Well, my waist is great but I am a total pear shape, My waist is currently at 31inches but my hips are a 45inches, I've resigned myself to the fact I'll never be a skinny jeans girls as that would just look silly! I'm hoping to shave off around 7 inches from my hips over the next 6/12 months and i'll take what i can get off them for holiday!
I bought a French Connection bikini that was in the sale on asos, its black with a tropical print, makes my boobs look bigger than they are (bonus) and the bottoms have bows on the side which distracts from the big hips issue, I've just ordered one of those cut out suits as I am thinking that will highlight waist so nobody looks at bum, not sure though, have plenty of sarongs if I feel self confident but at this rate I'll feel fab as even when I'm bad I am feeling okay about it once I have rationalised with myself!!
My sister is the same, we have junk in our trunks! however she is a slim size 8-10 (she has always been the slim one you see) but she dresses really well so you cant tell, I'm taking fashion styling from Kim Kardashian as she has a bigger booty but look amazing, just wish my boobs would stop shrinking!!!!
Gym was hard but I like that after exercise feeling I get when I go, did loads of squats the gym trainer says that will make my bum something to be proud of (I am starting to believe him as its gone from a blob to a rather nice pert ish shape) no gym tonight though! I am managing 3 times a week one of which being Yoga, I dont want to do too much as I know for me exercise isn't something I find a lot of time to do so if I went hardcore any weight I lost as a result would just go back on, I find it easier to just diet and control food intake.
Do you exercise much Belle? hows your waist shaping up, I've found my belly button looks sad if that makes sense, I'm hoping its just as I need to tone and lose more that it will go back to how it used to be when I was 18!!
