Once you know exactly the colors you will be shopping for and have your friend in tow, make a trip to your closet. Weed out all clothing that doesn’t fit your new image or style. Get the clothing out of the back of the closet that hasn’t been worn in years. Prune your wardrobe. While this may be a bit painful it will be worth your efforts. Keep all pieces that meet your new criteria and put the old clothes in a bag meant for donation. What does not look good on you may just be the perfect piece for someone else.
Shopping can be done on a budget. Look for sales, go to consignment shops or thrift stores and look for great finds. And, once you are comfortable with the different styles and cuts of clothing, as well as your ‘real’ size, you can also shop online for some great bargains.
The second half of a complete body makeover is the body. The first half is the image and personal style – the next step is to ensure that the body you are dressing is healthy.
Exercise regularly. You can walk for 30 minutes 5 days a week or anything else that is fun for you – 5 days a week. Be consistent about this. Exercise will tone your body and create more self-confidence. Your new clothes will fit better. You may not drop a size in clothing but your body will be more toned and fit better into the size you now wear.
Watch your nutrition. Eating a healthier diet will create an overall healthier new you. We really are what we eat – so the vitamins, nutrients, minerals and antioxidants we get from our foods really does feed our skin, organ systems and brain. If we are feeding our body junk food we’ll only feel like junk. The occasional ice cream sundae or fast food hamburger isn’t going to make a significant difference if the majority of the food consists of vegetables, fruits and non-processed meals.
