I have a hard time finding bras with wide enough shoulder straps for good support. It seems like most "sexy" bras have tiny straps that just do not support me!

Which is odd, seeing as the media portrays "sexy" as BIG GOZANGAS. (lol)

You would think they would cater more to the women who are bigger in that area.

^that is very true!

Okay- I'm confused. Is fupa the lower abdomen (above the pubic area) or lower, actually involving the genitals. Sorry - don't mean to offend, but I NEED to know!

A favorite "Friends" reference (edited for relevance):

Joey: Hey Monica what's on this video tape?
Monica: You got me, put it in.
(video plays)
You know what this is? This is us getting ready for the prom.
Joey: Some girl ate Monica!
Monica: Shut up, the camera adds ten pounds!
Chandler: Oh. So how many cameras are actually on you?!

I always like how Friends dealt with Monica's weight. It might sound silly but it always gave me hope that I could be Monica someday. :)

I also have Monica syndrome, lol.

Yes! Monica Syndrome!

I can't believe how many times I've looked in the mirror before going out and thought "ooh, I look slimmer in this shirt!" and then I see a picture later and I'm surprised at just how much fat I missed while checking myself out!

I think the secret is that while I'm out I need to always stand like I'm checking myself out in the mirror - no sitting down and relaxing ;)

I will not miss how I feel when I eat a lot of junk. That bloated, nasty, no energy feeling.

I'm confused too!

I won't miss my bra straps always falling down because my shoulders are fat nd rounded instead of defined...

Aww, man. I didn't know that happened because I'm fat.:o

FUPA is the fat roll above your genetalia, to those who still don't know.:p

If you GIS "FUPA" you will get some interesting pictures of exactly where the FUPA is located. Be careful though, the pics are generally NSFW.

I will NOT miss having to wait for my hips to stop hurting when I climb out of bed before I can walk to the restroom

I will NOT miss my back hurting form sitting to long, or my hips hurting form laying, or my legs hurting from standing to long.

I just recently noticed I have a group of boils where my arms lay against my boobs/side.

I WON'T MISS THAT.

I do not miss going into my expensive hair salon & checking to see if I am indeed the heaviest woman there. (For a long time, I always was.)

I do not miss leaving the smock they give me slightly open because if I tied it with the self-belt, there was only a tiny knot of material left in the front, right on my stomach roll.

I do not miss my breasts jiggling as my hairdresser used the foot pedal to raise the chair into the air.

I do not miss getting butchy "fat women" haircuts that tried to "balance" my face & body proportions.
