Before waist training: 26.5" waist After waist training: 24" waist
Hello everyone!
The first picture was taken last summer, a few months before I began waist training.
I did not consider myself fat back then, but I knew my waist to hip ratio was not as notorious as I'd like, I felt I was lacking curve on the hips and that there was no way to change that.I know most girls just want to be slimmer, but that is not exactly what I wanted. I always wanted to be curvier, I had good proportions before and had no problems with my top or bottom, it was the middle section that I did not like so much.
Dieting or going to the gym were not going to make a big difference, because when I lose weight I tend to get even less curvy on the hips and my waist would look the same since I do not carrying much fat there anyway.
When I started reading about waist training I knew this was what I was looking for, I saw all of Lucy's videos, I read all I could on the internet (the Lingery addict, OCC blog ,Romantacy web page, Stay lace, etc) I saw all of the youtube videos I could find about corsets, and I followed another girl that started her journey almost at the same time as me (
).
I got addicted to the information and spent hours reading about corsets, then I joined Facebook pages like the tightlacing society and corsets on sale.
I believe doing research keeps you motivated, so I hope my results will give some inspiration to those who are starting this journey
feel free to share this post.
Good luck!
