It is a well known fact that we all look in the mirror and see an unrealistic version of what other people see, partly because we never see what others do but instead a mirror image. But when we don't actually fit into our clothes surely we should notice.
Introducing muffin top. The lovely state of being, usually inhabited by girls in their teens, where they have squeezed themselves in to a pair of jeans one (or more) size too small and a flap of fat rolls over the top of the jeans creating the same shape as the top of a muffin. The scary thing is at some point they have looked in a mirror and come to the conclusion they look amazing.. Fail.
I am not the skinniest woman on the planet, nor am I the fattest, but I've come up with a simple system to combat the danger of muffin top! It's revolutionary, it's astounding, it's called buying clothes that fit..!!!!
Another danger of the "of course this fits me" mentality is the dreaded camel toe. Dum dum duuuuum!!! This is where the trousers or shorts being worn are really a size too small but instead of affecting the top of the waistline the pull on the bottom is so much so that everything is pulled up until you have internal clothing and the shape of a camel's toe firmly wedged to the front of your fanny. Real pretty hey? Especially when you're confronted by a large woman on the underground stood about a foot and a half from your face exhibiting an "impressive" display of 'toe!! Oh wait, that was yesterday... Rabbits in headlights have looked more relaxed than me apparently.
So, what have we learnt today? All shapes and sizes are just great, if you're happy then who cares what clothing size you are? But dear readers, please dress accordingly. You might think you look like "the bomb" but you're really just causing explosions in my brain.
