To creative the illusion of an hourglass figure opt for a suit with an all over pattern.  Prints create curves and bright colors draw the attention to the swimsuit rather then the body. 

If you are not comforable wearing a bikini an ideal alternative is a tankini because it is not too revealing.  Other option include picking a suit with a keyhole which is effective at drawing the attention away or a low cut style will draw the eye to the decolletage instead of the the mid-section.

Eat an apple before lunch.  Researched found that people who did consumed nearly 190 fewer calories at the meal then those who consumed 125 calories in the form of juice or applesauce.  A whole apple feels like more.  It has more fiber and more nutrients and keeps you full longer.
