Butternut Squash
I've always known that my hips would be the last to go, but I have officially left the realm of being pear shaped and entered the realm of the butternut squash. My top is like a size 14, thanks to my hips I'm a 20 on the bottom.
Thank goodness for skirts!

Haha -- I was excited for some kind of squash recipe.
I was thinking something similar just yesterday. I have always been large chested ALWAYS. Now I have no boobs. I swear -- I wear bras that have the shape in them, so it looks like I do, but when I wear a sports bar I look like a boy -- until you get to my hips. Those wont go away -- there are bones, but there is also the outer thigh fat that doesn't go anywhere.

I did make a really great spaghetti squash recipe last night!

Our bodies are so strange :)

Gwen, don't you know that ALL squash are beautiful and tasty in their own way, depending on how they are dressed, prepared and presented? I LOVE Butternut squash- YUM! Myself--guess I would have to be a long zucchinni.
I googled pear shape- Do you know you grow off the same vine as Jlo- Beyonce- Kim Kardashion? They're all Butternuts, too! Embrace it, girl- you're beautiful!
