Is it normal that i hate my stomach?

I'm not overweight, but my stomach pokes out a little bit. You can't tell very easily when I'm wearing jeans, but when I'm naked or in a bikini, you can tell that my stomach pokes out a half inch or so, just above my crotch. When I look at it, I feel anxious and sick. My hipbones are covered in fat, and sometimes I just can't deal with it. Is it normal to be this freaked out by this?

    Just buy pants that fit you. Avoid the muffin top

    • The muffin top kills me. How do I deal with it with bikinis, though? It seems like any bikini bottom that's secure enough to stay on gives me a little bit of muffin top.

        Well there are two options.
        1. Buy a 1 piece if it really bothers you that much.

        2. Buy a bikini with a higher rise bottom.

        You don't need to shop mod cloth, it's too expensive I just want you to see what it looks like. I had a friend (who also had a bit of a muffintop) with a swimsuit that looks just like this one and she looks fantastic in it. It just looks vintage and cute.

    What's your diet like?
    Do you exercise?

    Making changes can alter your weight.

    • My diet is restrictive. I've lost weight. It seems like I hate it no matter how much I lose.

        • It gets smaller with weight loss, but I'm worried that it won't be flat unless I get way too thin.

        • I can't do yoga very often for medical reasons.
