I am 5'9 and weigh 130. I am not fat, but feel fat sometimes. And, yes I exercise... and no, I don't eat a lot. Am interested in how to feel good really about my appearance.

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
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.

You say you're not fat, but you feel fat sometimes?! Is this "sometimes" when you're on your period? Cause we all feel bloated around that "time of the month." If you are not fat then you don't need to stress about looking thinner. Take a walk or read a book, do something to keep your mind busy. Wear clothing you feel comfortable in and in something that you still look good in.

Well, if you are not motivated to actually loose weight, try wearing slim fitting clothes. Such as dark jeans, and especially dark skinny leg pants. Darker colors in general. Light ones will show al the "details", like fat sagging out. Sometimes with thin shirts from Abercrombie and Hollister and places, since their shirts are very thin, I always buy dark colors when I'm there to make myself look thiner, and I'm a size small to medium there. Also, long sleeved shirts and leggings.
Merry Christmas!

Wearing black is defenitely good. However, i suggest maybe not using a push-up bra so your boobs won't look as big which can add to the affect of looking a little heavier than you would like. Also, make sure not to wear tight clothes! It defenitely only makes you look worse if you can see a muffin top and rolls under your bra. Even if you ae already very skinny, you will still probably get bra rolls. I know i get them!

just lose weight if u want to look thinner. but it helps if you wear like one of those long shirts that are in right now. but it should have stripes that go up and down and then you could wear skinny jeans to thin out your legs. hope i was of help!

your not heavy!!! but a good way is to not wear horizontal stripes they make you look wide, but for your heighth dnt wear the ones tht go up and down either cuz tht makes u really tall lookin. Situps is a great way to flatten your stomach tho.

wear a longer, black top. also wearing monochromotic outfits makes you look leaner. a wide belt below your bustline, which is really in right now, gives you and hour glass shape. if you like stripes, make sure they are vertical. also, its important that your clothes fit you well- you dont want to things that dont fit right that could make you look bigger and baggier than you are

Be thinner. Diet and old fashioned exercise.
