chunky from behind thin from the front..
Chunky from behind thin from the front..I don’t have a complex issue its just that i don’t want to have the junk in the trunk all my life.. I want to eat better and feed my body the right way..I guess i am the typical woman never satisfied always wanting to look prettier and better than everyone else. It doens’t help that i have been thin and very active all my life. I never had a need to eat healthy,that is until now that im in my mid 20’s.. I don’t know how it happened i guess it just crept up on me.. the cellulite, its embarrasing i can’t even wear a bathing suit, let alone short shorts 
The only way to get rid of it is to do alot of cardio and eat healthy..I do cardio just not the other. I have been reading on nutrition, since i don’t know much about it and i feel i should know more about the subject. The last few weeks i have been eating less of the bad carbs and eating more low glycemic foods. I’m not sure how that will go I only know how to cook mexican food.

For those who understand the nutrition, I want to think they have a masters degree in some sort ofscientology or something. I haven’t been able to figure much out myself. I just keep asking, trying, reading, ect. You will find what works for you. It takes time. But I do think you may want to start with some weight training as well. That too will help burn some fat and give you good weight and help get rid of the "jiggle" (although I am still having trouble with mine) Don’t give up. It is a work in progress and not an overnight thing. Good luck!

Seriously, stay away from grease (Mexican rice), white flour (tortillas de harina), and lard (tamales). Look into brown rice, Sister. Great source of low glycemic energy! Also, if you are not already doing so, embrace the black bean. Beans and rice = complete protein. (I purposely went after stereotypical "Mexican" food as opposed to all the refined sugar and carbonation and salt I’ve been avoiding.)
As far as training/cardio, do not overlook the benefits of lifting heavy: more muscle = more calories burned while sedentary (cardio only burns during and shortly after the workout); more muscle = less sag. I’ve still got quite a layer of fat over my abs, but I am looking lots better and it’s because of cleaner eating as well as harder (not just more) reps on the old abdominals.
I understand your elbow doesn’t allow you to lift as you’d like (and I hope you heal 100% by summer’s end), but get after your thighs/chubby cheeks with squats, stiff legged dead lifts, and lunges. Again, I have inches of padding, but the solidity underneath this has greatly increased with my dedication to completing exercises that build the underlying muscle. (I’d be much better off if my herniated spine didn’t keep me from going heavy.Squatting 95# hurts, but not as bad as 115!)
My Friend, I am glad to hear you are fighting the good fight! As long as you don’t just quit, you are a winner in my book!
