I don’t want to get into a discussion about the American ideal of female beauty and how we all needlessly beat ourselves up for not having the “right” body or whatever. As women in this country we’re basically just hosed. Let’s agree to that, and move on.
That said, I don’t want to be wearing a corset or other mystical contraption designed to make me look better but that cuts off my ability to breathe, you know? I’d rather be a little lumpy but comfortable than smooth and in pain. Heh.
But what’s awesome is that now there’s Yummie Tummie, stealthy lump-concealing layering pieces that look (and feel) like regular clothing. The nice folks at Yummie Tummie hooked me up with a couple of skinny tanks and I love them; I tend to layer tank tops under other shirts, already, but these just kind of… smooth me out. While looking to the naked eye just like all of my other tanks.
Today we’re sharing the love—one lucky Want Not reader is going to win a $100 gift certificate to shop at Yummie Tummie. Want to win it? Of course you do! First go review the contest rules and regulations and then come back here and leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. Eastern (8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 to be entered. Winner to be determined by random number drawing and generally sassiness. Because you don’t need a Yummie Tummie—you’re already plenty yummy—but their stuff is so cute and comfy, why not?
Ready? Go!



Well I may be yummy but that’s just because of all the cookies and brownies I eat. I am plenty lumpy and would love a Yummie Tummie.
I am definitely in need of a Yummie Tummie. Please pick me!
I do need a yummy tummy. It’s definitely my problem area. I’m sure it doesn’t have anything to do with my snack habit, it’s definitely genetics.
Let’s hope they do things that are miraculous! Seriously–I can always use more smoothing.
Ooh! Pick me!
Fingers crossed
I stumbled across their site awhile ago and wanted to try it out, but didn’t have the cash flow. I’d just LOVE a gift certificate for it!
my tummy is not yummy so pick me me me!!
I love Yummie Tummie. I think it will be a new winter staple.
Sounds like a great idea!
Now that I’d love to try!
These sound amazing!
Pick me!
I would love a little help
I have not had a yummy tummy since I had kids! This would really help I think
my postpartum tummy really needs this!
My tummy so wants to be yummy!
After 3 kids, my tummy is not quite yummy! Bring it on!
I love that they have long sizes! Perfect for us tall gals.
After thousands of crunches…I still don’t have a yummy tummy. This would be awesome!!
Smooth is good. Plus, it allows for more cookies.
Love the yummie!
I’ve heard that these are fab from a few places… my tummy could use a bit more yummy.
Oh, please? Just had my fourth baby, my tummy is a mess. Very little of my wardrobe fits right now!
Thanks Mir!
I’d love one – I’ve heard great things!
ooh! pick me!
Pick me pick me!
I am pretty sure if brownies weren’t so yummy, I wouldn’t need a Yummie Tummie so badly……
Maybe since I’m in the comments at <50, I'll win this time!
I have had too many yummies in my tummy lately… So pick me!! thanks pretty!
YES PLEASE!
Oooh, this sounds like it would be perfect for my post-baby tummy in a few weeks!
Oh, my tummy sure could use some smoothing…pick me, pick me
Thanks for the chance!
Something for me?
Yay Yummie Tummies!
Please!
I won something from Joss two weeks ago so here’s hoping my luck holds! =)
please and thank you!
pretty please! I hate my fat rolls.
This contest has my name all over it! Count me in again!
They look cute!
Meow meow!
Meow!
Awesome…I’d love this!
My lumps could use a miracle too!
I’ll be 35 in a month. And don’t want to look lumpy!!
I won a couple weeks ago so if random number guy picks me, pick again. I just have a question – my measurements all fall in different sizes for the tanks. Which one should I go by? I’d be a 1X by most measurements, but a 3X by bust measurement. Last thing I want to do is flatten out my ladies since they help make my waist look smaller! Would I compromise and get a 2X and chance it not working as well on my tummy?
oh, that would be great! I’m trying to do the whole “fewer sweets, more exercise” method of reducing tummy size, but a little help along the way would be great!
Sweet!! I would love a Yummie Tummie!
Oh considering I had two women ask me if I am pregnant within the last week (I am not!) I would say this has gotta be for me!
Excellent giveaway – I’m feeling lucky!
OK I never win anything but here I am anyways…..
I’ll need these after I have this baby! Thanks!
What a great prize! Here’s hoping!
Baby due – tummy about to go from “cute bump” to “not-so-cute lump”. Help would be appreciated.
If they can make 51 look yummy, I’m in!!!
I am all for things that help smooth out the lumps and bumps!
Jiggly is my issue…I’m thinking this could help!
C’mon random number picker, isn’t it time to pick me?
I recently lost a lot of weight (over 60 lbs) … and my saggy tummy could use the support.
I really could use this!
Pick me pick me! I want to wiiiiiiiiiin!
