Thick waist - long winded question?!


Question:

Thick waist - long winded question?

Hi. I am a 13 yr old girl, 5'2 and 130 pounds. My waist is 34 or 35 inches around but I am active with a flat muscular stomach. I have a wide back and big bones, which might explain why my waist is so HUGE, but is it still unhealthy? According to some formula one TV the waist shouldn't be more than half your height - 31 inches! My stomach isn't that small even if it's sucked in! Is it okay to have a thick tummy if it is mostly muscle and not fat?
Most people on here say they have like a 30 inch waist! It's a bit embarassing. No matter what there is also a bit of fat on my lower stomach and underarms. Is there any way to get rid of it? Thanks...


Answers:

Your BMI is more important than the measurements or weight. You are just hitting puberty, and your body will change and be different at different times - DON'T compare yourself to other girls at school, or especially not on tv or in magazines.
Talk to your mom.
