Appear thinner and more confident

It’s hard to feel good if you don’t look good and it’s hard to stick to your diet if your self-confidence is in the gutter. But how do you boost your confidence if you feel bad about your body? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could feel more confident and love the way you look right away?

Many dieters wait until they are the perfect size to invest any time or effort into their appearance. But they’ve got it backwards. You need to invest in yourself every day, starting at the beginning of your diet, so that you look fabulous, feel empowered and believe that you are capable of doing everything you set out to do.

• Stand up straight: If you stand up straight, you’ll look thinner and taller. This sounds too obvious to work, but it’s not. The way you hold your body contributes significantly to the way you feel and the way you present yourself to the world. If you stand up straight, you'll appear thinner instantly.

• Change your hairstyle: An elegant ponytail does the trick nicely. But you can also go beyond the basic style to add height to your frame. Try a trendy quick up-do to change your appearance. It may even help you stand a little straighter! Make an appointment with your hairdresser to know more.
• Wear (comfy) heels: Comfortable flat shoes are great if you need to walk a mile or two. But to look thin and radiant you need to cultivate your sassy side. You need to find a pair of heels shoes that help you reinvigorate your sexy zest. You need to wear high heels! The only problem is that many high heels are uncomfortable and you’re not likely to project a confident self image if you are in pain. The trick is to find comfy high heels.
• Wear the correct size: If you’re on a diet because you’ve gained weight, then your closet may need some attention. Are your clothes too small? You need to wear the correct clothing size if you want to look slim and feel more confident. Wearing clothes that are too tight will make you feel uncomfortable. But clothes that don’t fit also serve as a constant reminder of your weight.
• Wear power accessories: If you want to feel powerful, you need to look powerful. Invest in the power accessories that make you feel strong. If you are concerned about the cost, find a special handbag, a great pair of shoes or pair of elegant earrings that make you feel great. Visit thrift stores to find a deal.
• Wear tailored clothes to look fit: You’ll look fit and slim if you have a strong, well-sculpted appearance. For example, a basic blazer might have a seam on the right and left sides to connect the front and back. You want more tailoring than that. Find a jacket that has additional seams or darts to give it more shape.
