Why am I getting fatter but not heavier?
When you are fit, your muscles are lean and toned, so you are slimmer, and you also have less fat. As you gain fat and don't exercise enough, your muscles both loosen up and you start to pack on fat. You may not notice the fat at first, as it generally will marbelize in your muscles first. But when it starts to paste itself subcutaneously, you get the rolls and jiggly stuff. Muscle weighs more than the fat, so you must have been shifting proportions of muscle and fat in a manner that hasn't caused a weight change...yet. You are now at the point where if you don't exercise and diet, you will start to gain.
Is it possible to get "fatter" without gaining weight?
Yes. You definitely can become fatter without actually gaining weight (you could loose weight and still become fatter.) How that can happen is because you're body can increase its body fat percentage, but loose some other form of weight (water weight, muscle mass.) If this happens you might not notice any change in your weight. Also, muscle is much more dense than fat, meaning that, if you loose muscle and are gaining fat, you could actually loose weight just because muscle is so much heavier. To sum things up, yes, it is possible to get fatter without gaining any weight. So, if you're concern with this happening (and even if you're not; its just a good habit,) just make sure you eat a balanced diet and get enough exercise - eating healthily and exercising reduces stress, so you may be happier too :) I hope this helped!
Why does my face sometimes look and feel fatter than normal? Is the fat in my cheeks retaining water?
Yes, when you eat a lot of carbs or salty food, you retain fluid. Your face retains fluid just like the rest of your body. If I have something special that I want to look good for, I generally go on a three-day protein diet to eliminate the fluid in my face. It really opens up the eyes and makes your face look better. Drinking a lot of water helps too--the more you drink, the more it flushes the water out of your system. The one I use can be found on this page: http://www.easy-weightloss-tips.com/morediets-2.html Good luck!
Am i getting fat ): girls help!?
Nah you're pretty skinny. Btw, the sizes at H&M are extremely small. I work with skinny girls who fit into a size 6 so a 4 at H&M is still on the small/extra small side. But like the other lad said, you might have other issues involving self-conciousness and being brainwashed.
Can You Feel Fat Growing on You?
Sometimes I think I can actually feel fat growing on me, litterally. I feel like... a bubbly/rippling sensation on my hips and thighs. Am I imagining this? Everyone says its all in my head but can this really be possible? Has anyone else ever expirienced this?
Im 5'7 and 130 pounds. I feel like im fat. How and is it safe for me to lose 10-20 pounds?
Why can't women just be like....im 5'7 130 pounds will you date me ? And I would be like why sure and then we would go from some weird conversation about physical anatomy and body weight to wedding chappels and babies being born like water fountains, beautiful breezes, sunshines and ravishing fruitful desires on a hillside and ahhhh all the difference....
