what are your choices? Staying at your current weight and level of fitness? Most of us have made a decision to change our current situation. In all change, there are simply some variables that are not under full control.
As noted, it is VERY hard for women to get BIG muscles. The semi-pro lady weightlifters / competitive body builders with the ripped muscles you may have seen in magazines or on TV spend HOURS in the gym (and a very few, but certainly not even "many" or "all") may use additional pharmaceutical support to get those bodies.
I come from a family of "easy gainers"--that is, working out with any degree of regularity can develop pretty respectable muscles in this gene pool. However, I'm in no danger of catching up with my brother's build.
So sometimes I sit here and say, "Gee, if I lose weight and work out I may wind up looking like THAT (insert your own version of whatever "THAT" is) and if I do, no-one will want to date me. Hmm... look at my dance card--I'm doing so great right now? (actually, I'm doing fine enough, thank you, but the point can still be made.) I made a decision that the way I was living was not the way I wanted to live for the rest of my life. In making that decision, I also decided to accept the challenges that may arise along the new path. To date, nothing has come up in my new way of eating and appearance that I couldn't find a way to handle.
I hope you can find your own way into this WOL. It is surely not boring.
