People have different ideas of what the ideal body should look like. I think a woman's ideal proportions should be based on her own measurements. I'll explain my guidelines for my goals below:
Measure your Wrist. Wrist x 2= Neck. Neck x 2 = Waist.
Measure you Ankle. Ankle x 2 =Thigh. Thigh x 2 = Hips and Bust (Chest)
So here's my ideal:............ Here's my reality:
Wrist = 6 1/2 " ..................Wrist = 6 1/2"
Neck = 13 1/2 " .................Neck = 13 1/2"
Waist = 27 ".......................Waist = 30 1/2"
Ankle = 9 1/2 ".................Ankle = 9 1/2"
Thigh = 19 ".....................Thighs = 21 1/2 "
Hips = 38 ".......................Hips = 38 "
Bust = 38 ".......................Bust = 42 "
So, to reach my ideal I need to:
-lose 3 1/2 inches off waist
-lose 2 1/2 inches off each thigh
-lose 4 inches off my bust, although my husband may say otherwise...lol. :)
To go along with this idea I'm updating my goals box on the side bar. We'll see what happens.
do you mean the bony part of the ankle or the skinny part above that? with this idea I would have to lose a TON of inches... like 5 off my waist for starters! not that I wouldn't like to be that skinny again, but now I think I would have to be anorexic to acheive those goals! you are doing great, I am so impressed!

ReplyDeleteI know it doesn't work for everyone but it works for some. :) You measure the biggest parts of your ankle and wrist. Thanks for the compliment Robin! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, at least my neck's at the correct proportion! ... Everything else?
ReplyDeleteWell, I have let myself go to seed quite a bit. At least this gives me an idea of what I should work towards (but, really, with the ideal vs. reality? ANYTHING would be an improvement). ^_^
Unless the bust measurement is the around-the-ribs-only bit instead of the whole caboodle ... if that's the case, I'm a half-inch away from the ideal on that one!
