Hi guys!

Tonight (I'm in Europe so I have 10 more hours left :) ) I have to fit in my very tight dress.

BUT my stomach feels so bloated today (not because of my period, and not because of fat, cause I don't have it...) and I need your advice what to do to make it flat again ASAP...

Any suggestions?

Thanks! and Happy New Year to everyone!

    Corset, or full-torso/to the thigh corrective underwear. I wear a corset and corrective pantyhose under my dresses.

    hehe, glad I amused you :)

    the peppermint tea is an excellent idea too! And I always find planking helps when I'm bloated.

    Well, it's so logical but still so unexpected :smile:
    Yeah, I'll do my abs workout definitely ;)

    Avoid salt too. Water retention will make you bloat.

    OK, no food for the rest of the day, herbal tea, as much exercise as you can fit in and STRONG underwear.
    Or, wear a different dress :wink:

    I did think about shaping underwear, but I really don't want to be all squeezed and without air whole night :smile:
    I'll try to eat as little as possible, drink tea and do my workouts.

    Sounds like a plan :drinker:
    Thanks guys!

    They aren't great to do alot, but water pills like Diurex. You have to drink LOTS of water with them! Gets rid of sodium retention! Also, add lemon juice/lemons to your water and like everyone said.... peppermint tea!

    Lol, maybe I was just hoping there would be one other person out there like me in a tight dress with a little tummy poking out. We can't have ALL perfect body parts!

    very little food, extra exercise and one New Year's toast makes for one tipsy girl.

    I feel you on the Spanx hate! Do what everyone else says, drink lots of fluids, avoid salt. Get some diuretic greens in, maybe? like parsley, dandelion greens (it comes in a tea, too) to get rid of excess fluid.

    epson salt bath reduces bloating but is only a temp effect and not for anyone with heart issues

    This is too late - but perhaps for future reference:

    I didn't eat salty food (actually I ate as little as possible, to feel full and to have enough energy) and I did some stretches and abs workout. And I had peppermint tea.

    But, I got my flat tummy back again after I took half hour nap. I woke up without that awful feeling that my stomach will blow up. :happy:

    So if you have same problem, flat tummy with tendency to bloat often - maybe try to take a little nap after drinking some peppermint tea.

    The dress fit perfectly and the night was great. So thank you all! :wink:
