Can I get a smooth body with a short torso or will I need intervention

So I’m on a weight loss journey. I’m short with a short torso and long legs. I tend to look lumpy if I’m not careful. I have to be at a certain weight to look smooth and even then I can look lumpy when I’m bloated. I’m decently slim not but want to lose a stone to look lean and smooth. I’m so jealous of those girls with longer torsos who just look amazing even when they’re bloated. At least I have decent legs so can’t complain too much. I do have bigger boobs which in my opinion are a bit too big but once I get down to ideal weight they should shrink a bit.

does any of you have advice on how to get to my goal a bit sooner e.g. waist training, certain exercises, certain diet changes? I watch my diet. I don’t eat clean but decently healthy. I would love to get liposuction done (yes I would resort to that because I don’t like looking lumpy that much) I’m hoping I’ll get a good job after maternity to start saving for it. I’m terrified of it not getting better then getting worse when menopause hits which is probably 20 years give or take for me.

I know this is vain and first world problems and people will say love yourself but I need to be a certain way to feel like myself and to feel comfortable and right now while I’m glad I’ve bounced back after pregnancy and lost weight I’m not 100% happy as I want to look long and lean so bad. A friend of mine recently had a baby a couple of months after me she’s got a long torso and she looks so much better than me. It’s not fair lol

There is now a huge huge swath of HRT and alternative therapies to support menopause. You sound like you hate you’re self and all women!!!

Is this the poster who kept going on that it takes a village to take care of a baby and was annoyed her friend didn't help her enough? And was planning to sleep with her dogs in bed once the baby arrived and she was going to sleep train the newborn? And had some major concerns about not being able to go to the hairdressers once she gave birth?

.......... and thought that she'd put her son into temporary foster care if he was born with a disability, and have him back every so often when she felt like it.

.............. and has a lesbian crush on a woman she hasn't actually met, and is sad that the woman can't come to her party; despite being currently married to her baby's father.

.............. not to mention being jealous of her friend who carried on vaping while she was pregnant, which would stop her putting on weight (!)

........... and whose main worry while pregnant was finding time afterwards to get her hair done.

Is it also the poster who was raging about another YouTuber who got a product deal and slagged off her looks and then offended when her FIL slagged her off? Or was that completely separate?

Yep, that's the one.

I can't confirm that one, but maybe it was yet another user name?

Honestly menopause scares me and what it will leave me. A lot of women kill themselves over it including celebrities who have the means for better treatment

A "lot" of women certainly don't kill themselves because of menopause. And for those that do experience mental health issues, it's because the hormonal changes have real, profound effects on mood and cognition. No-one is offing themselves because they're a bit bigger and lumpier than ten years before. What a fucking offensive suggestion.

Also, WRT menopause treatment, all women can access HRT via their GPs.
