Muffin Top

Saw a program on TV about anorexics and obese people, EVEN the super-skinny gals had muffin tops when they put on too-tight jeans! The anorexics interpreted this to mean they were too fat. The commentator pointed out that they were just wearing the wrong size jeans. (Of course, maybe the girls were "skinny fat" and needed to do some cardio, too!)

Thank you! One of my biggest pet peeves is when people wear the wrong sized clothes and then think that they "look fat." Obviously you're going to look big if you dress in a sausage casing!! All ladies (except for maybe hardcore body builders) have some flesh around the middle, no matter how thin they are. It protects your organs, lol.

My problem was that I had to buy jeans that fit me around my big, fat stomach. If I got them any bigger, they wouldnt stay up and since I looked like a robin with skinny legs, the pant legs were huge and baggy. Even if they fit my stomach, when I'd sit down, the fat would squish over the top. Every person's body is different. I wanted to have them altered but I kept telling myself I'd lose the weight and it never happened. Until now. Thank goodness for MFP and weight loss, mine is going awayyyy! I can now buy smaller jeans that fit me, don't fall down, squish me and make a muffin top if I sit. My legs also look a lot smaller now that the pants aren't super baggy.

I've found that the best cure is buying pants that fit.

Screw cardio and find a Zombie to eat it.

Seriously though...bust *kitten* in the gym.

LOL!

It only goes away as you lose and tighten up. Until then, bigger pants

LOL. I thought this after I had my second kid, but was too cheap to buy new pants.
