What I Wish More Girls Knew About Losing Belly Fat (And Why I Don’t Obsess Over It)

22 April


hi, friend.

Let’s talk about something we all Google at 2am — how to lose belly fat. 🙈

I used to think doing 100 sit-ups and skipping dinner would give me abs in a week. Now I just laugh and eat my dinner in peace. The truth? Losing belly fat isn’t about one magic workout or starving yourself. It’s about understanding your body — and being kind to it.



I learned this the hard way. I spent months doing ab circuits and HIIT every day, thinking I could out-sweat my stress and snacks. But belly fat is stubborn. And honestly? It responds better to smart choices than punishment workouts.

So here’s what I wish more girls knew:

  • 💧 Drink water like it’s a job.
  • 🥗 Focus on protein, fiber, and real food — not just low-cal stuff.
  • 😴 Sleep matters more than crunches. Seriously.
  • 🧘‍♀️ Stress keeps belly fat around. Chill is a form of fitness too.
  • 🏋️‍♀️ Lifting weights changed my whole vibe and metabolism.



I’m not saying stop working out. I love moving. I love sweating. But I don’t chase a flat stomach anymore. I chase strength, peace, and feeling good in my leggings. And the funny thing? The belly kind of figures itself out when the rest of you feels balanced.

If you’re on that journey — you’re not alone. Just don’t let the mirror be mean to you. You’re a whole vibe, not just your waistline. 💖


with love and abs that show when they feel like it,
