I also noticed that when I wear more form-fitting clothes, I might feel more self-conscious, but when I'm out, people ask me if I've lost weight! It's funny how what looks right is so different from what feels right. I was wondering how the Spanx bras are, I guess I’ll try them next time I’m in the US.

I gotta agree on your assessment. After kid 2, my breasts ... ummm... flattened quite a bit, to be even smaller than before kids!! I am smaller (weight) since having a second kid but that middle - yikes. There's a tube. I've never had a waist, and this solidifies it. I just went to Nordstom's to get fitted for the right bra (was 36B before kids, then 36C during nursing, now 34C). It was a splurge, but I recommend for comfort the SPANX line of bras!!! I agree with the book and the reality shows (even though they can be harsh)... if you wear clothes that are to generously cut and not right for your type... you look like a house when you are not THAT large! And it is much more flattering -- I get asked if I've lost weight -- if I wear clothes that actually fit my shape!! Who knew?
