Lots of women tell me they're not ready to "tackle" their image until they lose weight or achieve their "perfect figure" or "goal weight", however the reality is that they never get around to feeling better about their image because they never reach their "perfect figure"!
As women, lets face it, the grass is always greener so why not just start making the most of what we have rather than wishing we looked like someone else! Let's stop putting off feeling and looking good and start embracing who are today - no matter what shape or size you are, clothes when used in the right way can make you look slimmer! And it's a lot less tiring than working out at the gym!
Here are some basic tips for dressing to feel better!
Breathe In!
Don't buy clothes a size too small in the hope that you will one day fit in to them. This is just sending sub-conscious messages to your brain saying "You are NOT your perfect size". Live in the present when it comes to your image!
Breathe Out!
Just as importantly don't buy clothes a size to big in an effort to hide lumps and bumps. Sub-consciously this is also telling your brain that you have "room to spare" under than baggy jumper so it's ok to have another doughnut. Plus, big, baggy clothes make you look even bigger!
Think Enhance Not Disguise!
Dress to enhance, not to disguise.
Pick at least one physical attribute about yourself that you like. It can be anything from your hair, to your eyes, to your legs, boobs or nails! Anything at all. Then everyday for a week find a way to accentuate that part of the body. For example if you like your hands, wear a nice cocktail ring, do your nails, use hand cream each time you wash them, wear a bracelet. Keep doing this weekly and add a new physical attribute each week. By the end of the month you will be more focused on the good attributes rather than what you consider to be the bad and the ugly!
