The Truth About Getting Flat Abs

Thursday January 20, 2005
Nothing says January like the sweet chime of email. Most of these emails have to do with one thing: flat abs. I've written plenty of articles about the difficulty of getting flat abs...is anyone reading this stuff? Anyway, because of the emails, I was inspired to cover this topic yet again, but with a different idea in mind--namely, to convince you to forget six-pack abs forever. Shocking, isn't it? Check out what I think about getting flat abs and decide for yourself if it's time to move on.

I am 14 and really skinny.No matter what i do i cant gain weight and if i do its in the stomach area and the fat never spreads.How do lose weight on my stomach without losing it anywhere else or how do i make it spread to my but.Heres and idea of how skinny i am i wear a 0-3 in jeans and have no but,i wear a medium in juniors shirts but only because of my breasts which i wear a 36b.So i really dont think i need to lose any weight also i have low blood sugar.I eat alot people tell me too much but i cant gain.If im gonna be skinny i want a stomach like beyonces hips like shakiras and legs like mariah careys.By the way my hip is like one inch wide on one side and i have really big feet im 5ft 6/8 inches tall help me get the body of a supermodel and when i say big feet i mean i wear an 11 in womens and mens shoes.So i dont think the whole loose weight thing would work for me.
