Can I have you back?

"Hey 24-inch-waist! Can I have you back?" =(

As we grow older, changes in our body are inevitable. Some skinny boys become obese men; obese girls become skinny women. Some tubby ladies turn into voluptuous ones and some thin lads turn into hunky ones.

When I was just at the outset of my teenage years, I was really skinny. I can still remember how I get peeved whenever a classmate would call me "walking stick". Lolz! I had no idea why I was so thin when I could eat up 3 cups of rice during lunch.

The Walking Stick

I started to get conscious of my body and face when I was a first year high school student. Certainly, that's normal as I was in the puberty age. I was still thin then, but what made me frustrated was having flat chest and bottom. If you would glance sideways at me, you would see a living-wall.

Junior high came. My body developed. Well FOR ME, that bod shape was the best I could have. It lasted for 3 years, I guess. And when I hit sophomore year of college, I gained weight. People around me said they preferred this banana-shaped body. I was fine with it. As time rolled by, body fats increased. The girl with a 49-kilo weight became a lady with a 55-kilo weight. Still happy with it! :)

What really annoyed me was my tummy. It got bigger. And it annoyed me more to see a huge lower abdomen in front of a mirror as bad as my love handles. It was ironic to hear from a pageant organizer saying I may be a drunkard due to my big tummy. I was like "how would that happen when I don't drink alcohol at all?". I took it positively. Thus, it has been 2 months since I started working out. I used to go to gym when I was in the Philippines. Now that I am busy working here in Saudi Arabia, I try to spend at least an hour sweating out. I just do some exercises at home. Since I focus on my core muscles, I bought an Ab King Pro.

Where will these exercises lead me? Is it effective? How long will it take to get a flat abdomen? None of these questions are easy to answer. Nonetheless, I will continue what I started and I look forward to see a flat abdomen next time I stand in front of a mirror. This ain't purely about beauty, health speaks here as well.

P.S. Pictures above are raw. No edit. I know my lower abdomen is bulky on the last picture. Constructive criticism is welcome. Should there be any changes on my bod, imma post pictures right away.
