Looking for the best bra for side fat? The dreaded “back rolls”? Let’s face it, the worst thing about wearing a bra is actually just wearing a bra that doesn’t fit well. If you’re anything like me, you probably have a “comfy bra”…you know…the one that isn’t flattering and should probably be thrown away but …
I’ve always wanted to walk into a yoga studio and be greeted by someone who is obese or at least plus-size. Or maybe a big heavy guy with a beer belly. Unfortunately, that has only ever happened in my dreams. Every time I walk in I meet a yogi who is incredibly fit, meditates and …
