Q.

Help my hips are so much bigger than my waist!

I came to England 18 months ago, with a size 8 and 53kg of weight. My hips have been always bigger than the rest, but at that time, they looked big but good. After been here those months, I put 10kg weight and a size 12!

I am trying to go back to my old size. The rest of my body is the same than before, excepting my bum and my belly, which also went big and saggy. I started to take the pill when I arrived (Cerazette), and I stopped taking it about 1 month ago. I wonder if taking the pill could help to this weight increase, and if now I have stopped it will be good to lose weight or if this does not affect at all.

There is a difference of 35cm between my waist and my hips at the moment! I am in a size small 6-8 in the tops, and my size 12 in the trousers makes me feel really bad :( I have read that with the pill you retain water easily in the hips. Is that true? Will I lose it then within months? Thank you.

Our expert says...

The pill can sometimes make you put on weight but as you?re off it now, that's at least one factor that ?s back under control! But I think it's just as likely that unfortunately you are just one of those women who puts on weight on the lower portion of her body first. And though your top half now seems pretty much back to how it was before you came here 18 months ago, you are probably still carrying a little more weight overall than you used to, and predictably for you, this is virtually all on the lower half of your body! If it makes you feel any better having a tiny waist and bigger hips is the shape that is both healthiest and deemed most attractive from the results of many scientific studies. And with a few more pounds lost and plenty of toning exercises I would expect you to be back to the shape you prefer soon.
