    Cure for Muffin Top

    10 Second Cure for Muffin Top from My Life and Kids

    Want to get rid of your muffin top?

    If you're anything like me, childbirth has done a number on your body.

    Or - you haven't given birth yet - but you like to eat Crisco straight out of the can.

    Either way - I have a cure for you!

    Getting rid of your muffin top is actually quite simple.

    You don't need to diet.

    And don't even think about exercising!

    Just do this little trick, and your muffin top will be cured!

    Grab your skinny jeans that have been taunting you from the back of the closet.

    Now grab a pair of scissors and make vertical slits around the waistband of your jeans until they fit.

    Fit Into Your Skinny Jeans

    Pull your shirt down, and you're ready to go!

    Skinny Jeans After

    Muffin top = CURED!

    Pink leopard print underwear that matches your shirt is optional.

      Hi Anna!
      I love your blog! I read it lots!
      You write very comically and it is really interesting.
      Thanks For Writing!
      I also have a question. You don't a;ways post new posts.
      Like today you posted the cure for muffin top (hilarious BTW 🙂 ) but I read that post ages ago. I also noticed the craigslist post reposted. Is that intentional? Because you act like it's new. Am I gong crazy??
      Weather you repost pr not I LOVE YOUR BLOG! You are a great writer!
      Thanks!!!

      Love it! Since I don't own a pair of skinny jeans, I bet the salespeople won't let me try it out on a pair of skinny jeans before buying them? The muffin top is the reason I haven't bought them though since I can't find jeans that fit my midsection and not sag in the butt.

      Wait, why do I need to use scissors? My pants already split on their own...
      Just kidding;)

      What if I just cut off the legs of the jeans and hang them from my lower thighs with some sort of garters/suspenders, thus avoiding ALL of my fat areas?? I'm sure IF I shopped at Walmart I could get away with it...

      I cannot tell whether you are kidding or not, but it doesn't matter. I'm still thinking, hmm, would that work? But how do the pants stay UP if I do that? I am so sick of the stupid "boyfriend cut" low-rise jeans phenomenon that I am actually nostalgic about those awful maternity jeans that had the high-waist elastic extension at the top, coming all the way up to the underboob area for bulging belly comfort...
