To think I can look a touch thinner on 36 hours

[beenaroundtheblox]

Period due, massively bloated, look 6 months pregnant. Big party on Sunday. Any tips on looking less pregnant? All ideas welcome!!

Loooaaddddss of water

Avoid carbohydrates, don't snack and as pp said, drink plenty of water.

Peppermint tea!

eat light, water, herbal tea, sleep. sucky-in pants

Epsom salt bath. It’s what the stars do

Wear something to draw the eyelinen down like a duster coat. Go all out with make up & hair to boost your confidence. Bridget joans torture pants?

Lots of water, limit bready type foods, maybe smoothies and snacks instead of big meals

Pretty much what everyone's said - no carbs, no fizzy drinks, no sugar, loads and loads and loads of water and the Epsom salt bath.

Years ago beauty salons used to offer "inch loss body wraps" which worked (not sure if it just totally drew out any water retention or how it worked but they definitely worked). Might be worth seeing if anywhere near you still does them.

Do or wear something that makes you feel good.

Stand up straight and tall at your party. it makes a real difference.

Choose a fabulous outfit. Realistically, in 36 hours there’s nothing that will really make a difference

I’d just wear a lovely bright lipstick. Do what you can to feel good, mega period bloat is grim. Credit to you for going! You might feel much bigger than you look. I felt so massive last week when I was on I was shocked I looked pretty normal in the mirror. I felt so bloated I thought I’d grown extra chins and gained 2 stone but it was gone in a day or so. Bloody hormones.
