Unusual waist measurements
I've noticed I weird pattern in my waist/tummy measurements.
My actual waist (narrowest part is 31 inches)
My belly button is 36
The fattest part of my stomach (lower down) is 43 inches (mortifying!)
And yet I comfortably wear a size 10 (US size) up top. I wouldn't say I have a lot of muscle mass. Most 12s fall off me. None of my clothes are tight. I'm trying to get down to a six overall and plan to lose about 30-40 more lbs. My actual waist line seems to be going down measurement-wise, but not my belly button area or the "fattest" area of my stomach. I always thought my belly was the least of my worries (I'm a hips girl,) but these measurements have freaked me out! It's strange, my tummy is actually fairly flat from just above the belly-button, but below I have a little tummy that sticks out a bit, though not vastly. Surely in going from a 10 to a 6 I won't lose more than 6-8 inches, which means I'll end up with a tiny "natural" waist line, but a 35 inch belly at my biggest point.
I don't want to end up a thin girl who is still fat (if that makes sense.) But I don't think there's much I can do about it, other than hope that it comes off there next. Is it normal for the belly to be a lot bigger than the waist?
