/hb/ - Health & Beauty

Sorry to break it to you but you're not going to lose weight by doing yoga. Do you like music? Then dance. Get a bike, start moving. Do some research about cutting foods. Exercise and diet, that's all

>>3354
I've been wanting to get into yoga too, but because I've been feeling really stressed. I want to lose weight too, but I'll focus mostly on my diet (which is way more important when it comes to weight loss though it can leave you saggy without proper exercise)

My motivation to lose weight is the fact I feel like there's something wrong in my tummy area, I feel like fat is a parasite, huh. It makes me feel disgusting. My boyfriend loves me the weight I am and I guess I don't look super fat, just a bit chubby, but still..

>>3354
Is this a trap? Ew.

>>3360
looks like an asian woman with a pussy to me

Funny thing you chose that picture, lingerie and swimsuits are a big part of why I want to lose weight and my biggest motivation.

I just want to look cute in as little clothing as possible gdi

>>3360
Why the fuck would you think that?

>>3366
looks like a possible Asian trap to me especially after the mini raid today, maybe it slipped in here.
also some men can tuck their junk so well up their asses for drag/fetishes
that you'd be shocked to know they have a dick.

>>3367

>Why the fuck would you think that?
never lose your innocence, anon.

>>3367
the fat distribution is far too feminine to be a trap

>>3369
err… whatever you say. i'll stop trying to convince you and derailing.
saged.

My motivation to get /fit/ is for purely shallow reasons. I just want to be hot. I'm a relatively healthy person, though I indulge in cigarettes and alcohol a few times. As long as I'm hot, I'll be happy/happier.

>>3375
How will feel when you're older and inevitably start sagging/lose collagen, etc?

>>3376
>implying no one loses collagen as and sag as they age
Everyone ages and I have the genetic insurance for now. I look young for my age and so do the people in my family who have continually smoked and drank.

I do plan on quitting smoking soon and it's only during exam season that I drink a bit more. Thanks for your kind concern, anon.

>>3378
>being that shallow
>being so butthurt over a simple question
hope you go downhill fast

>>3378
Good luck on kicking that habit. I understand why you want to be good-looking, I usually can't work properly if I look like a mess.

>>3381
I'm actually at peace with aging, believe it or not. However, there's no harm in wanting to be hot for the rest of my 20's. I definitely won't go downhill any time soon because of my genetics, so now you're just being bitter. I'm sorry you're so butthurt on how I chose to answer the question.

>>3382
Thanks! I don't want to end up like my grandpa who got diabetes and heart problems from frequent drinking and smoking, so that's my motivation..

>>3355
nta
what type of exercises should I do, anon? And what type of "dance", because I'm sure dancing when you're home alone and get swayed by the just-so-good music you're listening to doesn't count

>>4927
This is a big fear of mine, the husband changing his body part I mean. 100% would break up if my (hypothetical) sticc partner started lifting, muscles are disgusting on men.

Anyway, advice is to start eating less sugar/carbs and more protein while also beginning a basic weightlifting regimen at the gym. Hire a trainer if you have the money, or ask your strongk husband.

>>3354
i wanna be small and sexy for lewd reasons mostly. Basically to please my future husband and myself. I like the idea of being a skinny helpless plaything. I also feel like my body at its current state is offensive (i weigh 154 pounds at 5'3) and I hate that nagging feeling of being an eyesore all day, taking up too much space, etc. I want to be really pretty, someone who ADDS value to a room rather than detracts from it, or at the very least is simply neutral.

Girls who are just mind-numbingly gorgeous like webm related also inspire me to look better

>>3354
Both to give my future SO something nice to look at and just to look more aesthetic in and out of clothes.

Here's some advice if you're trying to find your reason: self hate is a shit motivator.find something else, like looking hot in a cosplay or being healthier or getting dick/pussy. It can be stupid, but relying on pure, unfounded self hate will just make you rebound hard when your priorities shift.

>>3354
Exercise is a good outlet when I'm frustrated or sad. I used to have bouts of depression, but since I've started working out daily, I've felt so much happier.

Not becoming like this

>>6379
That's actually tragic.

My motivation to get fit is mostly due to how I'll look, but besides that I always feel better after exercising.

>>6450
I just woke up and you kill me with this GIF, goddamn it.

>>6450
gif related is actually the most beautiful creature I have ever seen.
I may prefer the "thicc fit" look for myself, but I will sell my soul and convert to whatever sexuality required to have a reverse trap tomboy gf

>>6450
Thanks I'm gonna go exercise now

>>6451
>>6452
>>6453
I'm glad I finally found a reason to post it and that it was so well received! Slightly toned bellies are the best. Wish I had the source though…

My body is pretty similar, I just need to bulk a bit more to achieve the firm looking squishiness. SoonTM

>>3386
nta, but
>what type of exercises should I do, anon?
Usually running/swimming/skipping rope can help, but it's all gonna be useless if you dont eat less and/or better.

I've been obsessed with this girl I follow on Tumblr. (Pic related) she's my ideal body and aesthetics. Even though this is a older picture and she has way more tattoos now. It's just nice to see someone who is my height and my ugw. It helps to feel more motivated to lose weight.
I just hate myself for ballooning as big as I did.ughhhh….and I'm still overweight. :(
