There is no need to worry too much if your weight loss programme is going along slowly. That is often the case. If you want to give yourself a boost, though, and at least look thinner, there are a few tips that may help you. There is no harm in a bit of illusion, especially if it can boost your confidence.

Here are just a few of the tips:

1. This one is for women, as make-up can be a friend in thisillusion of looking thin. It is a special tool that can makesome changes in favour of a thinner looking you.

a. A good tan can make you look thinner! Stay in the sun or goto a beauty saloon, and use a tanning lotion, or whatever ittakes to tan your skin. If you use a tanning lotion, use moreunder the cheeks, as the coloured areas will look deeper. Thatwill make your face look thinner than it really is.

b. The use of a lot of eye make up can make your eyes bigger.The bigger your eyes look, the smaller your face will appear toothers.

c. Pay attention to your eyebrows, for the same reasons as in b.

d. You can even make up your legs; yes, really, why not? Put avertical line of oil on the middle part of your legs, so thatit makes your bone shine. You will find that your legs, due tothe extra shine, actually appear a bit longer!

3. The clothes you wear can deceive the eye as to your truesize, and thus make you look thinner:

a. Don't use clothes that are too colourful, as that will onlyattract more eyes on the areas that you really would like tohide. Chose black or dark blue clothes, as they can make youlook up to 5 kilos thinner.

b. When it comes to skirt length, for those who want to to looka bit thinner than they really are, you should choose kneelength skirts. Shorter ones will show off just how fat thoselegs are, and longer ones accentuate thick ankles.

c. Another little trick for men and women is to use verticalstripes. That can apply to trousers, skirts, shirts, dresses,blouses etc. On blouses and shirts, use buttons, because theycreate a vertical line. The same effect can be reproduced withlong zippers.

d. Loosen the pockets, and avoid filling them up. Full pocketsadd bulk, not the visual effect you are looking for when youare trying to look thinner.

4. Always be aware of the position of your body and yourposture. A correct position can make you appear up to threecentimetres taller than you are.

Keep in mind these tricks and work on your illusion of lookingthinner. Also, you can use your imagination to discover more!

“How You Can Look Thinner”

A few simple tips on the way you dress can change your life - make you look thinner and feel happier.

The clothes you choose have a lot to do with the way you look. Unsuitable, unflattering garments can really make you look your worst. The following list of hints should help you to make the best choices when you go clothes shopping.

1. Dont accentuate your heavy areas with ruffles. Never wear them on a blouse if youre busty, or around the hem of your skirt if you have hefty legs.

2. By wearing the same color skirt, hosiery and shoes youll look a lot thinner from the waist down.

3. Try to create a vertical image whenever possible. Wear long scarves, dresses that button from neckline to hem and vertically striped outfits.

4. Control-top pantyhose will give you that five-pounds-thinner look anytime.

5. Wear wrap-around skirts to effectively camouflage bulging stomach, hips and derriere. A wrap coat can also make you look thinner.

6. Where you are heavy, wear dark colors; if you have large hips and legs, wear dark skirts and pants. Dark colors recede and dont draw attention.

7. Where you are thin, wear warm or bright colors; if you have small shoulders and are small-busted, wear pastels to spotlight these thin areas.

8. Never wear a tight belt which forces bulges above or below it. And dont wear anything with a tight elastic waistband.

9. Your legs will look longer and thinner if you wear slingback and backless shoes rather than pumps.

10. Remember that small patterns are best for big people. Avoid clothes with large floral patterns.

Finally, one last suggestion. Try wearing a cool-colored v-neck sweater belted over a warm-colored v-neck shirt. This will draw the eye inward to the warm color and upward toward the face.

Do you have at least one garment in your closet that you never wear because it makes you look fat? Maybe you take it out and try it on every now and then but it still doesn't flatter. It doesn't matter what you weigh you can easily make yourself look fat with the wrong clothes. Learn these basic camouflage rules and you'll never make the same mistake again.

1. Avoid anything stiff. A stiff garment forms a square box around you. It doesn't fall into flattering loose folds but stands out on its own making even skinny people look large. Having a shape is important whatever your size.

2. The same goes for the large tents that we try to camouflage ourselves in. It doesn't work we just look larger. Shape is needed.

3. Other than in your accessories don't wear anything shiny. Shiny is great for jewelry, bags, decorative motifs, scarves, but not for a whole garment. Shine reflects the light making you look bigger and showing every curve and bump.

4. You know about avoiding horizontal stripes but are you aware of hidden stripes? A belt in a contrasting shade, large top pockets, contrasting ribbing on the bottom of a jersey? These are all stripes and can make you look larger than you wish. Look carefully at a garment to check for these design traps and avoid them.

5. Conversely, subtle vertical stripes are (usually) your friend. Find them in a garment's style and stitching, a deeply cut V-necked jacket, a silk scarf hanging loosely, long beads, the drape of pants or skirt etc.

6. But vertical stripes on tightly clinging leggings or pants are not flattering. The stripes follow your curves, emphasizing them cruelly.

7. Avoid bulky fabrics such as quilted parkas- these often offend on two counts, one by horizontally machined quilting and another by too much padding. They look enormous and so does anyone who wears them. Thick mohair jumpers are another fattener. Thinner fabrics, such as polar fleece, can be equally warm so there is no need to bulk up.

8. On the other hand don't buy cheap thin fabrics. A fabric must have enough body to hang well rather than clinging. Even T-Shirts in cheap thin fabrics look dreadful and they don't last as long so are not really cheaper. Buy fewer and buy quality.

9. Monochrome dressing is slimming and elegant. Dress in one color from top to toe, preferably a dark neutral. For interest vary textures or add color in your accessories. A plain black outfit with a turquoise silk scarf or bright pink earrings for example.

10. Don't wear frills and ruffles if you have passed your 10th birthday. They add bulk and look tacky.

11. Beware of clothes that are too small, they are fattening. Not only are they unflattering but wearing them makes you feel fat all day. If a garment is tight chuck it out or pack it away until it fits again.

12. If you have put on a pound or two don't forget to check your bra. Does it still fit? Its so easy to forget and to keep wearing a bra that fitted once. Badly fitting bras create horrible bulges across your back, treat yourself to a new one.

If you bear these tips in mind when shopping for clothes you will have a much better chance of losing a pound or two and looking great.
