Bikini body before summertime!

My boyfriend of 2 months always says i have a nice body and this and that. He loves going to the beach and we did not go this summer. I am very self conscious because my body isnt as perfect as it looks in clothes! I want nice chiseled abs! And i want my butt to be tight and no longer have my cellultie lines.

What can i do!? I do have months and months i know that, but i need to start now! I play college basketball and try to eat well, except for my ice cream ugh! What can i do!?


thank you!!

Has he seen you without clothes on?

If so - then he doesn't give a damn and will probably think you look lovely even when you're worrying about your love handles.

If not - if you're that worried, do something about it and make an effort to get a little more trim, go the gym, cut out the ice cream until winter rolls around again.

You can either decide that you're unhappy about it enough to do something about it, or decide to like yourself as you are and try and be confident in your body, even if you're not supermodel-shaped (which hardly any of us real people are, and your boyfriend knows that)

Cellulite is normal. It's cuz of all the airbrushed women in magazines that women think their dimples are ugly. Best way to hide them is to tan though.

fast metabolism doesn't give you a free pass to junk! i understand the temptation though... i used to have a fast one too. =(( junk will def give you cellulite. cutting it out will help.

yeah, that works too. Also, cut down on caffeine, alcohol, salt, sugar, etc. Those things either constrict blood vessels or cause you to retain water, which can make cellulite more noticeable.
