I was shopping at Target for new underwear today (see my email about THAT) and came across some new panties that actually are styled in a way that's supposed to minimize the dreaded muffin top. Something like this: http://www.jcpenney.com/dotcom/women/clothing/lingerie-pajamas/lingerie-pajamas/panties/3-for-$21/warners-no-pinching-no-problem-lace-trim-hipste/prod.jump?ppId=1d6a796&sisearchengine=182&siproduct=GooglePLA&cm_mmc=ShoppingFeed-_-GooglePLA-_-Women-_-1d6a796&srccode=cii_17588969&cpncode=31-123549763-2.

My muffin top is now growing at an alarming rate, but I blame the terrible British winter and therefore being forced to eat a lot of pies, custard and more pies. With gravy. And roast potatoes. <br />If people question my, ahem, curvier figure, I just blame all the steroids I took for relapses over the last two years. And the baby weight I can't shift (just don't tell anyone the 'baby' is 14 this year).<br />Off to have some custard and apple crumble,<br />XStumbling In Flatshttp://www.stumblinginflats.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976128754487941498.post-40204896337354549042013-04-13T07:34:08.934-04:002013-04-13T07:34:08.934-04:00Well, the good news is we both burned some calorie...Well, the good news is we both burned some calories!

Somehow, I thought being on the Swank Diet would make me lose weight, but I guess all of the nuts and jellybeans have taken their toll. (And, as Karen notes, there's the winter-shrinkage thing.)
