Paula Report post Posted August 24, 2006 Apparently thats what i am according to me daughter. Its a combination of low rise jeans ever so slightly too tight and a top that realy could have done with being a size larger. Oh well. Anyone else in the muffin top club.

Jill Report post Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) This post reminds me of my younger years when I used to wear push up padded bra, belly firming knickers & thigh tightening tights under my "going out" clothes when we went round town. I often thought that if I pulled and got lucky the poor sucker would have such a shock when I disrobed Thing is, I don't know why I put all that stuff on cos I only had about an ounce of fat on me anyway!!!

Sadly, this wrecked all the muscle tissue and simultaneously divided my belly in two vertically... when I was a skinny young thing this could be mistaken (from a distance) for a very low slung 'two pack', but as time and Guinness have taken their toll it's increasingly come to look as there I've got a second bum for a stomach!! While queuing for the Dodgems on holiday i got chatting to the lady beside me.. Ben promptly pulled my TShirt up to show her my scar OK ladies, you can stop shuddering now!! Seriously... You can...
