I am done with the muffin top. It has got to go!
What the heck am I talking about you ask? Muffin top is the roll of fat that oozes over the top of your jeans (or pants) because your jeans waistband is smaller than your waist, thus the spillage. Typically, muffin top is more of a problem for Apples than Pear shapes. Now the obvious solution would be to get bigger jeans. Hell no! I've gone up one size already, and I refuse to go up a second size. I JUST don't want to do it.
If you keep buying bigger sizes than you just keeping growing into them. The last straw was this weekend when I tried on 5 pairs of jeans that ended up being snug on me. The last pair gave me serious muffin top, and I cried. I think the jeans were mislabeled because it really was much smaller than it should have been. But nonetheless, the damage was done. The image of my gut hanging all over the place just did me in. I DON'T want to live like this anymore.
So, I've embarked on a muffin top demolition journey. I started this Monday (big surprise. every "program" starts on Monday), and to help me along, I created another blog called, "Be Gone Muffin Top: *love handles and i are breaking up." Everyday, I'm just going to gab about what I'm doing (or not doing) to be gone with the muffin top. The title I came up with was also a reflection of adding humor to an otherwise challenging, and un-fun process. No one, and I mean no one, likes to be on a "weight loss" plan.
Although related topics, I separated the blogs out because I wanted to keep Back in Skinny jeans about general issues with some of my private life in it. Be Gone with muffin top is all about me and my personal journey. In this blog, I sware, cuss, and plunk down the 411 of my exercise, eating, and body measurements. Some stuff is somewhat embarrassing but, it will help keep me real, if others are watching. So, come join the fun if you are on a similar journey.
