresses. ❤ belts help too along the waist and great structured material does wonders
I was told i was skinny fat when i was skinny. I used to suck in my stomach. Then after some time i finally stopped and just started accepting and loving my body for what it is and my imperfections.
HEAVEN FORBID women have organs 😂
I carry weight in my belly and thighs and also always look pregnant and have learned to just wear what I like!! you look great!
Omg ty for talking about this!! I am 5’2 and around 150 pounds and it’s so hard to find clothes that hug my body and my heart so thank you for this! ❤️❤️
I’m actually gonna sob. Immediately subbed. I’ve never seen ANYONE with my body type before, and I’ve always been so insanely insecure because of how large my stomach is compared to everything else
Plss this is exactly my body type. like I'm skinny but my stomach has more fat than the rest of my body. it's not that much bigger but it makes me feel insecure. I can't even wear crop tops, or bathing suits bc I feel like everyone is staring at me and judging me.
Try peplum tops. They hide the stomach very well. I’ve had babies so my stomach pokes out much more than that. Even when I’m skinny. And don’t let nobody body shame you. You’re a really pretty girl
Love you for this!! Thank you🙌❤️
I swear we have the same body type and that is just so comforting knowing that I’m not alone
@@thatonerandomkid7429what?
thank you so much. My entire life people have always been allowed to comment on my stomach/body but I've never been allowed to be insecure or worried of my weight without getting eye rolls and being told I'm acting shallow. Too skinny yet too fat.
Just recently I tried on a dress, and my mother told me "your front and your back looks great!" I asked about my side profile. She just repeated herself. I didn't get the dress. She was trying to be nice but it still hurt. I've grown from hating my body deeply to loving most of it, yet my tummy has always been a sore spot. I don't mean to be throwing a pity party here, but it's just nice to see another body type like me.
Aww Thank you for your honesty you are really beautiful❤
Omg, Your not alone! We are exactly like each other. Thanks for opening up. Even if I’m younger then you we still struggle with the same problem.
Literally every single person I see on TikTok has a flat stomach and makes me feel so insecure its finally nice to see someone with my body type
Girllll same it’s like being petite and round at the same dang time ❤
that periwinkle set was so so cute on u !!
Ugh I feel this. It’s so hard to find pants that fit, and I can never wear form fitting dresses bc I look pregnant lol
I’m definitely skinny fat after two kids. Been crying ever since because how do I find flattering clothes for a stomach that won’t go away? Thank you for this!!! ❤❤❤
High waisted clothes are normally the move! A-line/skater skirts, high waisted jeans, etc. You shouldn't feel ashamed for your stomach, as having two babies is bound to leave loose skin, even if you lose all the actual fat. It's completely natural and only removable via tummy tuck. Your body doesn't need fixing though
The body changes as you grow older. I’m not Indian, but i am a women and we struggle. Started out skinny, bottom heavy when I was young. Then my body slowly seemed to even out all around for a while. I was happy, but now in my later 50s, my mid section has grown. We just have to do the best we can with what genetics and time have given us.
THE PURPLE OUTFIT LOOKS SO GOOD OMG 😭😭💜
i love the self-positivity ❤ you’re super pretty and i’m happy you found one that looks so good on you!!
Skinny fat is not a body type, as that simply has to do with fat/muscle ratio. You might be thinking of apple or figure O bodyshape instead. There are many different names for it, what they have in common is the belly/mid section being where one stores most weight, regardless of what size one uses in clothes.
THIS IS MY BODY TYPE !! people get so shocked when I say I use XS size clothing
Im exactly the same!! Love you for posting this ❤!
Thank you so much for posting this - I've developed this body type over the last few years and also hadn't seen anyone else like me. Thank you!
Thank you for coming out and representing the skinny fat crew! I have PCOS so I also carry most of my weight in my abdomen and it is nearly impossible to lose it without a lot of food ingredient restrictions so my process has been very slow. Being skinny fat feels so awkward but I’m glad to see others relate!
