Waaaaahhh! I am so fat. I am 5' 2" and 178 lbs. My stomach lingers down over the top of my pants and I have fat rolls along my sides. I want to know tips on how to disguise this without avtually losing weight. Are there girdles or something that will make me slim, beautiful, and stunning by next friday? I need to impress this guy. Bad. Help me. I am so fat!

good luck

ok, jeez calm down. I would guess that someome would rather actually look slim than lying to themselves by wearing something to disguise it. Pardon me for having common sense. But go ahead, buy a damn girdle. Don't try to lose weight and be healthy. You're only hurting yourself. [ xO_b_r_i_a_n_a_Ox's advice column | Ask xO_b_r_i_a_n_a_Ox A Question ]

There are corsettes that you can buy that suck everything in basically. i'm not sure on the prices but they cant be too costly.
You just put them on around your stomach and tie them up I believe and it pushes everything up towards your boobs, hah.
Go to a store where they sell dresses and ask for one, and if they dont have it ask if they know of a place that does for cheap.
The best way to impress a guy, though, is with your personality, not your looks.
If you have to get his attention with your looks then the relationship is based on something shallow, and will most likely not work out.
Accentuate your flaws though. Wear something that will make you look classy, but not too out there. Draw attention to yourself, but not that much that it will be turned into something negative.
Put on makeup, do your hair all nice and find the perfect outfit for your body shape. You can even go to stores and ask them what type of outfit and colors would look good with your body shape.
They're experts on that thing ;]
Good luck! [ VainTaraLynn's advice column | Ask VainTaraLynn A Question ]
