SPT

This month's challenge provides us the opportunity to spend some time with ourselves. Lelly says, "This month we will consult our 100 lists. It's quite simple, really. On the 7th of the month post an SPT about item #7 on your list. On the 14th of the month, post an SPT about #14. And so on and so on.

On my birthday 100 list, #21 reads:

I gain all of my weight in my stomach.

Oh my! If anyone thinks I would actually post a picture of my stomach, they are crazy. So instead I will post a picture (with a little help from a male model) of how I attempt to hide it.

First, I never buy tight shirts. Shirts that skim my stomach area are much more flattering. I know my limitations. Second, I am also careful of the pants I buy. The correct rise is very important. Most of you will agree that there are not many things (clothing wise) that are worse than muffin top. And lastly, and most importantly, I don't often leave home without my tummy sucking in fake Spanx from Kohl's (much cheaper and they do the job).
By the way, even when I lose weight my stomach stays the same size. This is so unfair. Without my tricks I could pass for pregnant, and believe me I have been asked more than once. One day, I may get a tummy tuck, but until then I will continue to attempt to hide it. However, I have found one benefit to gaining weight in my stomach: I don't have stretch marks. My stomach was already a bit stretched out. Look at me looking at the brighter side of things!
