Bingo Wings and Mommy Muffins as Slang for Lost Weight"},"content":{"rendered":"

According to Shakespeare, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. However true that may be, we think that extra weight being called muffin tops<\/em> or saddlebags<\/em> is a lot funnier than just calling it extra weight. We bring you this tale from the Fit Crypt<\/a><\/strong> with hilarious nicknames people have attached to their excess poundage. Maybe they’ve gotten rid of it, maybe they haven’t, but either way we are glad they can laugh about it.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One mom knew that baby belly <\/em>wasn’t enough for the swell of skin that was left after the arrival of her two darling children. In her book A Laugh Out Loud, Pee In Your Granny Panties, Guide to New Mommyhood<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, Katie Vale Kinder apologizes to the women who became moms before her for judging their postpartum bodies. She came in to the fold of moms with a little extra padding as well, and came up with name FUPA<\/em> for her extra weight. “It is totally dirty and stands for fat upper pubic area<\/em>,” she told us. “It isn’t your vagina and it isn’t your stomach, but your FUPA! It’s the extra body part developed after you have a baby!”<\/p>\n

We knew Katie wasn’t the only one poking a little fun at the new look of her body, so we set out to find a few other people willing to reveal their weighty nicknames.<\/p>\n

“Bingo Wings<\/a><\/strong> – the flabby skin on the upper arms.” – Jason Maxwell, fitness expert, jmaxfitness.com<\/p>\n

“Dunlop Disease\u2026When your belly done lop over your belt!” – Mike Pascale<\/p>\n

“Droopy man boobs<\/a><\/strong>… Spaniel’s ears<\/em> or fried eggs<\/em>.” – Ian McKenzie<\/p>\n

“We call the extra skin left after weight loss Shrinkles<\/em> – Antonia Namnath, CEO for the Weight Loss Surgery Foundation of America<\/p>\n

“I used to call my extra baby weight my mommy muffin<\/em>.” – Brandi Koskie<\/a><\/strong>, Managing Editor for DietsInReview.com<\/p>\n

“It’s not extra fat, it’s extra storage.” – Jessi Ward<\/p>\n

Whether you have or have had cankles<\/a><\/strong>, thunder thighs, a talking tummy, or love handles, it can’t hurt to poke a little fun at yourself, or your extra weight. Still, the important thing to remember is to live a healthy lifestyle and learn to appreciate yourself for who you are. We here at DietsInReview want every person to find that balance between continuous self-improvement and having a healthy self-esteem and image of themselves. And really, sometimes, it helps to just laugh about it.<\/p>\n
