How to Make Slim in GIMP
If you want to digitally slim down, you can use the free graphics design program GIMP to do so. GIMP has a slimming tool named IWarp, which will let you move edges and shrink mass, ideal for taking in those thighs and minimizing the appearance of that stomach. Although IWarp does not replace diet and exercise in real life, your online friends will never know the difference: GIMP's slim tool provides realistic results.

Click on the "Deform Mode" of "Move." You can use this function to re-position the perimeter of your body parts such as the outside of your arms or thighs. Double-click on the preview just off to the side of the body part you want to move, and then drag your cursor inward. Adjust the deform radius and amount, increasing the settings if your tool is not powerful enough and decreasing the settings if the tool is too far-reaching. Click "Reset" to return to the original image's properties if dissatisfied.

Tips & Warnings
If you make a few adjustments in the IWarp dialog that you know you want to keep, you may want to go ahead and click "OK" so the changes will be implemented. You can then re-open the IWarp tool and continue on. This will help you not lose all of your adjustments in the event one shrink or move action is undesirable.
Remember to save your slimmed-down file using a unique file-name as to not replace the original photo.
