Until the summer a few days: all dress up in a bright, bright, tucked trousers, exposing slender ankles. Put on open sundresses, shorts, T-shirts - here it is, grace! But alas, not for everyone. In hot weather, full of people to live becomes even more difficult.
Hot. Sticky. Heavy. The body, already huge, swells, and it seems to increase even more in size. Who knows these problems firsthand, knows what I am writing it-me.com.ua... You subconsciously strive to shrink, shrink, hide your stomach, arms, legs, neck - your “pain points”. Of course, we ourselves decide what is acceptable for us and what is not, and the fear of causing attacks from others can be very strong, especially in a society where a lot of aggression has accumulated, and yet - try to go from your own comfort and a sense of beauty.
Who said that you can not wear full white pants, cross strips, large pattern, that a large cell, short skirts only for thin? Do not be afraid, expose your elbows, neck, shoulders - wear what you want to face.
1. Let color and fabric be your allies
Recently read in one blog that a complete woman can never look fashionable. And then the question arises - would you like to be fashionable or stylish?
Nina Garcia, fashion journalist, editor-in-chief of Elle magazine, said in one interview:
“If you look at women who have gone down in history as extraordinary, you will find that they never followed fashion. They were unique in their style, broke the rules, did not follow trends. They were genuine, natural, original.
Style is the awareness of who you are and who you want to be in the world; it is not a desire to be someone else, and not a desire to look slimmer, lower, higher, more beautiful. It is a deeply personal expression of your essence and every time you dress, you affirm a part of yourself. ”
And this, in my opinion, does not depend on weight or age. True? But back to the heat.

2. No synthetics and free cut
The main thing in this weather - no synthetics! Only cotton, viscose - natural, breathable, thin fabrics. It is better to spend a little more money than to buy a pseudo-clapper thing, which in the heat turn into a spacesuit and make your life unbearable.
Even if you like tight-fitting models, in hot weather it is better to choose a free cut. After all, another problem with a lot of weight is excessive sweating.
“I spill water and feel horrible, I don’t know where to go from shame and my face is wildly red,” the fat girls write.
Suppose you are planning to lose weight and are wondering whether it is worth buying loose things in size or is it better to go that little for motivation? Tricky question.
If you are going to lose conditional 5 kg, try walking in jeans that pop up on you - for disciplinary purposes - if you can, of course. But when it comes to great weight, you need to create maximum comfort for yourself - in a week you are unlikely to lose weight ...
Isabelle Adjani, who lost 30 kg at the age of 60, warns: “You don’t need to force yourself into an ideal body through exhaustion and despair. Treat yourself with love and respect. "
3. Tights to not rub the hips
Another problem that is not customary to talk about - and by the way, it concerns not only very fat women.
If you wear skirts, dresses, then it is quite possible that you rub the inner surface of the thigh - sometimes it is bleeding, it is impossible to walk. Solve this problem in different ways - someone uses baby powder, someone - cream.
My friend simply cut off her pantyhose - the lower part - and thus made her life easier.

4. Cool tired legs
Excess weight and heat greatly complicate the life of our feet. Many cosmetic brands have tools to help.
When problems are minor, spray with menthol helps, gels - they cool the skin.
If your legs swell too much, consult your phlebologist, go to a specialized pharmacy and ask you to choose compression socks, stockings or pantyhose. And do not worry - like this, stockings in the heat! Everything is thought out there, choose subtle - they work fine and come in different colors - solid, black and others.
5. A little trick that will get rid of "smudges" under the armpits
When buying an open dress or T-shirt, choose a model with a deep low armhole - so that the skin does not come into contact with the fabric.
6. Concealer or highlighter instead of foundation
"I have a red face, like in a bath." Covering your face with a dense foundation in the heat to hide the redness, you thereby make yourself only worse - “block oxygen for him”, your face does not breathe! This only complicates the situation.
Makeup artists advise switching to lighter options - for example, CC creams, or maybe even abandon them altogether.
Instead, try using a dot concealer or highlighter - so you can hide what you think is necessary to hide and not harm the skin.
Now cosmetic brands produce color correctors to combat redness, bruising, and pigmentation.
7. Frozen berries instead of water
First, everyone sweats, not just you. Stock up on paper napkins and do not pretend that this does not concern you, do not wait for sweat to drip onto documents, into a cup of coffee - just openly and calmly use a napkin. You are a living person, and your body reacts to high temperatures.
If a public appearance is to take place, do not drink water 1-2 hours before. It is better to eat frozen berries (carefully, in the heat it is easy to pick up a sore throat) - they will remove dry mouth and you will not “spill water”.
In the summer, two seemingly mutually exclusive problems await us — edema and dehydration. Find your golden mean - how much to drink, and most importantly, keep yourself from uncontrolled water consumption. After all, sometimes increased thirst - the body's response to stress, which the body is exposed to in the heat.
This also applies to appetite. It is believed that in summer you don’t want to eat much, but in fact many people provoke heat to gluttony, especially in the evenings when the heat goes away.
Drink something that does not cause the desire to drink even more and helps "appease" the appetite - water with lemon, herbal teas, ginger drink.
