Losing weight from where

[Outlier]

I am writing this in case it helps others. There is a lot of significance given to losing weight from waist and belly. But none of us can control from where we lose weight, and it is possible to lose a lot of weight via diet and exercise- though exercise as such is not as helpful as diet for losing weight - but still carry fat aroung waist and belly. Losing weight when we need to is always beneficial, but those of us who cannot remove it from these critical areas should not feel discouraged or that their results are unimportant. I think when we give advice that tells people from where they should be losing weight needs to take into account that the "where" is totally out of our control, that losing any weight as a result of our efforts is not to be criticised, but complimented, and that all loss will help our diabetes.

But visceral fat (the more dangerous type) tends to be lost first. Which is good news for our health overall. Getting (or showing) that six pack may take a bit longer.
