Silly things to make yourself seem slimmer...

When I finally lose my extra pounds I look forward to not having to do these sily things again..
I am a size 16 and I want to be a 12 again. At the moment I am pretty damn horrified by what I have done to my body so I do these things every day to make myself look slimmer < delusional emoticon>

I have 3 'slim' dresses that I wear with control pants and leggings
I wear lots of make up and have big hair
I hold my belly in all the time
I always have manicured nails (how this makes me appear slimmer I do not know)
I cover my arms and waft perfume over myself to 'seem' more attractive.
I never eat in public
I sit so most of my body is hidden my other people/ under tables
I layer up and wear tight vest tops under everything - even on hot days to stop my tummy from wobbling.

Looking forward to not having to do so many of these compulsive things one day...

Oh and I NEVER have my photos taken - people risk their lives taking pics of me...

I wear my legging pulled up to nearly my bosom to pull me in Grin

If I have a picture taken I breathe in and turn to one side.

I use cardigans with belts over to hide muffin top.

I went into some loo's in a community centre earlier and it had mirrors on three walls so I could see all round myself Shock

I realised there and then that manicured nails and big hair are not making my arse appear smaller Blush

Wear clothes in a matte fabric

Carry an oversized bag

Avoid all clothing that ends anywhere between knee and ankle.
