Anyone Have Any Advice On Good Shapewear?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Raleigh, NC

I'm often bloated after eating anything & I've been asked if I am pregnant more times than I'd like to remember :/ I'm wanting something to kind of smooth out my tummy area & I can wear everyday but have no idea where to even start looking (brand? style? size?) Is that something you can usually try on at a store? I've assumed it like underwear, just not something you can actually try on before you buy?! lol TIA for any help you might have :)

Embarrassment Over Bigger Arms, How Do You Get Over It?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Bothell, WA

Hi there! I'm new, and this question has been on my mind since I joined... I have bigger arms, and they are what I'm most embarrassed about aside from my huge thighs... I was wondering if anyone has overcome embarrassment and worn shirts with no sleeves? How did it feel? Have you ever overcome embarrassment when it comes to shirts that show your arms, if they are bigger? I just don't know how to do it... I've covered up my entire life.

A MyObesityTeam Member
