    You are not the only one that feels this way. I notice it everyday when I am at the pool with my boys. It makes me wanna scream.

    Everyone has a roll when they sit. It's comforting when I look at my bf and he's skinny and has rolls when he sits. :]

    i hear you i feel the same way but i think it mainly comes from poor self esteem, i always think i kinda look okay in the mirror then i see myself in pictures and i am like wow i really look like a cow, i know i don't but i had an eating disorder in high school i was about 95 pounds and i thought i was fat then. i really wish i could tell you how to make these feelings go away but i cant get mine too i just keep pushing to hopefully reach my goal and i try and work on liking myself better.

    I have a large stomach, I looked 6 months pregnant all the time. When I started losing weight, it went flabby. What was one big belly is now two rolls of flab that shows with my clothes. I know what you're saying.

    Sweetie you are doing great. We all struggle with our image at times, but I want you to keep 3 things in mind:

    1. You are beatiful! I looked at your pics and HUBA HUBA!! WOOHHOOOOOOOOOO! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
    2. This is a journey to good health and you have already kicked some serious bootie in this battle.
    3. Whatever you face, you are strong. Use any set back or temporary image issues as a tool of motiviation.

    I don't really know you, but I have faith in you.

    God bless,
    Ed

    What percentage of the population doesn't have a roll? But it makes me want to scream. It's probably what upsets me most and I really don't know how to dress to stop it. But on the other hand, I was getting ready to go to a BQ for my BF's friend's birthday and I was freaking out about my pants and the rolls. And when I got there I was actually the thinnest one there. They don't seem to care!

    I'm with you there, and giggled at your post. Walk past a mirror in clothes you worked hard to fit into & think "Yeah, baby", then you sit down and thighs go phhhht squish! Argh! LOL

    That phrase is how it should be. Those who love you do not care about your 'rolls'. they care about your health, how you feel, if you're happy, but they do NOT care about how you look as long as you are happy.

    You're SUPPOSED to have stomach rolls when you slouch. Where else is the skin that stretches when you stand and move supposed to go? It would HURT to move if we didn't have rolls.

    Hold in your stomach and sit up straight and they go away.

    P.S.- Almost every model is photoshopped in some way, some are even re-drawn or mixed-and-matched. Don't try to imitate a picture. You're 3 dimensional and much more fun!

    You are most definitely NOT alone with this one. It's the bain of my life - standing up I look semi decent, sitting down is a whole different story!

    Not to worry though, we're working on it lol:glasses:

    not alone! I pull my pants up over the skin when I sit :laugh:....... at the pool well, there's not much to be done. I've had two kids; both c-sections :wink: there is always going to be skin/rolls. It's a part of life. FWIW Jillian has rolls when she sits too! (I noticed in her 30day shred video) :laugh:

    :flowerforyou: Yep we all have them, but when you think of it it causes you to sit up straighter and pull in those stomach muscles:noway: that have been underworked for so long.
