Skinny girls have muffin tops too


“Do you like these jeans on me?” A friend asked her best girlfriend while out shopping at the mall.

“They’re a little tight. What size are they?” her skinnier friend asked.

“A size 6. That’s what size I’ve always worn, not mess with me,” the thicker friend commented.

“Have you lost weight, I mean they’re tight, but they look great?”

The thicker friend just rolled her eyes, and went in the dressing room. The boutique only had one dressing room. She knew that her skinny friend would try on her jeans after her. Her friend always waited until she felt terrible about herself, before trying on her clothes that made her look perfect in every way. As she stood there looking at herself in the mirror, she admired her curves. She ran her hands over her curvaceous figure and loved what she seen in the mirror. “I am a perfect size 6,” she said to herself.

She came out of the dressing room, with her chosen jeans and sat on the sofa next to her skinny friend. “Your turn,” the thicker friend said.

“This will only take a second, they had my size 2 jeans in every color that I wanted them in. I just need to try on one pair.”

As the thicker girl waited for her friend, she looked around the boutique at all the clothes on the racks and the shelves. They have shopped here many times before, in fact they come to this boutique so often that the store clerk knew them by name. Just then she could see her skinny friend through the curtain in the dressing room. She was checking out her body in the mirror with just her bra on, and the pair of jeans she took in.

There was something odd about the way the jeans looked on her. Something somewhat familiar about what was shaping above the jean line; could it be? A muffin top? “No way” she thought, skinny girls are all bones, they don’t have enough fat to produce a muffin top. She didn’t want her friend to notice her staring so she tried to look away, but she had no choice but to look.

Her friend never did come out of that dressing room. But she mentioned how perfect the jeans were on her, and that she was purchasing every color.

The thick girl did not want to say anything to discourage her friend, so she just quietly laughed to herself, “Skinny girls can have muffin tops too!”
