weird body shape

i have a huge tummy. it sticks out further than my breasts do. finding clothes to fit is a nightmare. i got this coat from boden which i was really pleased with, but it was a tiny bit tight accross tummy. ds says it is too big on me. shoulders and bust. she thinks i should have bought a 14. but the sixteen barely covers my lump of fat......
i have this problem with most clothes. what do you think about looking int he maternity section? or is that just too sad?

you don't need a class - I've never been back since I had an embarrassing moment but let's not go into that

have you got a video or dvd? start with 10 minutes - you could even make it up - it's basically stretching everything everyway - slowly without strain - simps!

i could get one from the library.

This thread is hilarious! What a brilliant mix of cajoling and bullying, cods. Good luck stitch.

stitch if you are sick of diets good posture can make your tummy smaller - is there any room to improve on this or are you already as well aligned as a masai warrior?

codface · 11/10/2005 19:46

Enid · 11/10/2005 19:47

its bread

I bet if you gave up bread and did nothing else your tummy would get flatter

I gave up bread for 5 days only before my wedding and my stomach was practically concave

ditch the bread

codface · 11/10/2005 19:47

concave?
hwat it stuck out of your back?
errgh

twirlaround · 11/10/2005 19:47
