Method 1 of 3:

Choose the Right Shorts

1
Choose shorts that fit right. Look at the inseam when buying shorts. This is the measurement that goes from your crotch and then choose the length you desire. Common measurements are 3 inches, 4 inches and 5 inches. However, you might even go for 8 inches, with a pair of Bermuda shorts. Pick the length you're most comfortable with as it's up to you what think looks hot on you.
- If you like shorts, have a selection that includes white shorts, denim shorts, printed shorts and maybe one or two in bright colors of your choosing.
- Choose shorts with pockets that cover the back of your butt if you want robust shorts that cannot be seen through.
2
Pair your shorts with the right clothes and accessories.
- A cool casual look comes from pairing shorts with t-shirts and sneakers. Or, wear printed shorts with a solid top and a pair of neat sandals.
- For an edgy look, pair the shorts with a leather or pleather jacket over a nice t-shirt.
- For fun, pair the shorts with duck boots and thick socks (winter) or thin socks (summer).
- Dress up your shorts with a Tuxedo blazer, tank and heels.
- For a party, wear shorts with a flowing blouse and sparkling shoes.

Eating

1
Watch what you drink. Instead of having an energy drink, try coconut water! It has the same kick as an energy drink, but this has natural sugars. You could also add your favorite fruit juice to seltzer, which is basically the same as an "Izze". Instead of coffee from Starbucks, try a chocolate or strawberry smoothie. Keep yourself hydrated daily.
2
Eat healthy. Drink more water! Replace soda with water and you'll feel way better and more hydrated! Eat more satisfying meals! Try these tips:
- At breakfast: An Apple wrap and yogurt dip. (Look at tips on how to make one).
- At lunch: A grilled chicken Parmesan sandwich.
- At dinner: Spaghetti with turkey meatballs.
- For snacks:
  - Mid morning: Popcorn fun mix (Look at tips on how to make it).
  - Afternoon: Cracker sliders (Look at tips on how to make some).
  - After Dinner: Twisted s'more (Look at tips on how to make one).

Watch what you eat when you eat out. Sometimes, when you eat out, you can go a little overboard on food. Try these tips to avoid gaining a few pounds at one dinner:
- At Panera Bread- Instead of a Baked Potato Soup in a Bread Bowl, get a Chicken Noodle Soup and 1/2 Smokehouse Turkey Panini.
- At Olive Garden- Instead of a Five Cheese Ziti al Forno, get a Cheese Ravioli with Marinara Sauce.
- At Chipotle- Instead of a Grilled Steak Burrito, get a Grilled Steak Burrito Bowl with black beans, salsa, guacamole, cheese and rice.
- At Applebee's- Instead of a Cowboy Burger topped with BBQ sauce, bacon, cheese, onion strings, and fries, get a regular Cheeseburger and a side Caesar Salad.

It is not a problem. You should not be insecure about your body and the way you look. All you have to do is look and feel your best.
