Just a reminder: fat stores where there is muscle
As I remind myself often when I read the day 1 post, "Our bodies are amazing!" We're able to store fat in such a way that it's basically like putting money in a bank, but it doesn't just put it all in one spot, it puts it where it will be needed. Think about the shapes of our bodies and where the fat gets stored. You will hardly ever see someone with a fatty forehead but nearly everyone stores fat in their midsection. Why is this? Because the muscles in your forehead are much smaller and less mobile than those in your midsection. We have SO much muscle in our bellies it's easy to see why our bodies want to store so much fat there. It's not just those sweet abs you've got hidden under the fat though, there's so much VISCERAL muscle. A refresher to anatomy and physiology, visceral muscle is used in organs. Your entire digestive track and most of your organs are muscle. They also store fat that we can't see visibly without some fancy scans (https://imgur.com/gallery/yKtuqMX).
Know that every pound you take off of your body, even if it's not visible, is contributing to you being a healthier person. There's a lot more going on than what you can see! I'm sorry, I have no clue where I was going with this, but I needed this reminder for me.
Edit: I DON'T want to be misleading, I'm sorry if I was. Know that there's limited science to what I'm saying, and it's more of a correlation I've noticed than anything you should actually base your life on. Its really just food for thought. I didn't mean to mislead anyone. I didn't mean to get more than two likes, I just wanted to remind everyone there's progress being made even if you can't see it. Your liver is happier. Your heart is happier. Every muscle in your body benefits from every pound you lose. Thank you for being supportive and kind.
