Body shaper

I just bought a waist nipper to see if it helps me to eat less and found that it consistantly reminded me that I would need to think one more time before eating something.  Is anyone out there wearing body shapers on a regular basis?  What kinds of body shapers would you recommend?  Is it helping you to control your eating?  I kind of remember that body shapers are not good for health.  Is it true?  If so, why?  Thanks in advance ~~

I wear them to keep the excess skin from flopping around.  I know..... ick!!!!

I never thought of wearing one to remind me to eat less.  They're so uncomfortable as-is, I can't imagine wearing one all day.

Something of interest, I remember reading years and years ago about an actress (I think it was Farrah Fawcett) who use to wear a thin gold chain around her waist all the time.  She said that if the chain started to feel tight, then she knew she was putting on a little weight and to cut back for awhile. 

Same concept as your waist nipper but more attractive and comfortable! 

I wouldnt wear one because I dont want the extra heat from it....but I do agree with the reminder to eat less.  I found that in thinking back to when I was heavy, I wore elastic clothing.  Today, I wear fitted clothes (except when I work out, stretch pants) The fitted waists and fitted suits remind me to keep an eye on the clothes.  I do love it when things get loose!

Love the idea of a belly chain!

I find this idea kind of disturbing... like chastity belts... or having your jaw wired shut...

I know the Ardyss Body Magic works wonders. I had heard nothing but good things about them so I decided to try it. They have all types of reshaping garments, long, short, waist only, even men. the body magic suit shaper helps change your body over time.  Sometimes I noticed that it helps me not to eat as much which is good. It has been fairly motivating for me because when you first put it on, you lose inches right away. sometimes I can literally take my pants off without unbuttoning them. I really love it. I know you can get one here... http://www.magicbodysuit.com . I have found that being able to see what I will look like as I continue on my weightloss journey really helps me focus and I have been losing weight since I got it. You also buy this organic juice with it, it helps burn fat, boost your metabolism and give energy.

I just ordered the high rise spanx panties from amazon to wear with my wedding dress.  They are supposed to take off an inch or two!  Hopefully I like it!

I bought some Spanx to wear with a dress that was kind of clingy. I don't know why people keep saying they make you lose inches because it was just like wearing pantyhose. Maybe I bought the wrong size.

When you say "waist nipper," do you mean a corset? I don't think it's really healthy to wear something that is squeezing you in to that extreme...I can't remember specifically either but I think it can mess up your internal organs. 

Back when I was slowly, steadily gaining all this weight I am now slowly, steadily losing I read some advice to always keep your "daytime", somewhat constricting clothes on until you were done eating for the day as a "reminder" not to eat too much.  Of course, I continued to change into sweats/shorts as soon as I walked in the door, so it was like most good advice, it fell on stony soil.  And now that I am paying attention, all my clothes are pretty loose.  But maybe a good tool for maintaining, once I get there.