This could definitely be a big help!
I could so use some of these:)
I’m game.
I could use a smoothing, bulge hiding tank. Please pick me!
Sounds fabulous!
This would def come in handy
I would love these!!
What a great contest!! Bye-bye twin belly!!
I would love a Yummie Tummie. Please pick me. Thanks!
yes please~ thanks Mir!
fabulous!
Would love to have one of these, especially now that they’ve spiffed up the looks.
2 babies in 2 years makes my tummy not so yummy! I hope it’s me this time!
You bet I need this!
Me please!
I just had a baby a few weeks ago and this would really help me out!
This contest is screaming my name!
My tummy needs help. Daughter said she loves to hug me cause my middle is sooo soft. Ugh
That sounds really interesting — will check them out now (and that’s the whole purpose, right?).
Fingers crossed that this is my contest to win!
I’m a yummy mummy who could desperately use a Yummie Tummie!
Oh, do I ever need a yummie tummie. I’m almost 7 months postpartum, and I had a woman at the grocery store ask me when I was due just last week. Talk about disheartening.
I’ve wanted to try a yummie tummie tank for months now, but they’re wicked expensive, so I suppose that my tummy will remain not-so-yummy. Unless I win, that is! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I just ate at McDonalds. In hindsight I feel bad, but looking foward…a yummy tummie could hide my shame. Thanks Mir.
I definitely need a Yummy Tummy! Do they make a “Yummie-All-Over”?
I’d love to try these out!!
My tummy would like me to enter. I’d like for my tummy to stop bossing me around.
I’ll give anything a try that will make me less lumpy! Count me in!!
Yes, anything to help!
My tummy needs a bit of yummy now and then. Just under the sleeker stuff!
There is not another reader out there who needs this more than I do. Guaranteed. But you, Mir? You’re pretty!
I have borne 5 children. Recently I lost around 25 pounds. I have dropped two clothing sizes. And yet…
It seems that creating a human (or 5)has left an area on my tummy that will not respond to losing weight or lifting weight or doing eleventy bajillion crunches. So something that smooths out that doughy stuff that is still hanging around my middle? I’m soooo in!
I could sure use this, thanks.
Yeah! My tummy is begging for a Yummie Tummie!
Count me in!
Oh I NEED this!
Signed,
Lumpy
Cute! I would love to win this.
I could always use a more yummie looking tummie! I’m in.
I’m lumpy. I could use this.
This would be so good for my bumpy lumps!
I hope they make me look slim again! Thanks.
yummy anything would be appreciated.
I need one! Getting ready to have my 3rd baby and am ready to get rid of the bump!!
I NEED ONE OF THESE!! Would love to have a yummy tummy once again:)
Day 1 (again) of diet & work-outs. I could definitely use a confidence boost!
Never heard of Yummie Tummies, but would love to try them out.
Count me in too!
how have I never heard of these? I would love to try – I think my non-yummy tummy could definitely put it to the test.
The joys of having a decidedly non-yummy twinskin tummy require that I should probably own one of these.
my tummy could use some yummy-fication
Can you wear them 24/7?
I need some smoothing! *G* Sign me up!
Lord knows how bad I need a yummy tummy!
I can always use some slimming!
I have a bunch of babies, I NEED this! LOL
I need this..hope I win!
Totally need this. Just lost 55 lbs. apparently that makes you very jiggly.
Awesome, I could always use a little help here! And I love layers!
I’m hungry for a yummy Tummy!
Goodbye back boobs?
Smoothing? Pick me, please!
Have nothing but awesomeness about yummie tummy. Would love to try one!
Who doesn’t need this?!
Yummy yummy!
Nice!
They even have a nursing T, awesome! Thanks, Mir.
I’ve heard good things about Yummie Tummie tanks. Here’s hoping!
Pick me. please!!!
Me please!
Me!
Do they make a body suit? I’d love something that started at my ankles and pulled right up to my neck.
Gosh, I hope I win.
Me Me Me!!! Every little bit helps, right? : )
ME ME ME! Please?
pick me, pick me!
Awesome giveaway – thanks Mir!
I’d love to try this- thanks!
Please, pick me!
I had my third baby in three years last week. I think I need this!
This could solve some of my issues with clothing. Thanks for the chance!
This tummy could use a little yumming-up!
This would make so many of my clothes look so much better!! Pick me please!
ooh oh pick me!
Pick me!
I love the fact that they look like real clothes! Count me in for the drawing.
Oh anything to hide my new “twin” pouch would be lovely.

Oh, random-number generator, generate my number!
I would love one of these! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
who doesn’t want a flatter tummie? I’m in!
I have wanted one of these for quite a while, but I cannot justify the cost of one. I despise my muffin top.
I NEED THIS!!
I just finished with a round of sit-ups… and I’d love to have these, instead. Sit-ups stink!
I need Yummie Tummie because of all the yummies I keep putting into my tummy!!

Need a little help from my friends….
My tummy is so far from yummy — I NEED this!

