Hi all, I've been really excited about my progress lately, I've had another growth spurt and have increased from a 36B to a small 36C, but now I have a problem that is threatening my results. As I've posted before I had tried a fast fat loss diet a few months ago but stopped because the low carb intake was making me sick because I need a high carb intake to help control and prevent attacks from my porphyria. That and within the first 2 weeks I started loosing breast size, which I have recovered from, and then some now. But now I desperately need to loose my stubborn belly fat and drop some weight and fast. It's not that hard, under muscle fat that some get that I know of, it's more of a jelly belly fat. The problem is as my weight has increases 15 pounds in the last year I've been having strange pains around my belly button, and am starting to experience signs of a possible umbilical hernia trying to form. I've been ordered by my gynecologist who I saw yesterday for other reasons who examined me yesterday because I mentioned it and found a pulled muscle just below my belly button to take it easy and allow it to heal for the next two weeks. She said if it doesn't get better, or gets any worse in that time to see my primary care doctor (which I don't have) for further testing and treatment. She said in two weeks if it's feeling better to start to light abdominal exercises to try and strengthen my abdominal muscle and try to prevent a hernia from forming. This morning I was searching on line for ways to prevent it and they say there is no way to prevent it, other than weight loss if overweight.
Anyone have any ideas how I can gently work on losing belly fat, strengthening the muscle, or possible diet that won't heavily restrict carbs, that hopefully won't make me lose what breast size I've gained.
I'm really scared, I don't want to deal with getting a hernia and am in a lot of pain right now from the pulled muscle. Any thoughts or ideas would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any replies I get! :'(
