Time to Make the MT Cool

I'm in that lovely post-pregnancy phrase that I like to refer to "If the Pants Fit, You Still Probably Shouldn't Wear Them".

You know - that time when you can JUST BARELY button or snap your pre-pregnancy pants closed, but when you do it creates an amazingly unattractive silhouette famously known as the....

drum roll please....

The Muffin Top!!!!

Yes, the dreaded post-pregnancy I'm in my old jeans! but they just squish everything up in weird places so I look like Snooki from Jersey Shore if I wear any shirts that touch any of my mid-section so I wear really large flowey shirts to attempt to cover up my body flaws phase.

And as I was getting dressed today, searching for an outfit that

A - fit
B - was comfortable
C - didn't make it look like I purchase all my clothes 3 sizes too small but am in denial so I wear them anyway
D- wasn't screaming "I Give Up - I'm Just Going to Wear Sweats the Rest of my Life"
E - hid the above mentioned Muffin Top

I thought to myself.....

"Wouldn't it be cool if I didn't have to hide this?  What if the post-pregnancy Muffin Top wasn't something to cover in shame, but something to be flaunted as a badge of honor?"

What if it was cool to have a Post-Pregnancy Muffin Top? Sorta like an intriguing tattoo, ripped biceps, a really bad-ass scar that told a story of your survival from some terrible accident, or a extremely cool haircut. One of those things that you wear with honor or pride - and that people comment about with envy.

"Pardon me mam - I don't mean to bother you.......but I noticed your Muffin Top there between your waistband and your form-fitting T-shirt.  I just wanted to tell you - it is AMAZING!  The way it squishes over the top of your pants is exquisite. You must have had a baby recently.  Thank you, thank you for sacrificing your body to bring a life (or two) into this world.  I wish I could have a Muffin Top like that too. You must be so proud."


Will you join me in the movement to make the Muffin Top cool - a hip new accessory that every woman can't live without and that every man desires?  Maybe I'll start a Facebook page or see if I can get some celebrities to twitter about it.  Or a hip public service commercial that goes viral on You Tube where Angelina Jolie talks about her Muffin Top after she had her twins and how sad she was when it went away.....

And then we post-pregnancy women can leave the house in the jeans we can just barely get snapped with our heads held high, Muffin Top hanging in the breeze, and know we are just a little bit cooler than everyone else because we have a bit extra jiggle in the middle.
