Who sucks in their belly?

I started at age 14. When my bulimia started. I was so self conscious. It was effort at first but now I don’t realise I’m doing it.

Thing is - apparently it’s bad for you. Like real bad.

Gonna try and stop but I worry about my big belly showing. Like really worry

I’m wondering the same thing!

I don’t know if I suck my stomach in but I know I “engage my core” while standing….

Don’t know if that’s the same thing…

I find myself flexing my core sometimes when in public/walking. Just feels good. Plus a lot of the exercises I do you are supposed squeeze/feel your core when do them sometimes. Feels good idk.

Also, I don’t think sucking in your stomach is bad… that’s called a vacuum to some people, I don’t do it often but sometimes I do vacuums, where you basically suck in your stomach because it’s a sort of exercise for the ab muscles lol

i dont. i read it was really unhealthy for breathing. you can teach urself to stop doing it by putting a hand on ur stomach and a hand on ur chest and breathing. ur stomach should move. also ur shoulders shouldnt lift when u breathe. if u practice it enoigh u can make it a new habit.

I’m more apt to say that my belly sucks, but less than it did six months ago.
