Making Myself Better
home Ask Archive theme

I'm Nikki. I love God and my Jeremy and my sweet baby Ryland everyone else, too. I'm 5'6". I used to weigh ~170 pounds, then I was 140something for a while. I've also been around 130 and even below that. I'm not really focusing on all that right now. Now I just want to be healthy enough to be the best mom for Ryland. I'll talk about my weight ups and down and running, but that's not what will make me better. I'm working to love myself better, treat myself better, and be a better Christian and wife. Expect to see a lot of posts about my son Ryland. If you want, you can email me at betternikki@gmail.com!

Smile Friday- senior-portrait-style-in-your-TARDIS-shirt edition I’ve been mostly staying away from the scale lately except for tracking water loss. This mostly started with the binging/secret eating I was doing too much of lately because knowing the water weight gain would just make things worse. I’ve been feeling pretty good about how I look from the front. Yesterday I started to think about maybe continuing to stay off the scale and maybe try to go for a legit 6-pack just to have one once and then when I get it, I’ll weigh myself and all that. But then when I was looking at myself in the mirror, I saw the “chest ribs” (as I call them), so now I’m not sure. (Sorry for that crazy sentence.) Is having (slightly) visible chest ribs a sign of being too thin? I really don’t understand how that could be because I have plenty of cushion fat in other places. It’s still something I’m thinking about, though.

  2. backtosize said: Even when I was a bit overweight I still had collarbones and the ribs in the chest kinda show when I breathe. when i was getting in higher numbers is when they began to cover more.
  3. fitnerd said: My ribs have been visible my whole life. I have a very disproportionate rib cage (does this mean I have super size organs? Maybe) so I just try not to worry about it. Also- LOVE your shirt.
  4. mandabears said: Our houses are the same brick color =)
  5. abitofsilliness said: That shirt is just too too neat. :) And you look super slim.
  6. runelrun said: You look fantastic!
  7. chelsearuns said: All bodies are different! I have noticed that my upper body is getting very small, and my ribs are weirdly visible, but my lower body is still quite cushion-y. You are thin, but not too thin! You look great.
  8. snapthistiger said: Looking great with a super smile..
  9. livewhitediepurple said: I think you look great! And your shirt is adorable.
  10. thehealthytexan said: I’ve noticed that weight loss isn’t uniform so my ribs stick out but that doesn’t mean my stomach is flat, so I don’t think it means that you’re too thin but you are definitely thin! It’s a hard line not to cross.
  11. xfitlibrarian said: You’re adorable. :) (and I totally want to steal that shirt)
  12. shortmom said: that shirt is amazing!!
  13. jazzie-onamission said: I have them too, thanks to Livefit. It freaked me out at first but now I’m just OK with it :)
