HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | GIRL TALK

My body changed and now my fave swimsuit doesnt fit!


 
Last year, I had this really great tankini. It fit fantastically and was even a li’l bit snug. This year, I tried it on to make sure it fit…and it didn’t! It was huge on me, but I didn’t lose any weight and I haven’t grown at all. My mom said my body changed. What is that supposed to mean?

 

Your mom is totally right on this one, babe. As you go through puberty, your body experiences changes that aren’t reflected by a scale. The way your hormone levels fluctuate can affect the way your body carries weight. When you were younger, for example, most of your flab might have fallen around your belly. As you mature, your height could stay the same and your weight could stay the same, but your breasts might be larger or your bum might be curvier.

 

It’s totally natural and normal, babe, and while it totally stinks that your fave swimsuit doesn’t fit anymore, you should look on the bright side: Your bod is growing just the way it’s supposed to…and there’s probably a shopping trip in your future, too!

How can something "fit fantastically" and "be a li'l bit snug" at the same time?

MOD MOD MOD!
WHAT TEENAGE SWIMWEAR STORES ARE THERE?




Hey girlie,

Stores like Forever 21 and H&M have some swimsuit selections, and stores like Target also have cute finds.  Also, check surf stores at your local mall that may sell swimwear from brands like Roxy or Billabong!  Good luck Smile

Hey there MOD!!!!
Hope you're having a great night Smile
I am SO flat chested and short,whats a cute bikini that will help me to not look like a 10 year old boy? (like make me boobs look bigger LOL)
THANKS!




Hey girlie,

No sweat! Try a bathing suit with ruffles or polka dots to give the illusion of a fuller chest. Try bathing suits that tie around the neck ("halter") as well, whether in a bikini or tankini style. Avoid barely-there triangle tops, but remember that color can help ya too. Don't forget to try them on before you buy!

Hey girls if you want a cute, cheap new swimsuit try Lime Ricki! They're modest, affordable, and have suits to fit every body shape. I just got one a week or two ago and wore it Saturday. I love it!!!!
And about this article, I'm the exact opposite! I've grown almost 4 inches and gained over 10 pounds since school started and all my clothes still fit! I'm not complaining, though!!! (:

MOD MOD:
How often do u need 2 shave?




Ever girl is a bit different. Usually about 1-2 times a week, or right before you are going somewhere special.

MODMODMODMOD! hOW LONG DOES A FIRST PERIOD LAST BCUZ IM GOING ON VACATION SUNDAY AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SWIM. pLEASE HELP!




Hey girlie. Every girls period is lasts a different amount of days. Typically, it's between 3 and 7 days. You can swim when you're own your period though- just use a tampon.

MOD MOD MOD:
I have tan skin and dark brown thick hair. The weather is getting warmer and I want to wear shorts and skirts. I have hairy legs and want to shave. But, I'm scared if I shave, I'm gonna have stubby hairs on my legs and it might look weird. Should I shave???




Hey girlie. Every girl has this problem. That's why you have to keep  shaving. If you think you're ready, talk to your mom so you guys can set a start date.

MOD MOD MOD-ok, everytime i just started jogging. I went jogging today, and i got a bunch of cramps and it made my stomach hurt. i ate dinner a half and hour before i went jogging. could that be it? if not, than what is causing the cramps?




Hey girlie. That's prob what it was. If you eat a little before you go run, then it can cause you to cramp up.

this doesn't make much sense to me...

hi visit my profile. i give advice too! =p

MOD:
I just asked out guy I've liked for a while and he said no. I see him at the gym a lot but how do I deal with the awkwardness between us at the gym?




Hey girlie. Just try to avoid him. It's not necessary to chat it up with him at the gym. When you run into him, say hi but that's all. Just continue on with your workout and focus on yourself.

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
