Arrow Problems w/ waist/stomach exercise... pls help

I am 22, F, 5'5'' and 120-125 lbs (all scales are different!)

Well, I have been running everyday, eating healthy (i have eliminated starch, junk foods, and sodas from my diet).

I was told by a doctor that I have 14% body fat, but its probably less now. My only problem is my waist is wider than my hip, and my stomach is bulgy. If i touch my stomach, it is firm and I can feel the muscle, NOT fat (i got rid of them! bwahaha). Why cant I get a flab ab like I used to or trim my waistline? I do up to 300 sit ups a day!

Am i doing something wrong? Or is it an organ inside me thats enlarged???

My doctors hasnt been of any help.

DOes anyone know why or have any ideas on what I can do?

Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps your stomach isn't as bad as you think. The fact that you are already thin and have a very low body fat percentage makes me think that it's all in your mind. Don't worry too much about it as I'm sure when people look at you they aren't saying, "look at her stomach".

On the other hand though, are you retaining water? Are you on your period, or close to it? If you think it may be something more serious, like a distended stomach, a tumour, etc, then I suggest you visit with another doctor if your current gp will not listen to you.

Remember, it's not about how many sit ups/crunches you do, it's about the quality of them. If you do not keep your pelvis to the ground when doing crunches, you are more likely to develop a bulge (pushing your abs out).

Wipe those tears away, put on that fancy dress and your dancing shoes, and have fun at your party!!
