I'm sure all of us can easily say, "I wish I was a ectomorph."
Ectomorphs are basically naturally skinny; the have delicate frames with very little muscle and have an incredible difficulty gaining weight because of their extremely fast metabolism. They can lose fat fairly effortlessly and have to eat waaaayyy past the "recommended" number of calories just to gain.
Now, I'm sure all of us have had that skinny friend...you know, the one that can eat 7 slices of pizza (with the "works"), a whole bottle of soda, and the entire bag of "family sized" chips and still want a hot fudge sundae for dessert. I hate that kind of person because of their set dispossession.
But, you see, our jealously most often gives birth to Ana.
I know that I was born a mesomorph, yet, sometimes, I cannot help but feel like an endomorph.
Now, mesomorphs gain fat more easily than ectpmorphs. Most often, a mesomorph is identified by their "athletic" body structure (i.e. they are naturally strong and gain muscle easily). While I do not care for being born a mesomorph, I do like the fact that they can just as easily lose as they gain--which gives me some glimmer of hope. However, to do this, a mesomorph would need to watch their caloric intake.
I did not want to go here, as this is the horrid nightmare that keeps me up at night.
Endomorphs, need I say more? They are, unfortunately, predisposed at being fat. Generally, they have a round physique, in a short and stocky sense. Endos have thick limbs, have a higher percentage of body fat, and find it easy to gain weight because of their dreadfully slow metabolism.
Now, as I do like to follow the glimmer of hope, anyone can reach the perfection of Ana--no mater what your body type...although endos will need to keep at it for a while.
It really is all about determination and persistence.
Why do I say this? I was once able to touch down to the beautiful number of 100 lbs (which gave me a limboing size between 0 and 00). It is possible.
Do not give up, darlings.
