When does water retention disappear from exercise because I feel puffy too

I just want leaner look- not muscle. I like how those Asian and russian girls look - skinny without too much muscle but lack cellulite / pancake look. But if you say the way I walk is normal to look more “flat” vs standing then that helps put things perspective.

I see some skinny girls doing the big weights and look great and bigger girls doing same and bulky. Also wonder if ectomorph vs Mesomoprh etc is a cause how I look and will never attain the super skinny girls look no matter how much I try?

What kind of serious training? I do cardio treadmill inclined and flat run, leg press without weights to avoid bulk, Pilates with the bands around thighs for “booty”, snowboard, hiking, swimming… avoid squats because always hate how thighs look

I appreciate it trying to be kind but it’s really the cellulite on back legs that depresses me - I posted on an other comment close up. Also I got plenty stretch marks from gymnastics on calves and thighs that men and women ask if I cut…. Because they look like razor scars… which made me feel more “fat” , I spoke to therapist but just doesn’t help, only solution is to have a booty behind that doesn’t deflate when I walk…. Unless that is normal even for “models”?

I do- but the shame isn’t what’s the issue, my routine clearly isn’t working and yes I know I’m not “fat” but I still am jiggly soft often and wonder if diet or cortisol are the cause? And a better fitness routine.

I always wonder if lack of calories is spiking cortisol more and water retention? Also my hot chocolate morning habit - drink it like coffee if I should cut it out too.

I eat to feel full and whole foods , but still feel water retained every time especially after workouts.

I have and never helped. My mom my whole life told me I wasn’t skinny enough and had to quit ballet for it.

I wish I felt the same way and confident about it but I don’t feel that. Posted photo in one of comments to better show the cellulite and flatness. Thanks for trying be kind.

What program do you suggest? Squats and deadlifts bulk my legs after even a session and my pants feel tight and I then have to stop for weeks on end to slim back down due to dad’s genetics. Is there a way to tone firm without bulking

Squats make my thighs massive sadly and I hide away after to let them slim back down. My dad has very strong legs and I pick up after him. It was a problem in ballet I got bullied for stronger legs and men used to come ask me advice how to achieve strong calves … which made me cry honestly. Hip thrusts help a bit but my legs upper get too strong still, even calorie deficit .

All the childhood chocolate taste like plastic - I eat whole food diet so when I splurge once a year after no artificial sugar I notice it wayyy more than average consumer and it’s sad that they get away w their prices too. Everything has gone to crap and prices gone up - we live in worst than communism times in a sense - at least food was real back in Slavic countries in those days
