Spanx no thanx

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum. I just made myself laugh. I bought a Spanx cami hide and sleek type thing because of my big belly. I'm 37" round the stomach and when I put on the cami I'm STILL 37". Did I laugh. I'm afraid that this type of underwear doesn't do anything for me. Instead of holding me in - I PUSH IT OUT hahaha.!!! Does anybody have any other suggestions - other than lose the gut ??
