Ever Been Called Thunderthighs? Count Yourself Lucky

I was watching Oprah yesterday afternoon (which I'm sure was a repeat since everything seems to be this time of the year), and Dr. Oz was on the show.  They were discussing dieting and weight issues and all those lovely issues.  He said something that surprised me, and I think surprised Oprah.  He was talking about how most people carry weight around their stomaches, and he was saying that it was really bad for you.  She asked about people who carried their weight on their hips, butt, and thighs.  Dr. Oz said that they were LUCKY because it was a different kind of fat that wasn't as detrimental to you.  It was the first time I ever felt LUCKY because I have fat thighs...

Never been called that but always thought mine could stand a little help. Thanks for the smile today.

Teh problem is that after your thighs get overloaded, the belly is next. I have both. Sigh.

I've been called that. However, I do carry weight around my stomach as well.:(

Most of my weight is from the waist down, too! LOL

Then the designers should be catering to us "healthy" people, instead of the skinny jeans! HA!
