I have some chub, sure, but I think I look disproportionate when I randomly tamp down on some of that. For chub-rub I have some cut-up yoga pants and cut-off knit gauchos that flow pretty nicely under any ol' skirt, without any weird rolls or lines, and they BREATHE.

I wish I could get back every dime I ever spent on anything else.

And while that point could be argued, I love Spanx for the fact that they make the clothes I already have fit better. Everything is even and non-bulgy, and I have a place to wedge my insulin pump. Also, as I mentioned above, they have a built-in pee hole, so you get to urinate like a dude all night.

But hey, I'm a stick insect. Everyone I know who wears them loves them, though. (And looks hot!)

I love Spanx and Flexees (cheaper and at Kohls).
I just got tired of looking 5 months pregnant when my kid is in school. No matter how much I crunch or run that pooch is here to stay.

There's another company called "Yummie Tummie" (just google it and you'll find it). And they make AMAZING tops that you slim you, and just look like a regular t-shirt or tank top.
I have one of the tank tops and it makes my stomach look so much smoother!

Sorry, is it me or does this post sound a bit too much like advertising?

And after that, Spanx jeans. If you thought you couldn't move in cotton, just wait until you are encased in denim Spanx!

Also, it's kind of hard to explain. It's sort of like a coin purse or a fly on men's briefs. It opens when you need it to.

Now that I've learned something, I'll go open up the chardonnay

And there's me jumping in the background, hand raised, shouting, "I do! Ooh, ooh, I do!"
Comfort over conformity any day of the week.

I sold lingerie for a summer and had to battle for customers with a 70-plus year old sales woman, who always had a tape-measure around her neck and would burst into dressing rooms unannounced to make sure the customers had the right size. All day long, you could hear these muffled shrieks of surprise as their privacy was invaded.
