My ever changing figure is causing me stress...?!
Question: I'm 13 years old...I feel I have exploded since I started my period...I try not too worry about it but when I am surrounded by twig girls and models!
My shoulders are huge, my waist is odd, my lower half is disproportionately HUGE!!!
I AM ONLY THIRTEEN AND I HAVE SADDLEBAGS! This is so unfair as I exercise and eat pretty healthy but I just keep putting on muscle and they end up even huger. I think big thighs and butt run in the family!!
I am 5'6 and its weird cos its normally tall and thin! But I'm tall and broad!!! The others in my class look 29-19-28 but my explosive body is 36-26-37 (and 38 around the saddlebaggers!)
Tops which I could wear easily a year ago are dangerously low cut on my boobs and I end up looking like a tart, so i cant wear them!!
Any clothing tips? I'm a UK size 10, US size 4-6. Also, any confidence tips...it feels weird being friends with people who are so thin their thighs are thinner than their calves!!
xx
thanks

You're going through a lot of changes now, and it won't be long before your friends do too; you're just a little earlier than they are. You're going to have to get new clothes a little more frequently, now, until your body finally settles down. As far as confidence tips, your figure sounds fine to me, and although you may get teased (they're just jealous) it sounds like you're on your way to becoming a very healthy, good-looking young lady. Saddlebags? What a terrible name for something that can be very sexy (check out some of the famous paintings by the old masters, or better yet, by more recent fantasy artists such as Frazetta). I'll bet you have a lot going for you, both physically and in personality.
Did you ever think maybe your just way to critical of yourself... I know its hard when your that age, but your still growing and going through body changes. You really shouldnt compare yourself to others. You are you, and you have to love who you are.
And besides that to me size 4-6 is not big, I think your just fine.
Your measurements sound lovely! I know you're only 13, but in the years to come, you will smoothe out. Curves are beautiful! I think you're fine right now! Just keep eating healthy to avoid any health problems! Most teen girls go through this....
You sound perfectly normal! It's normal at 13 to feel like youare in an alien body. You are being very critical of yourself. Dont camare yourself with other girls...it's not fair to you and it will drive you mad!
