To answer your question over at my blog. At that point I was probably starving and out of my mind. They suggested putting it in a shake so I went with the slim fast. Since it's supposed to speed up metabolism, I figured it would probably balance out. Valarie in AL's last blog post..ANYBODY WANT TO BUY A HOUSE?

Brad — Probably right. Just lazy and misshapen.

Lalena — I’m with your husband — lying on the bed sounds like a great plan. Will do, as soon as Dick is home to take hear the screaming masses!

I have that too…I hate it
I am so bad about doing my stretches.
Someone told me that laying on your back with your head hanging off the side of the bed for 15 minutes a day helps stretch it out…my husband liked the idea

There’s a hump in my future, I just know it. As for frumpy people at Wal Mart-NEVER. Where do you live anyway? Everyone around here takes pride in their errand running

My mom and sister and I have that too, it's called kyphosis. It gets worse over time, it got so bad with my mom that her lungs are being squashed and she has to use an inhaler. So it's important to do whatever you can to prevent the progression. Certain stretches really help, and rowing exercises, and always being conscious of keeping your shoulders back. But yes the clothes situation is terrible. And not only do I have the hunch, I have NO SHOULDERS. Boat necks work well for the shoulder situation, but not for the back.

tmbd -- I love lipstick too. It is usually the ONE thing I put on (well, often a powdery/foundation/concealer-type thing too). But lately my lipsticks have been purloined by three also-lipstick-loving girls. SO FRUSTRATING. Here's Spot with cherry chapstick. Daisy -- I'm usually proud of myself for getting the help you need, so I'm embarrassed to say I haven't ever asked a doctor about my hunchback (my dad is a DO FP though, so maybe I just assumed he would say something if there were a medical-type-ish remedy). But you have inspired me to fight another day (rather than just covering up). Thanks!

I am a huge lipstick fan. When I have time for nothing else.. I put on lipstick. I'm sure people are thinking... who is that frumpy, unshowered gal with the bright red lips? the mama bird diaries's last blog post..the queen of excuses

Great post. I wish I could say I recently bought an entire outfit of $15.50. Loved that you are not wanting you husband to think you'll always be fighting the frump. Too funny. I always tell mine that he'll be so excited for my FTF post. He just looks at me like I'm crazy. fullheartandhands mama's last blog post..The Dreaded Diaper Bag

You are probably talking abot Dowager’s Hump. This is a curve of the vertebrae (compression) that is caused by osteoporosis. My grandmother had it and all the women in her family before her – my mother and here sister have avoided it because of early calcium supplementation and exercise.

You should consider talking with a doctor and a chiropractor about what you can do to minimize this problem for yourself!

Good tips in the meantime though!
