Hello. I'm a 17-year-old female and I'm half Japanese and half Peruvian. I weigh 175 pounds and try my best to lose weight, but I can't target my stomach fat.. or arms. I'd love to have an hourglass figure, like Kim Kardashian or Nicki Minaj. I've been planning to go to England for liposuction after I turn 18.. my parents and boyfriend will help me pay for it.. but I have doubts. I want a flat stomach, and a small waist.. also nice, non-jiggly arms. I can't deal with body negativity anymore.
