5 Signs you are Obsessed with SIZE

If any of these statements describe YOU, you desire to be slim may be running and ruining your life.

Sign No. 1: TOTAL COVER UP
Even though you're a respectable size 8, you steer clear of any activity that requires a bathing suit.

Sign No. 2: WORKOUTS COMES FIRST
You cut back on sleep and even blow off school / work deadlines if they get in the way of exercise.

Sign No. 3: FLUS ARE GOOD NEWS
While most people hate catching a cold, you're happy when you're sick because your appetite is stifled.

Sign No. 4: YOU SIZE OTHERS
You felt fine about your appearances when you left the house this morning. But once you see that lanky women in super-tight suede pants, you tell yourself how fat you are.

Sign No. 5: SICK WOMEN LOOK GOOD
You see images of severly underweight women and they make you wistful rather than worried. "If you don't realise how self-destructive anorexia is, you need a serious wake-up call."

How to dress TWO KILOS Thinner
While colour has given new life to wardrobes in the past few seasons, there's no denying the slimming power of basic black.

Where it alone for head-to-toe sophistication or team it with a splash of colour if the thought of all black is too dark a statement.


WHY BLACK IS THE BEST INVESTMENT
  • It's sophisticated yet practical - it doesn't show the dirt or require frequent dry-cleaning

  • It mixes and matches with almost everything

  • It makes for an early transition from day to night

  • You can wear the same black item more often - people don't remember them the way they do coloured pieces

  • It's a wonderful backdrop for some funky jewellery
MIXING COLOUR WITH BLACK
DOs
  • Wear vibrant or light colours near your face with black - they brighten all complexions

  • Wear a coloured belt to emphasize a small waistline

  • Mix black with chocolate brown or charcoal grey for a luxurious look

  • Slip into a pair of coloured shoes just for the fun of it
DON'Ts
  • Overdo the coloured accessories (Choose either a belt, jewellery or a scarf - not all three)

  • Wear bright colours on body parts that need slimming (for example, avoid coloured stockings if your legs are heavy)

  • Add strong accent colours (such as fuchsia) to all-black outfits in large amounts. The bolder the colour, the less you should use
