Wear a large hat. It will draw attention away from your big stomach.29

Stop being so negative about yourself and enjoy the party. Best wishes and have fun!17

Lay off the soda and salty foods for a couple of days and wear something fabulous that fits well, rather than squeezing into something too small.7

wear something flattering or wear a body shaper6

Spanx, big hat, and posture. It is amazing what good posture can do.
Of course a few glasses of wine and I look like Yoda- posture be damned
Cheers, h.17 -

What she said.2 -
-Drink lots of water to counter the bloat.
-Eat raw for a couple days.
-Liquids/shakes/soups only for 1-2 days.
-Dry carb up (although I would leave this as a last resort)
All these 4 methods work for me, every time lol.3 -

Posture is so often overlooked. When we feel crummy we tend to slump. When we slump our stomach area pokes out and looks fatter. Standing up straight and engaging the core makes some garments look and fit better.
Also choose an outfit for NYE that flatters you and that you feel awesome in.5 -

You need fiber to toot. Veggies and beans usually do the trick. And peppermint tea helps bloating somewhat. However none of this is magic that's why the color black was invented. Wear black clothes.5

Work on how you stand and poses.2

as others say spanx and wearing black...4

A 4 hour bike ride on Friday, and a 2 1/2 hour ride on Saturday.2 -
It doesn't matter because people are going to enjoy you and will not be paying any attention to your stomach.8

Spanx. Try a fitted top with a skater style dress to make your waist appear slim.0

Besides cutting back on sodium, wearing black, shapewear.. wear your confidence. No one notices a bit of a belly when you rock what you've got. Own it!4

My stomach will literally go down 3-4 inches of water bloat in my belly and 5-6 lbs on the scale when I cut carbs hardcore for just two days. Eat bacon, eggs, low carb (hard) cheese, chicken, any meat really and don't touch carbs for the two days leading up to it. Yes the weight/water will pile right back on after but if a flatter stomach quick is what your after do this, it's temporary but will make you feel smaller and more confident for the party. Also lots of water!2

When I feel like this I stick to black, iv got decent legs but hate my tummy and hips so I feel best in skinnny style black trousers that show off my legs and an empire line top that skims over my hips and stomache. Empire line tops or dresses are fab at giving u a waist and hiding the jelly belly. You know your own best feature and worst so accentuate your best and hide the bits ur not so keen on. I hate spanx, makes me feel like a stuffed turkey :-)2