Too much yummie in my tummie.

meeeeeeeeee!
Thank you!
Not that I need it, right??
I’d love to try one of these!
please pick me..
Saw these at the mall yesterday! So cool!
As much as I’d like to blame the 2.5 year old for my tummy issues, the empty bowl with a bit of melted chocolate ice cream puddled in the bottom may be a better place to start. Thanks for the chance!
Please pick me – I’d really love to try one!
Yay! I’ve been hearing about these and want to check them out. Thanks!
A little smoothing would be good.
Me, Me! #177!
This is great, thanks Mir!

Since putting too much yummie in my tummie lately, I could DEFINITELY use this!
oh goodness i would love this.
Ha ha, wouldn’t we all love to have yummy tummy??
I DEFINITELY could use some new clothes!
Perhaps with a yummie tummy I could continue to indulge in my chocolate habit…
Undershirts when it’s about to get freakin cold? Good idea!
My tummy needs the yummy.
I have to admit that I could use some help in the muffin top category. Some things never go back where they should after giving birth.
yes, please!
why not.
Okay – I can be real – I have lumps.
Oooh, I could so use this after just having a baby.
I saw them in a store before, and they looked neat. Nice to know they’re comfy as well.

Need it!
help! my tummy is not so yummy!
Oh! OH! I want it! I am recovering from a hysterectomy and go back to yoga class next week. Wearing a Yummie Tummie to yoga…sensibly supportive ego-boost or fatuous to the point of setting back the feminist movement? Nevermind, don’t answer that, cuz Imma do it anyway…
Oh my not so lovely lady lumps need this. Bad. Three kids and hitting middle age? Not kind.
Would love this!
This sounds great! Please pick me!!
Pick me! I’d love me some yummie tummie!

Looks like there are lots of us who need smoothing. I’m in good company. Here’s to having a lucky number.
Ooh! Anything that hides the muffin top sounds yummy to me!
I’ll take one!!! Pick me, please
Now my tummy is generally yummy (well at least all the food that goes into it) but I yearn for one of these.
I really could use a little tummy help.
Yummie Tummie. I probably need more than a tank top, even if it is expensive, to help me!
I roll my belly up before I stuff it in my jeans. It probably won’t help, but yay for givin’ it the old postpartum try.
Time to go from frumpy dumpy to yummy tummy!
My lumpy midsection would LOVE one!
My humps my humps my lovely lady lumps…
Oooh! I’ll need this after #2 is born! lol
Well, I may actually have more Tummy than is considered Yummy, but I’ll give it a whirl.
Oh, this post-partum mama would love this.
Count me in, please!
i love random numbers.
I could really use the help in that area!
After two pregnancies, my belly could use a little smoothing.
My tummy needs this!
I’m not really a shapewear fan, but if I won this, then I’d have to try it, wouldn’t I? And that would be a good thing, trust me.
Jumping up and down in the back… me! pick me!!!
A few weeks ago, I bought my first piece of shapewear. I bought an extremely form fitting dress and knew the only way I’d ever wear it out was if I had something to hide the fact that I’m not disturbingly thin and diet obsessed (unlike my peers). Now whenever I see a girl in a poorly fitting dress or a top that just LOOKS BAD because she doesn’t have the proper under-garments, I silently yell ‘HONEY, SHAPEWEAR IS YOUR FRIEND!’ Self-restraint is such a powerful thing. (It’s also helped some jeans fit better and some dresses lie smoother, which is AWESOME.)
Which is my way of saying ‘pick me! pick me!’
ah, #270. just my weight. ahem! i’d like some yummy tummy.
Thanks!
Oh yum. Pick me.
Out of all the contests this might be the one I will win…I HOPE!
yeah… smooth out the leftover baby lumps
me!
me, please.
Wow, that sounds great!
No more lumpy, bumpy, dumpy me! Hello, yummy tummy.
Nice! I saw these on Oprah a while back, and they were just featured in Real Simple this month. I’d love to try them!
Sounds like something I’d love to try. (Just looked at their website, and it seems that they even skip the “built in bra” in most styles)
Sounds good! Do they have Yummie Buttie, too?
Love the name! Sign me up.
Yummy! Looks right up my alley (ya know, past the Krispy Kreme, hang a left at the all-you-can eat Chinese buffet…)
i just had a baby yesterday and would die 4 the nursing tank!
oh god yes please!
a tummy is not complete with out something yummy.
I’ve put too much yummy in my tummy (not to mention the 4 children that resided in that region) – I am the perfect candidate for a Yummie Tummie shopping spree.
I want to be a yummie tummie mummie for halloweenie.
Sounds yummy! And so does all the chocolate I refuse to stop eating.
Yummy!
Those sounds like something I could use for sure.
Ohh!! I think I need some, pick me!! I am STILL trying to get yummy on my own, and sadly, it isnt working.
Count me in!
Nice…
Mir, I just baked my 482nd cupcake for Founder’s Day at my daughter’s school – I have eaten nothing but cupcake scraps and frosting off a spoon for 3 days straight – think I need this prize?
