So, now I posted about my weight (still trying to figure out what compelled me to do that), that got me to thinking about what I'd name my extra-large appendages. Take for instance, my bottom. It leaves indentations in my chair at work. It jiggles now. It has dimples, dammit. I think I'll name her Shirley Temple.
My arms. They're too large for those cute little women's tees that are fit to flatter. They just make my arms look larger. Retailers suck. I used to have firm muscled up arms that I liked to flex and show off (to myself in the mirror). Now I watch them wiggle in the mornings while I do my hair. They make me hate sleeveless tops (my favorites). I think I'll name them Gigli and Jugli - pronounced Gee-lee and Juu-lee but looks like giggly and juggly - appropriate.
My boobs. No, I'm not going to name them. But the cleavage they create is no longer appealing and has become downright disturbing. It's like a deep crevace that I could loose something in...like a car. That same little tee mentioned above that doesn't help my arms, doesn't exactly grace my bustier either. I saw a photo from Christmas...I cringed. It reminded of me of someone who couldn't afford a bra...but I had one on. An expensive one. Victoria's Secret, my ass. So, I think I'll name my decolletage The Queen because she's right up there in front for everyone to see...and she ain't that pretty to look at.
My legs and thighs. You know I was going here...every woman does. The thighs have dimples, too. I think they're in collaboration with Shirley. They rub together now. When I fit in size zero jeans, I thought my legs were "fat". Stupid stupid stupid. Now I know my legs are fat. And my thighs set above my calves. Those calves that used to be so toned now look...uh...like bread dough hanging off the hook, to be honest. So, playing off the food theme, I will name my legs/thighs, Mrs. Baird and Sara Lee.
And last, but not least, my new chin. Yes, the one beneath the one actually attached to my jaw. My new chin is very pliable and likes to hang around. She really loves to show up in pictures. If I stretch my neck way out, I can make her disappear, but then she comes back with a vengeance. She reminds me of my mother and grandmother. I think it's inherited. I had hoped to keep her at bay until I was at least 89 years old. So, on the family theme, I'll name her after my great grandmother...Maude....the one that I think started this whole chin thing.
There you have it. These ladies are the ones that would like to kick out of my life...Shirley, Gigli, Jugli, The Queen, Mrs. Baird, Sara Lee, and Maude.

wow, you got bored didn't you. And i have to brake it to you... you're not any of the things you said. You're absolutely stunning and the whole crap about your legs is BS! You just had a baby, and your thighs are smaller then mine... AND I'M 21!!!!! Don't be so hard on yourself, you don't deserve it.
I wish I could share the contentment that I have for whatever time has done to my 60 year old body. I don't care, buy baggy clothes and you will look thin. When those get tight, get bigger one's. When you have to go to WalMart or Tractor Supply for the 3XL you will know you have hit the fat plateau. Until then, smile and be happy. MUD
Okay, so your LO is how old? Mine is 2 1/2 and I'm just getting serious about losing the rest of the weight. Pat yourself on the back that you are starting before I did!
Also, I just read about a little trick for that chin. I've got an inherited one too that is even more obvious because of the 20lbs I want to lose. Use the moisturizer with self-tanner on your neck. Because it's lighter than your face it stands out. If it's tanner it will be less noticeable. Haven't put it into practice yet but the photo of Kelly Clarkson with a tan neck looked thinner than the one where it was lighter.
