How to Look Sexy if You Are Big

Packing extra padding? Don't be ashamed - big is beautiful, if you know how to pull it off. Even the thinnest women need a bit of work before they feel ready to face the world in the mornings - just because you're "thick" doesn't mean you're automatically disqualified from beauty.


STEPS

1.Exercise. All women agree on this one: a little bit of a workout works wonders not only on your figure, but your overall health. Don't focus only on losing weight. Instead, after consulting your doctor, start a workout focusing on cardiovascular health and toning your muscles. A woman weighing 190 with 36% body fat looks different than a woman of the same weight with 22% body fat.

2.Good hygiene. Being overweight is completely acceptable. Smelling atrocious or being grimy is not. Pamper yourself with this: get a manicure, get a flattering new hairstyle, but make your natural self, not your clothing,be what makes you.

3.Find flattering styles. Depending on your facial structure and the distribution of your weight, this all varies, for both clothing and hair. With a hairstyle, consult a trained stylist. In clothing, look for a proper fit: your clothing should generally be feminine and a looser fit. That is not to say "baggy", however if you have a tiny waist, accentuate that with a cinched waist instead of wearing a shirt that is not only tight at the waist, but also tight across the stomach.*If it does not fit the way you would like, and you have sewing experience, alter it until you do not see fat bulges or flab. If not, tailors are incredible!

4.Shift the focus away from your weight and to your personality. Add individual style to your clothing and self. A beautiful pair of earrings, or a pretty pair of shoes - they all say something about you. Go for beautiful.

5.Refrain from showing too much skin. This is distasteful on anyone. Wear long or elbow-sleeved shirts or wear light jackets, and knee-length skirts. Most everyone has nice fore-arms and calves, and paired with a flattering cut shirt, this is a lovely way to show off your beauty.

6.Smile. If you think you are beautiful, so will everyone else. Show off those pearly whites!

7.If they're not pearly, get some whitening toothpaste, yellow teeth are a major no-no.


TIPS

1.Be modest and kind. Being pretty does not involve being cruel. This is a rule for everyone.

2.Do not go overboard on cleavage. Draw a line between both nipples. If a shirt's cleavage hits or goes lower than that line, either alter, do not wear, or wear another shirt under the first.

3.Maintain good posture. Anyone who slumps will have stomach rolls. Sit straight, cross your legs at the ankles, and relax the shoulders.

4.Make sure to also have confidence. Confidence will make yourself feel sexy.

WARNINGS

1.Before starting any form of exercise program, consult your doctor. This goes double if you have chronic health problems.

2.Do not become obsessed with thin. Models are unnaturally skinny and often airbrushed - focus on health, not on the number on the scale.

3.Don't ever think that being sexy means to show off.
