I have cellulite on my thighs, and I'm very self concious about it as it makes me feel fat even though I'm quite underweight. Is this normal? And is there anything I can do to get rid of the cellulite?
According to a howstuffworks.com podcast episode on cellulite, 90% of women have it, which has been true in my experience. It's something to do with the structure of connective tissue under the skin, which is different in men and women, and is unlikely to be affected much by diet or exercise (or lotions or whatever). My sister is extremely thin and has done modeling work, and even she has cellulite!
Totally recommend the podcast for more info, it's called 'Stuff Mom Never Told You' :)
I'm slightly underweight as well and have cellulite on my thighs and butt. I read drinking more water will help get rid of some of it because its a buildup of toxins or something and water flushes out toxins. I'm starting to do some exercises as well. I can't stand having cellulite anymore :(
Alot of people have cellulite and are nothing approaching overweight.
Just happens as you age, especially for females. Get ready for other stuff to start drooping and sagging as well.
You could exercise. But yes just because you're underweight doesn't mean you don't have fat. People who have low fat in their bodies are the ones that actually work out.
You probably have a distorted body image, you are nowhere near as skinny as you think you are.
