Re: Topic for discussion: The Sharpei body type (posted to 2 diff. lists)

[Guest guest]

Hmmmm. Yes, this is an issue (potentially for me) as well. To date, my upper arms are a bit more jiggly then they were...my boobs were never that bad, so you know...whatever. The inner thighs are pretty scary. I'm exercising a lot, and my gym trainer and Pilates trainer know to focus on the inner thighs, the upper arms and the belly. I'm just praying it gets better by the time is here.

I have pretty good skin tone, and the jiggly may be in part because I couldn't do any exercise for about 7 weeks. But, stillll.....

I wouldn't say a damned thing. Let them find out after you are naked. frankly, they are just so happy to have a little action coming their way, they probably won't even notice.

If it comes up, I'd say, "Look, I had surgery, and this happened...my body is adjusting, it will probably get better with a little time...but if not, I'll probably get plastic surgery. So, do you want to screw, or do you want to evaluate my skin tone?
