as a professional female dancer I need to lose 10-15 pounds. As an adult woman with bodily autonomy I just want to get jacked and throw my girlfriend around.
This is kind of a rant kind of looking for advice!
Hoping that these pictures show both the good and bad things going on.
(23, 5’2-5’3) I no longer cry over my body type, in fact at this point I just want sexy muscles and to lose the stomach/ thigh fat I gained from a depressive episode where I was drinking everyday over the winter.
But it’s very frustrating that my own personal progress with my self image doesn’t matter to directors. Despite what people claim my most successful career possible requires me to get down to bare minimum 125. Currently about 135, like I said I gained weight this winter, but before that I was 128-130.
I of course still have very poor body image, as you can imagine with my body type and growing up in classical ballet. But I kind of love my body. I can lift adult human beings up onto my shoulders ect. With ease, support and control my own body weight with my arms with ease. I don’t want to lose that.
Any advice to maintain the best of both worlds?
While I am an athlete I don’t have a lot of experience in the “regular” fitness world. I do 25 pushups everyday, try to do abs before class, lift weights occasionally and do a whole lot of contemporary and ballet.
