I just got back from shopping for some new workout clothes and I am frustrated! I have a long torso, and it seems like most of the long w/o tops stop at about my belly button, and the bottoms are all low-rise. So, my 'muffin top' (which isn't huge, but it bothers me) hangs out in-between the top and bottom. I also have lots of stretch marks from pregnancy. I am so self-concious about my tummy - always have been! I workout at home, so having a bit of tummy showing shouldn't matter, but it bugs me, especially because that's the part of my body that I want GONE!
Anyone else feel this way, or am I just too hung-up? I just needed to vent.
On the plus side, I caught a glimpse of my arms in a mirror today, and actually saw a bit of curve in the triceps and shoulder!

In my last job, one of my markets was the UK so I spent a lot of time there. I have a friend there who has these two adorable kids. She's a bit posh, if you know what I mean. I was in the car with the kids while my friend ran into a store and I was talking with them about their "belly" buttons. They thought that was hilarious and were laughing their little heads off (3 yrs. old and 6 yrs. old) - and repeating it, of course. Well, my friend came back and was absolutely mortified that her children were using the word belly. She said it is a tummy, not a belly and that word was not to be used. She was quite cross with them about using that word. Wow - I felt terrible!
