Oh dear, ...Good Morning Poppy, This was a fun post. Oh dear, the dreaded muffin top.... I really dislike those words. I suppose it is because I am of an age where it is easy to "make" a muffin top, as I have been through the menopause and I have come out the other end not too badly. I understand what you mean about the increased waistline.... it just creeps up on you, until one day you realise your waist has disappeared..... but fear not, I find with increased walking and cutting out bread the waisteline will reappear.... not in quite the same way, but I can look in the mirror and see a slight curve in my waist.<br />It is so hard to resist sweet things and I know as I have a very sweet tooth, and to top it all, I bake a lot on my blog, but my solution is, George has his share of the cake, I taste a much smaller amount and the rest I give to George's mum and his uncle. This makes me happy as the cake is out of the house and it also makes George's mum and George's uncle happy aswell.<br />Before I go, just a thought, why is it men don't worry about their weight as much as woman do!<br />Have a lovely day.<br />Best Wishes<br />DaphneIvy, Phyllis and Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09988502694544216304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397842596692895726.post-29315223973352635252013-07-29T06:24:06.255+03:002013-07-29T06:24:06.255+03:00What a fun post--gave me a good chuckle!

The renaissance woman was the normal size for women. Michael Angelo didn't paint stick thin waifs. He painted women with curves and I am glad to say I have those curves. I know obese is bad, but size 14 is the average size and as long as we are active and not starving ourselves I say so be it.Kim @ Savvy Southern Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493624262438266840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397842596692895726.post-78315793784655529932013-07-29T03:38:09.918+03:002013-07-29T03:38:09.918+03:00I love muffins, but I try to avoid them.
