Midsummer in June arrives, the best time of year to show off your figure. This season, three-dimensional flowers, geometric patterns, and artistic graffiti—all the fashion elements you can name—have appeared in swimwear looks. Tempted? But looking back at your own figure, you can't help but sigh: why is it so hard to achieve a beautiful figure?
Do you really need to lose weight?
In the sweltering summer, beneath those cool and breathable clothes, the most obvious thing to hide is those little bits of extra fat. Many women, in their efforts to lose weight, often choose to skip dinner and eat fruit instead. "King Chu loved slender waists, and many starved to death in the palace." Many went three months without tasting meat, even wrapping themselves in plastic wrap despite the heat. The hardships they endured are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.
Women's desire to be slim seems endless. You'll never see a woman around you satisfied with her figure; our demands are always for slimness, slimness, and even slimmer. But whether or not you need to lose weight, it's best to first check your BMI.
According to the World Health Organization's standards, a BMI between 18.5 and 22.9 is considered normal weight, while a BMI over 23 is defined as overweight. Therefore, if your BMI is over 23, you definitely need to start working on losing weight.
Regularly measure your weight
[ Editor's Pick: Summer Weight Loss Methods]
1. Weigh yourself regularly.
Buy a scale and weigh yourself at the same time every day to monitor your weight loss progress. Then, install Excel or other charting software on your computer, record your weight accurately, and create a chart. Seeing the numbers steadily decreasing will greatly motivate you to lose weight.
