How To Hide A Bit Of A Gut?

[Guest NatalieM]

I'm fairly new to women's clothing, at least in terms of dressing my body. I'm not hugely fat or anything, but I do have a bit of a beer gut. When I stand up, it's almost not noticeable, but when I sit down, it's fairly obvious. I want to be able to wear that tight dress and not have to worry about my pudge showing. I'm roughly 6'0, 130lbs. Sorry I don't have my clothing sizes, all I know is that I wear 34" waist pants (but I can get into a 32" if need be) and medium men's shirts.

My personal style would probably help you out, too:

I'd like to dress my age (19)

I'd like to look flirty, but not like a very *friendly* person

I have a bit of a rocker edge

I don't know why, but I love strapless stuff

I'm also on a bit of a tight budget, so any cheap fixes would be great.

Honest? (I'm trying to remember back to that age but its kind of hard....) For the clothes that you are thinking of? There isn't a "fix"/disguise. Genetic chicks either have to "accept the pudge" (And there are many that do, thats why you see pudge in spandex) or knock themselves unconscious to lose it. Starvation, odd diets that actually are bizaar, garments to "smash" it down even though its painful, that surgery where they cut of part of your stomach, bulemia, life threatening pharmacuticals, thats what genetic peeps do. Only 2% of the female population can wear the kind of clothes you're talking about and be "flat stomached".

If you're 6' and 130 you likely aren't "fat". The perception of how much fat is acceptable on your body as a female has to change. You find most 5'7" girls who weigh 130 and they are satisfied. The last time I weighed that I was 14? 15? And considered myself "trim". The male genetic body , by comparison , is not prone to holding fat in the same way the genetic female one is and you might've gotten used to thinking 2% body fat is "regular" . lol its not. At least not in the world of women. Just do a bunch of crunches and leave the rest alone. Let estrogen "rearrange " it. The rearranging is a BIG part. There are genetic girls who have beer guts but the remedy for that is stop drinking beer.

HRT gets rid of it in about 6 months, but you probably aren't on it. I would use a body shaper - they work pretty well, but are not made to pee eaily - so they are a hassle. Also, the weight loss elastic bands with velcro work, but sometimes show lines.

No easy way other than stop being male.

Testosterone puts fat inside your abdomen - its not so much exterior as interior. Estrogen puts fat 'down south.'

How you stop being a male?

[Guest JenniferPH]

Control top hosiery may help. Or get a corset.

[Guest NatalieM]

Thanks for the great advice. I know that estrogen is going to move the fat around a bit, but I won't be on it for a while. I mean, it's not a gigantic gut by any means, I'd just like to look my best. The other option is to find clothes that work around it. I'm sure I can find something that'll work.

thanks again for the advice, I really appreciate it.

At your age I'd get a corsett that is made to be seen with the clothes you wear, then the corsett does its job while you have your fun..

At your body to weight ratio I would not suggest a diet. It sounds like you need to exercise the target muscles to get rid of your love handles. Here's a link with some exercises you can do to burn off your love handles. http://www.flat-stomach-exercises.com/love-handles.html

I don't see how you could have a gut! 6 foot and 130 lbs?? You have to be the skinniest lady alive!! I'm about 140 lbs and only 5'5 and I'm in pretty good shape. I think you're probably doing the normal thing that girls do, and that's over-critiquing yourself. I bet you look beautiful. Wear what you want and be proud of how you look.

Okay...maybe I messed up a little... The 130 was from not too long ago, ubt I didn't realize how much I'd grown sicne then. I'm actually 160ish. My bad

Nooooooooo, not the BEER, I'm only 2 cases of food poisoning away from a size 6!

I agree wit the get a corset idea or a waist cincher if you dont want to be staring at your love handles/gut but loosing the fat is the only thing thats going to make it go away everything else is going to hid it. But corsets are generally (the real ones not the vanity ones) comfortable and they support good posture. I wont say they will bring back the dinosours but you would be surprised what you can do with one. And they are still good to have after you loose the fat. Pleasant Journies.

I like to put one in the passenger seat all dressed up so I can ride in the carpool lane! Have to make

sure its buckled up, though. Don't want to get a ticket for THAT!

CM, you are just whacked!! I LOVE IT!!!

I am also 6', and hover around 160, so I am prolly built about the same as you Natalie. I do have the advantage of over 35 years of dressing in girl mode, so I know what I can squeeze into and still breathe. I have long legs, so my normal size is 10 long. and L for tops. I have not started HRT yet either (soon tho!!), but I tend to make my girlfriends mad cuz I have a pretty good figure already (38-26-38 with help only at the top!!) I don't drink, except coffee, so mebbe that helps. I do still wear control tops, just to keep things smooth. My best suggestion is to head out to your local thrift shop(s) and check out some of the things there. You will prolly find some nice things, and you can try on several sizes til you find what fits best. Once you know what fits, then you go SHOPPING!! If you are really concerned about a lil pooch, do some crunches every day, it'll be gone before ya know it!!

Love
