I can't say what that is, except for me. Also important (and often overlooked) is the idea that our body parts are part of a whole; I have a short waist and that's why I've always been sensitive about my belly- but looked at in proportion to everything else, it actually works, as I have long legs. I think we pick ourselves apart too much rather than seeing our bodies wholistically, which is how most people see us. I don't want to promote being overweight here, either, because belly fat has been proved to be the most dangerous kind for women and is connected with higher rates of heart disease. But I think an obsession with a totally flat belly (as opposed to one that's a bit rounded and strong and toned) is problematic too. Ah, balance!

If it isn't flat and toned, it's fat, right? What's really important is for women to keep their waistlines under 35" for their health. The bigger the belly, the greater the health risk. The Belly Project is a great idea! Your right, most people do have a distorted view of what a nice belly looks like. If it isn’t flat and toned, it’s fat, right?
