Winter Formal, Tight dress Options

[misskentucky]

Alright so I'm a skinny person but I have a little extra pudge on my "love handles" and stomach. I have a winter formal coming up on January 26th and I was wondering if any of you now how to lose some of that chub because I'm wearing a tight dress.

What kinds of food should I avoid? What should I eat more of? What exercises can I do (I'm limited because all I have basically is my body, no tread mill and I can't run outside it's winter, icy and all that.)

Avoid salty foods & soup, they make you bloated.

Eat more fruits & make a habit of chewing your food thoroughly and commuting time for your stomach to tell you if you're full. It takes 20 minutes for that to occur. I'm not saying, take a bite and wait 20 minutes. If you chew your food more thoroughly, you'll just eat slower in general, which will allow time for your stomach to register that you're full. Plus, stuffing food down is not good for you anyways.

As far as exercising, concentrate on areas of your midsection. The most common are sit-ups and crunches. Here are some others
1) In a standing position, twist your body left and right as far as you can without moving your legs.
2) In a standing position, lean to the left/right (not forward!) as far as you can.
3) Lying on your back, raise your legs (keep 'em straight) a foot off the ground & hold the position.
4) Begin by lying on your back, then simultaneously bend your knees and lift your shoulders off the ground. Return to normal position and repeat.
5) Position yourself in a pushup position. Instead of balancing yourself with your hands, balance with bent arms (at the elbow of course) so that your arm is making an "L". Hold the position.
You may add weights to some of the exercises to increase the difficulty, but the best way to lose weight is to run. The exercises are geared to define muscles while running reduces fat.

Good Luck!
