Love Handles.
Why do love handles get such a kind sounding name? Even “muffin top” sounds quite pleasant, BUT, muffin tops are not so pleasant. Nowhere else on the body sounds so magical on the ears, gunt? not so much grace! cankles? double chin? sausage fingers? pot belly? spare tire? bingo wings? cottage cheese bum?
What if gunts were called candy mountains? cankles were pillow blends? pot bellies were teddy swells? or maybe love handles and muffin tops should be renamed, with these cute names its like “oh look at my love handles! precioussss”. It should be like “gross, I need to get rid of my greasy fat swells” or muffin tops could be “lardy spill overs”, it may encourage people to not let it get beyond that and we’ll have a healthier planet.
well…I assume that there are already enough ways to make people feel horrible about their bodies, why steal love handles from them? Not everyone has (or can have for that matter) a smooth flat belly, especially once you hit 30+ Let’s lay off the love handles and get back to fighting impossible body image… People with health problems due to their weight don’t have muffin tops, they wear sweat pants.
