Is it normal to be so insecure about your armpit fat?

61% Normal
12 Comments

I'm in pretty good shape. I work out a good bit. I have no issues with the appearance of my body except for my armpit fat... or what I think is armpit fat. My friends and boyfriend say it is normal and that I am crazy for hating my armpits. It is to the point that I feel very insecure in any tank top, bathing suit, etc when I know I'm hot. I feel like all my fat is in my armpits. I even evaluate other women's armpits. Does anyone else have this problem or am I just being ridiculous?

Is It Normal?

    are you sure its really just your armpits? if so get some lipo. lots of dermatologists can do it and surely it's not that much fat, the procedure would be quick and not expensive. and if you can act like you sweat way too much you may get some of it covered by insurance, if you have any

    Dear, no one is going to bother to look at your armpits. Im sure most people dont look at others and go, "My, what pretty pits!". Well anyways, this isnt something you should feel too insecure about since you're not going to be having your arms up and revealing those armpits all the time.

    It's just skin...you can't tone skin, but with your "armpit fat" your armpits would rip when you stretch up your arms. It's nothin to be embarrassed about; everyone has it :)
    I hate it too, the way it gathers there but it's just life-I do pressups to try and combat it but it doesn't seem to be doing much.
    I hope this helped :(

    Honestly you are being rediculous. Everyone has that and it is not fat it is skin. When your arm is stretched out or up it needs more skin than when is does when it is just relaxing at your sides. We all have insecurities but I feel you kinda need to get over this one because everyone's armpit does that.
