Women's Locker Room

I Or similarly, I go to Victoria's secret and I buy a push up, padded bra - most likely one size too big. Insta-enhancement! I don't usually shop at Victoria Secrets. But I am absolutely amazed at the amount of padding in some of their bras. Huge -- you could easily look 2 sizes bigger. I know this b/c I caught my kid with one and confiscated it. Sheesh! I'm more obsessed with height than boobs, and hence like heels. I guess there's always Spanx for the muffin top issue.

To go fast, I'm willing to shove. To look good, if such a thing is possible, no shoving for me. I'd rather spend money on accentuating what few assets (and believe me, there aren't many) I have. Adding a few pounds always helps in the boob and butt area. More fun and less expensive than buying all the latest and greatest to enhance.

Why do you want to be a muffin top? As I age, I'm noticing my junk that was in my trunk is disappearing.

I'm sure there's a genetic factor, just like some men are prone to beer bellies, but I wonder if part of it is being "skinny fat." You know, they don't weight much, but still have a fair body fat pct. because they aren't fit. I don't see too many elite female runners (or swimmers) with muffin tops, after all! The weird thing is I was one of the XC coaches for years at my high school. Over the years I've had several pin-thin stick leg girls with a muffin. A couple of them were top 5 runner's. It drives them crazy. They do all kinds of AB exercises, cut sugar out of their diets, run extra mileage, but till muffin out over their bun huggers. For some people it is a genetic reality. All they can really do is disguise it with torso-smoothing outfits. (those type clothes are not popular with teens) :(

I like to frighten my children from time to time by flashing my muffin top at them.

I admit, that is exactly what I've done!:badday: I just go one or even two sizes too small on the jeans or pants, and genetics be darned! Environment wins! Or I put on a Jaked half-way. No surgery necessary. Or similarly, I go to Victoria's secret and I buy a push up, padded bra - most likely one size too big. Insta-enhancement! Or I walk into Nordstrom's and buy myself some 3 inch spiked heels for added height and unusually pointy feet! At times, there can be quite a bit of shoving when it comes to my wardrobe whether it be with jeans, pants, shoes, tech suits or underwear! Yes. That dratted genetic factor. It's responsible for a few things. BigNoodler, are you or are you not the One Formerly Known as S(H)heMan and more recently but still Formerly Known as CremePuff? If you are, was your sabbatical followed by secretive return due to something I said? If you aren't, would you like to take her place in my heart?

Okay, but you said you wanted a muffin top. Are you going to attempt to shove it down there? I admit, that is exactly what I've done!:badday: I just go one or even two sizes too small on the jeans or pants, and genetics be darned! Environment wins! Or I put on a Jaked half-way. No surgery necessary. Or similarly, I go to Victoria's secret and I buy a push up, padded bra - most likely one size too big. Insta-enhancement!

At times, there can be quite a bit of shoving when it comes to my wardrobe whether it be with jeans, pants, shoes, tech suits or underwear! Muffin tops at the waistline are pretty much genetically predisposed. Yes. That dratted genetic factor. It's responsible for a few things.

Leslie, at least you did not confiscate the full on plastic boob complete with nipple or the saline filled/ gel bras, correct? They sell those at VS as well. I got a good chuckle out of those options. I am the mother of two daughters, both of whom inherited their small chests from their father's side of the family. I remember watching them both go through high school with much more on top that I know they both possessed, and sure enough, it was the gel bras. They are very convincing. My girls are now 20 and 24, and both of them are talking about getting "boob jobs" to correct their deficiency. I'm not huge, but compared to them, I look like Jayne Mansfield. :afraid: I've told them if they think it will make them feel better about themselves to go for it -- just don't go overboard.

I got a good chuckle out of those options. I mean, imagine going on a date with a guy and he makes a reach for it and gets nothing but a fleshy colored rubber sphere! Talk about an awkward moment! But hey, I'm all for women having options. :D LOL! That would be humiliating for some gal! Can you imagine the talk in the guys' locker room about such a moment?!
