“How old are you” or “How heavy are you” are probably the two questions most women would want to avoid being asked.

Weight plays a big part in the lives of all women. Especially in a world where we are constantly fed with perfectly airbrushed slim and toned bodies on magazine spreads. Not to mention all the celebrity moms who manage to lose all the weight they have gained during pregnancy within such a short span of time.

Fat Facts To Know

Fat Prone Areas In Your Body

Don’t know what are the fat-prone culprits in our body? Time to get acquainted with them.

Flabby Arms

• Commonly occurs when the a) skin is stretched, b) there is excess overall body fat or  c) if the body mass under the skin is not firm.
• Other causes: Poor skin elasticity due to age, skin thickness or genetics
• Usually occurs to women aged 25 and above
• More obvious in the upper arms as women tend to be less muscular than men and have a higher percentage of fats
• Women who lose weight without toning is more likely to have flabby arms, as the body mass is lost but the skin has been stretched

Belly Fats

• Even women who are slim in all other areas may have belly fats
• Main cause: consumption of more calories than the body is able to burn off
• Other causes include:

Pregnancy – Skin around the belly area is stretched and the muscles that are separated begin to sag. Fat present in the belly area then becomes more prominent.

Menopause – Weight gained from dropping estrogen levels and the excess weight resides at the belly area.

Cellulite and Saggy Skin

• Cellulite are clusters of fat deposits below your skin, pushing against connective tissue between your skin and muscles, resulting in a dimpled appearance.
• A problem that plagues women of all ages, sizes and weight.
• More commonly found in women with excess body fat.
• Saggy skin is a result of the skin being unable to conform to the new shape, which can be due to weight loss and smaller body mass.

Heavy Bottom

• Also known as the pear-shaped figure.
• Formulation of estrogen causes higher levels of fats to be stored in a woman’s body, accumulating around the buttock, hip and thigh areas.
• When level of estrogen declines with menopause, the fat will shift upwards to become belly fats.

Thunder Thighs

• Can be inherited or commonly caused by excess estrogen in the body
• Other causes: Improper food intake
• Too much estrogen results in the body storing more fats around the thighs for both men and women

With all these pressures and information swirling around, it can be hard for women to feel the pressure of maintaining a good body type. Women with post-baby weight loss problems tend to have more difficulties in restoring to their pre-pregnancy weight. Now, a little boost to our self-confidence would not harm us. After all, when we look good, we feel good. This is where help from the experts will come in handy.
