I really want to get this body type im currently a square

I look so fat and unhealthy.

I read that olanzapine messes with your hormones and metabolism. Making it hard to lose weight.

It’s hard to say about achieving an hour glass figure. It’s all about which genes you have, which diet, which meds and your exercise regimen.

It wouldn’t hurt to try though.

Good job with the healthy eating! :clap:

You could add in exercise also to help.

However, having an hourglass body and being healthy are two different things. Ask yourself some questions: why am I seeking an hourglass body? Is this about good health or about thinking I need to look like a model to feel good about myself?

The hour glass body type tends to be something that either naturally develops in people or does not. People who have it do not need to work at it. It persists regardless of weight gain. The hour glass just gets more pronounced.

That’s probably just how your body is shaped, then. You could always try doing exercises to build muscle in the places you want more pronounced, but just dieting won’t really change the overall porportions of your body. The places you tend to carry your weight will stay the same, even if there is less of it to hold.

While you may not have an hourglass figure, you can still get toned and look fabulous. Try doing weight training- light weight, high reps., along with healthy eating

I have an hour glass figure, but it doesn’t look good: it’s telling me time is running out.

Yeah. Same for the more sought after male builds. I ain’t got it and ain’t never gonna have it. Oh well.

I wouldn’t worry too much about body type when it comes to attraction. Every body type attracts someone basically. There is no superior body type. The media may try to make people believe it is, but it isn’t. For example I never found the typical model body attractive.
