Q&A for How to Look Thinner

Wrap dresses are a great option. Also, opt for clothes that create an illusion of length, like vertical stripes and panels, V-necks, and long necklaces.

Not necessarily. If you are thin, you are just skinny. You may not necessarily have well-toned muscles or good endurance; you may run out of breath while exercising. If you are fit, then you have a healthy, toned body, and you have decent endurance. Most fit people are also thin because they do a lot of cardio exercise and eat well.

You don't HAVE to exercise, but exercise can help you become more toned and build your endurance. Eating healthy will assist you in losing weight. However, if you want to gain muscle and become stronger, exercise is a good option for you.

Doctors recommend trying to lose 1-2 pounds a week with healthy diet and exercise. So, how long it takes for you depends on how much you want to lose and how hard you work at it.

Yes, it works for people of all ages.

Stand with you legs slightly apart to make it look like there is a gap there, or stand with one leg in front of the other.

Drink a lot of water and stay away from salt.

You could, but that is extremely uncomfortable to do for an extended period and you will most likely forget about it at some point. It's best to wear something that flatters your natural shape and lets you be comfortable.

Drinking water won't make you lose weight, but it can reduce the amount of food you eat by making you feel full. If you have an issue with overeating, drink some water about half an hour before a meal.

Wear high wasted bottoms and make sure you always have good posture.

Do not stop eating. Your body needs food to survive. Not eating can cause illness, weakness and death.

You can try wearing shape wear underneath. You can also wear a loose jacket over top to help slim you at the sides of your waist.

Many women feel this way due to society's pictured "body standards." Think of the models and actresses seen in movies, magazines, on TV, etc.--they are usually thinner than average everyday women. They also compare themselves to others that they think are attractive. Everyone is different, and different styles/looks appeal to one person or another.

Try wearing bootcut or straight jeans. For the shirt, avoid anything with small patterns or horizontal stripes. Consider something that is fitted at top, but looser at the bottom.

A lot of people are incapable of really seeing what they look like, people magnify their flaws or invent them entirely because they are insecure. In the worst case scenario, this can lead to body dysmorphia and eating disorders, so try to keep your focus on what you like about yourself instead of worrying about what you think is wrong.

Try wearing a one-piece instead of a two-piece. Or try a "tankini." If you are going to try a "tankini," try one that is tight around your bust and loose around your stomach. You can also try things with ruffles. Ruffles help reduce the appearance of a bigger stomach because of the detail.

Yes, if you can breathe through your nose and suck your stomach. Don't do this for long periods of time; a pose for a picture is fine, but sucking in your tummy all day long or throughout a party won't be a good idea.

This is very common, especially if you're a girl. It seems like everywhere you look, everyone is thin and everyone is telling you that you have to be thin. All of these messages can screw with your brain a little. This can be harmless if you can just remind yourself, "I'm not fat, and even if I were, there wouldn't be anything wrong with that." However, if the situation is more severe, and you have a hard time quieting these voices, this is a sign of an eating disorder, and you should talk it over with an adult.

Not really. If you didn't eat for 24 hours, you could lose anywhere from 2 to 5lbs, but that would be at the expense of water weight and will cause you to feel weak and even ill. It takes time to reduce what took time to add. To lose weight quickly, see https://www.wikihow.com/Lose-Weight-Fast.

If you simply are looking to hide the love handles, you can purchase Spanxx or similar body-slimming undergarments and wear jeans that fit

Avoid wearing tight clothes, especially pants with a tight waistband, as they can create an illusion of rolls and muffin tops. Instead, try loose-fitting clothes, cloths that are tight at top but loose from waist-down, or peplum tops.

You can't. It takes time to lose weight. The best you can do is wear flattering clothing.

Sit up straight and have good posture. It will reduce the appearance of stomach rolls.

Wear tailored trousers that are slimmer towards the bottom.

You could stand with your legs turned inward, but not so much that it looks weird, or if that's to uncomfortable you could wear loose shirts and flowy pants.

You can't lose weight in just one area. You arms will become slimmer as the rest of your body does. Until then you can wear a long sleeved top or something.

Yes, it will.

Wear skinny black jeans that compliment your body figure. If it's summer, wear a long floral skirt to hide your legs.

If you're female, women typically have thinner waists than hips. Since you have a good waist, you should wear high-waisted jeans, skirts and shorts, and jackets that stop at your waist.

Play a lot and run around, and eat healthy things like fruits and veggies. If you don't like veggies just eat fruits case fruits can go a long way. When you go out to dinner instead of getting fried food or greasy food get a salad instead.
