I’m a 41-year-old woman who’s always been thin but never had a flat stomach. Even at my thinnest (49kg), I still had a little pooch. Now, at 56kg and 167 cm tall, I’m at a good weight. I do CrossFit three times a week and eat relatively healthy. My body looks great—strong arms, legs, and a fab butt thanks to CrossFit squats.
However, my belly still seems big for my frame, especially after having three kids. A year ago, I lost 5kg with a dietician’s help, but it seems like losing another 5kg is the only way to reduce my belly. I don’t want to do this because I enjoy food, and cutting calories further would be exhausting with my busy life.
This belly issue affects my self-esteem. Has anyone else dealt with something similar, and how did you overcome it?
