So out of proportion - Small top, massive legs

Hi everyone

Forgive me if someone has already posted this question but I am in need of help.

I have lost a significant amount of weight simply by moving more and eating less rubbish (no junk food whatsoever). I am very proud of my achievement which has left me with a 27inch waist and wearing a UK size 8 on top.

However, I have lost nothing whatsoever from my thighs or those dreaded saddlebags. I now measure 42 inches across my thighs and wear a size 12-14 on the bottom.

Now I actually feel worse than before I started my weight loss journey because I look so out of proportion. If I sit at a table from the top up I look slim, but from the bottom half down I still look big.

How on earth can I shift the weight from my legs? I don't really want to loose any more weight from my top half because I'll get too skinny.

I know I know that you can't spot reduce but surely there must be something I can do to target my legs.

It's making me really despondent like I want to just find the nearest shop and eat my way through their chocolate and biscuit aisles in order to proportion myself out a bit more.

HELP!!

massive update

Hi!! 

So over the weekend I've been having lots of tests, medical and psychiatric, so that my discharge can be planned! And this morning i had my review :)

so most of you know that i've been in hospital/inpatient for...8 months ish now? when i first started posting here as an ill 13 year old with a bmi around 10, a heart rate of 35bpm, breathing difficulties, serious incontinence, inability to walk properly etc etc people thought i was going to die.

but following my review i can assure you all that i have beaten anorexia nervosa. 

my bmi is up from just over 10, to 17.8. 

my heart rate is at a perfectly healthy 80bpm, over double what my recovery began with!

i am very energetic, i can breathe and walk normally and am almost ready to return to ballet classes. 

my bladder muscle has pretty much fully restrengthened and whilst i SOMETIMES (happened yesterday for the first time in 17 days, and only happened because i am now weaning off my incontinence pills) do still wet myself i'm definitely almost back to normal!

i have A LOT of home leave these days and i've been able to enjoy days out with my mum and with my friends

i am enjoying my food and feeling much better about myself. there's now 'a boy' on the scene hehe, and if i was ill i know that wouldn't happen! i also think i might be starting my period soon...

so, yeah :)

recovery can be done :)

i'm always here for advice x
