I was so excited a few months ago when my waist (slimmest part) dropped below 35", since it seems to be a generally accepted indicator of visceral fat. Which I'm trying to reduce since my weight loss motivation is long-term health.
But now I find out I should be measuring at the belly button and I've actually still got a little ways to go 😅
I'm not devastated, just surprised. Especially since I'm actually quite comfortable in my body for once. I feel good, I think my remaining belly is cute instead of cringing at it. And yet. And yet the general indications still say I'm within the risk range.
As someone who's been overweight her entire life (I, 5'6" female, hovered at 180-190 for a long time), and has now lost 30 pounds, it's so mind-bending that I, the chronic chubby girl, have to lose another....what equals 2-3 inches? 20 pounds, at least?
I don't even know if I want to be that small.
Anyway, just something to process. Curious to hear others' thoughts on the matter. Again, I'm not devastated, and I know this is just one metric among several others regarding overall health. But it's still a metric.
