More like a tray of muffin tops if you ask me! Have I mentioned in a previous post that I am not loving this 'fat' phase of pregnancy? I'm pretty sure I did and if I haven't, I'm telling you now. This week I have had to retire one pair of khaki capris and 3 pairs of long shorts that I like to wear to work. With the weather, and my body temperature, rising I am left with very few options. Last night I jumped online to hopefully find some kind of solution. There is no way that I need maternity clothes since the only thing that I seem to be growing right now is a muffin top, but last time I checked I still have to wear pants to work.
On top of the work clothes tightening, my damn running shorts are doing the same! Argh. I am beginning to hate looking at myself half-clothed in the mirror. It's like my skin/fat is oozing out over my pants/shorts. Dis-gus-ting! Putting a shirt over the hot mess that is my midsection doesn't help much in my eyes.
Solution attempt #1 is the BeBand from Target. I haven't quite figured out how this thing works but that's probably because I haven't taken it out of the bag yet. Apparently you put it over your pants, leave your pants unbuttoned/unzipped, and the band holds everything in place. I'm sketched out by that whole situation but will try pretty much anything to be able to still wear my pants. I read all of the reviews that other women had left and they were all great. I'll give a shot, what the hell.
I also found a cute, brown dress but it was one of those that doesn't give you a waist. I put it back. I think it'll be perfect for when I have something to fill the empty space with. Maybe an August purchase.
**Update**
BeBand is a success!! I tried on all of the above mentioned 'retired' pants and bingo! We are back in business! This thing is soft and does not squeeze like elastic. Hopefully that reigns true for when my belly starts growing for real. I will probably be going back to Target for a white and black BeBand now.
