Heavy or thin, we all have a gut we don't like. A smaller person might not like the pooch that pokes out. A chunky girl probably hates her muffin top. I know that as a self-titled 'big girl' I catch a glance of myself in the mirror and wonder, "Why the hell do I look pregnant???"
I have other issues that contribute to that look besides my weight, but the point is - we all want better bellies! One simple way to appear a little thinner is to zip up your gut. It might even slowly tighten your abs, too. (I'm not a doctor or fitness expert so I don't know this for a fact.)
Pretend you have a zipper going from the bottom of your belly to the bottom of your rib cage. As you zip it up, pull in your abs and hold them there for as long as you can. Don't suck in your gut to where you can't breath, though. Other people call it 'engaging your ab muscles'. You should be able to pull your stomach in a little and still breath comfortably.
If you do this in front of a mirror, you should be able to see a difference. You will stand up straighter and look a little thinner.
