Do only fat people take long baths?
I love taking long baths but now when I take a long bath my tailbone hurts SO BAD! The hard porcelain from the tub is really uncomfortable! Do skinny people not take baths because of this?? EEK!

When I was fat, I actually didn't take baths because I didn't fit in the bath tub. I live in a mobile home and our tub is tiny. I really miss my old apartment because the tub was huge.
Oh, I took showers when I was fat. I just couldn't sit down in the tub. I could kind of fit, but my butt was wedged in there pretty tight. It was not comfortable.
Now I take long bubbles and read in the tub. I love it.
And guess what? I know the answers to the sore tailbone in the hard tub problem. I learned it from somebody else here on OH but I can't remember who. I bought a foam pad from Walmart, the kind you would put under sleeping bag if you went camping. I can't remember how much it cost but it was really cheap. The pad was a lot longer than I needed, so I just cut off a piece to fit. It's thin, dries quickly, and the tub is no longer too hard.
I gave the other piece of mine to someone else, who told me she cut it into the shape of a heart which I think is really cute.

Thanks Kelly! That is such a good idea!!! I will be doing that!

Hey, who are you calling fat?!?!? 
LOL.
I still take long bubble baths, but I do have to shift position periodically so the weight is on what is left of my butt. I found that my it hurts much less now than it did while I was losing (partly becasue you just get more used to it and partly because I was working out the gluteal muscles to try to build them up a bit for about a year)

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
I think my main problem is I have the flattest butt in the entire world. I can barely hold my clothes up because my ass is so small! So now that I lost padding on my flat flat butt I am really screwed.

Your post made me laugh too because my mom used to tell me that taking long hot baths would make me fat.
I was always thin growing up because my mom couldn't bear the thought of us getting fat so she watched everything we ate.
For me I think it was a good thing because she kept us from being fat kids but both my sister & I got heavy when we were adults and then my mom was kind of rough on us.
My mom was thin until she died at 85.
She was still doing aerobics and walking every day.
My sister & I were adopted and we both struggled with our weight.

I always had the opposite thought, that only skinny people (like my husband) can fit into standard tubs and my fat arse would need a jaccuzi tub. Hey, maybe I fit now!!! Gonna buy some bubble bath now
