7 Tips On How To Look Good Right Now Whilst Losing Weight On Your Gastric Band Journey!
Here are some tips on how to look thinner when you're on your way to getting slimmer! * Bling Bling - why not add some glammer with jewellery! I used to think that there was no point 'glamming' it up while I was losing weight because I wasn't at my goal weight, but there's no better way for you to feel more self assured than making sure you look as good as you possibly can, it doesn't matter what the number on the scale says. Jewellery gives you the chance to highlight that part of your body that you're most secure with - whether it's your face, wrists or cleavage or whatever you choose! Whether it's earrings, necklaces, shoes or bracelets - any accessory can change an outfit radically and with the constant changing fashions, it's also an easy (and cheap!) way to keep looking trendy without having to spend a whole lot of money. * Instead of concentrating on your 'trouble spots', look at your overall body shape - when you look at your outline in the mirror, what do you see? Take notice of things like whether you're apple or pear shaped and how broad your shoulders are in relation to your hips. Once you are aware of what your shape is, you can wear clothes that balance your whole body. * Consider colour - dressing thinner doesn't have to mean wearing black from head to toe. One of the most vital things you can do is dress in the one colour which creates the illusion of sleeker silhouette and it doesn't have to be black! If you do wear different colours, it may give you a much broader profile. Wearing the one colour doesn't mean you have to be boring - for some extra glammer you could add some funky accessories or have a colourful handbag. * Dress in clothes that actually fit you - as you may be dropping weight quite quickly, it can be hard to keep up with items to wear and you don't want to be constantly buying new clothes (more on that later!). Be careful about wearing clothes that are a size too small because it will only draw attention to the bits you don't want attention drawn to! On the other hand, oversized clothes will only make you look bigger. Look for clothes that show off your shape, not hide it and belts can come in handy too for that ever shrinking waist! What about some ideas on managing your wardrobe as you ditch the kilos?! * Swap clothes - your friends or family may have some bits and pieces you need (and vice versa), so arrange for a clothes swap. Invite everyone over with their cast-offs and everyone can find some new outfits. You'll definitely find a few items to tide you over and it's a great way to get rid of the clothes you don't wear anymore. * Op Shops - a great way to find some cheap outfits to tide you over until you go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. It may take some time and persistence to find something that doesn't look like it's come out of last century, but definitely well worth it. EBay can be another great source to find some cheap, in-between clothes. * Pamper yourself - don't ignore the little things. Why not get a new haircut or a new colour or why not get your eyebrows shaped. Anything small you can do will help you look and feel great. I have started to get regular manicures and pedicures and there's nothing better than feeling complete from head to toe! The best way to boost your self esteem is to take action, so make it part of your daily routine to look your best each day and watch your self esteem rise. So - glam it up and get out there!!
