Slip on to slim down

Let me start with a disclaimer: I’ve joined a gym and I’ve stocked my fridge full of veggies. So I don’t feel so bad about saying this: I think I’d like to cheat to slim down. Sure, I’m sticking to my New Year’s resolution and I’m on my way to shedding a few pounds, but I’ve always been a fan of instant gratification. That’s why I’ve rounded up my favorite body-slimming pieces. We all know about Spanx, as in the Oprah-approved undies, but now we’re moving beyond undergarments to actual clothing. Take a look at these weight-loss short cuts to help boost morale — and maybe your rear!

Booty Boost: Push-Up Legging: Slim, $19, ShapeFX.com
Whether you like it or not, leggings are here to stay. So while they’re here, I say we put them to work. Perking up my backside? Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about.

Tummy Tuck: Boyfriend Tank, $62, YummieTummie.com
This isn’t just any old tank. A firm control panel shapes the mid-section from bust to waistline, which can take off inches — instantly! Yes, I’m still hitting the ab machine, but I can’t help but think it could use a lesson in efficiency from Yummie Tummie.

Complete Compressor: Bod-a-Bing! Skirt, $68, Spanx.com
We’re talking stomach, butt, and thighs with this one. Smooth everything out with a pencil skirt from the same company that made those famous undies. Yep, they make apparel too!

What do you think? Will you try body-shaping clothes?
