Yesterday I decided it was time I tried out the belly bands my sister left me.  My jeans were feeling pretty snug so it was worth a shot.  I put one on and zipped up my pants and sure, it felt like my muffin top was squished in a little but my jeans were still tight.  It only took me about half the day to realize the belly band goes on the OUTSIDE of the jeans so you can leave them unbuttoned.  Oops!  🙂