Girl sameeeee. I’m short so I have a small torso too. But everyone tells me I’m soo small. I’m a small human but my belly fat is still there lol. I was even slightly underweight at one point and still did not have a “flat” stomach
This is me! Trying on clothing is so depressing nothing fits and I feel like crap so I don't even bother. I hate it, I want cute clothes.
I have the same body type as you. Clothing can be a nightmare and truly uncomfortable sometimes when you tend to carry weight in the mid section and some popular styles dont sit or look right either, trust me... i know. Thanks for sharing because you arent alone there.
Ive been getting right into some of the high waisted types of pants lately. Mainly because the tight part of the pants is above the tummy area where the waist is skinniest so i find they work for me in that regard.
Same, although if I go too high waist it can also majorly accentuate the bloated belly!
I have been looking for someone with the same body type as me! I’m so glad now thanks to you I know what my body type is! It makes me feel so much better too!!❤
I can relate. I’m Korean Canadian and have never had a skinny flat stomach whether I was age six or twenty six or now in my middle age era. Even when I lost a lot of weight due to illness a couple years, I still had my teddy bear pudge. Wtf. The K-pop and K-drama set totally unrealistic body image expectations. We can’t all have Chanel ambassador size 0 bodies like Blackpink. 😂
"You are cursed to be alone" ... Dang that cut deep.😅😅😅
The last one is gorgeous! Love that color on you
I'm the same body type so tysm for reminding me that not everyone is or has to be super skinny ❤
personally I think the green dress and the last dress were so flattering on you!!!
that last one looked so good!!
girl u are so awesome for this! i have always thought i had unevenly spread lumps and rolls lol but really i just have a body! It’s always a lot harder for me to criticize others than to criticize myself- so thank you for the reality check🤗
We live for this! So nice to see someone else with my body type as well. Thank you for sharing!
South Asian here and this is my body type. So glad other people relate to having more weight in the stomach area. Ik women are meant to have fat there for their uterus, but it still makes me self-conscious, so seeing other women with the same body type as me is comforting. You look great and thank you! ❤
Petite girl here! You have my body type! ! The struggle is real. Thanks for sharing.
Istg I was about to cry watching this it feels so good to see other people with my body type😭🩷
Finally someone else who is skinny fat and gets that it shouldn't be seen as a bad thing! Those dresses are all adorable on you and ur so so pretty🫶🫶
in terms of health. it is bad.
@@vivwest yes but I'd rather be skinny fat than starve myself
I have never felt so seen. My limbs are really skinny and twig like and all my fat tends to land in my stomach. It can be a real struggle when dressing. I’m so glad you posted this cause I’ve always thought something was just wrong with me and I was the only one.
The struggle is REAL! I have to try to have hardly any fat on me to look “in shape” because any fat will go to my stomach meanwhile there are other girls 20lbs overweight but look “in shape” because it’s all in their legs or butt. I do find that working out my legs and butt makes me look a little more balanced so there’s that. Thank you for posting!
I have the same body type 😭 wow it’s so refreshing to see someone else w it :c
I didn’t realize this was a body type I’ve been so hard on myself thank you
The lavender one at the end looks stunning on you
You’re beautiful and thanks for sharing. My body is like this if I’m not dieting/working out and it’s really freeing to accept it in any state. Our bellies and thighs and hips are beautiful, they carry so many nutrients for potential children if you want them, and being healthy is primary goal. Being healthy is the most important, and that’s not going to always look like someone super skinny. When I was super skinny I was not healthy. I need to get over things being “flattering” or not to others, there’s so many crochet outfits I’d love to wear but feel like you have to be super skinny for it work, which is absolutely not true. Let’s love ourselves this summer
The blue set was perfect on you girl!
The 2nd one slayed.
The second dress and the last one looks so good on youuu. Ate!!!
