And here I thought I was the only one. I too come out crying and depressed when out shopping, my problem is the same too but its in the gut and not the rear end. If I buy to fit around my gut the crotch is too big and if I buy to fit the crotch the waist is too small. I tell my husband that I will be saving for a tummy tuck but I never do and besides I am terrified of hospitals and surgery. If you know of any good excerise besides crunches and sit-ups let me know.
