Thanks for the input, ladies! It is soooo nice to know I can come here and get the kind, supportive advice I need!
Angie, I never would have guessed I was an hourglass. It's a bit surprising to me, actually, maybe becasue I've always assumed that an hourglass required at least an average bust, whereas I have much less than that (barely an A cup). Reading up about the hourglass on YLF, I see that I was mistaken about the bust thing, but it's still a bit of a shock. And hourglass has always been synonyomous with curvy to me, and I've never seen myself as curvy-except maybe on the bottom. In any case, it's great to have this information. Thank you!!!
I think maybe I used to be a pear when I was heavier and that's why I have such a lower body issue. I stuggled with my weight after both my girls were born; up until two years ago I was 20 lbs heavier than I am now. My hips and thighs are the first place the weight goes on, and the last place it comes off.
