Teenage girls only?
Answer:
Most, if not all, girls go through this. For me, it started when I was about 13 and ended in the past year or so (I'm 21 now). While this might not be what you want to hear, it's what I wish I'd known at your age: Your body is the only one you'll ever get and if you love it, you'll be gorgeous. Beauty comes from the inside, so when you tell yourself you're beautiful, you'll exude beauty.
How I feel beautiful: I buy clothes that flatter the parts of my body that I love and don't emphasize those parts that I like less. (An empire waist, which is a seam just under the bust, is great at hiding that pudge!) I try to put on a nice piece of jewelry each day. I go to a hairdresser who knows how to cut my natural curls so they look good. Strange as it may sound, I feel more beautiful now as a size 12 than I did as a size 2. It's all about perspective.
i no u said girls only, but i love answering in this section.
if other people notice the pudge most boyz will think it's sexy.
gurl u are young and don't have much to worry about kuz i'll go away. I haven't been through it but my neighbor has but she looks great and I'm sure u do to. It is juss a phase that most gurls go through but ur beautiful and don't ever think other wise. Just know that and u will be okay.
Gilrls as part of their biological needs, need more fat so that they can develop. This does not mean you should weigh 200 pounds but that you should have a 15%-23% body fat percentage. Dont worry time will fix all.
yeah i remember when i was 12. i was so skinny ( oh what the hell. i'm still skinny), and i grew tall so quickly. the kids at school made fun of me and called me anorexia ***** and stuff like that. and when i was 14, i weighed about the same as you, but i was five feet taller than you. they were getting jealous and started to go on diets and hate me even more.
girls always have this kind of problem. it's not just a phase. even a 25 yr old girls still go on diets and make sure they still look good. if you keep complaining about yourself, you'll never be happy. just try to accept yourself and you'll feel much better.
Well I used to fell like you. But really as tall as you are you shouldn't be that small. The average is about 110 lbs. but I don't want you to feel that way. What you should do when you feel like this is to do something else to do to take your mind off of your weight. Like: writing songs or poems, Drawing, or even reading. That way you'll feel good about writing the best song your friends ever heard or reading the last page of that 300 page book. And not worrying about if you look fat. If none of these things sounds interesting just talk to someone you trust that won't judge you and they can give you pointers.
Girl if you dont stop im going to scream you shouldnt be doing yourself like that i have a pudge too but there is a reason im pregnant but before that i only weighted 100 pounds and i had a fat stomach dont worry u are in good shape dont get to carried away with the not eating it will only make things worst trust i know love you and take care.
If you exercise and eat healthy and you have that pudge go away maybe its baby fat I am not sure . When my niece was little and she still is she would gain a little weight normal weight and then stretch you stop growing around 16 or 17 or 18 and fully develop at 20 or 21. but if you really exercise and and do everything in your power and the pudge won't go away I mean this is only if you been working out for years talk to your mom or someone mature and close and educated about this. Please talk to someone about it first because you are still growing so it will go away. You will stretch.
Sorry, im a teenage guy xD. but i know many girls that go through that phase. My sister is 13 and going through it, and a friend at school is going through it also.
Im sure its just a phase, don't do anything drastic about it :).
The girl at my school thinks she has "rolls of fat", but she knows she doesnt. And i think she looks just fine, and i'm sure you look fine also :).
Try not to worry about it too much =).
Remember, It shouldn't be just how skinny you look, but Healthy. and Very skinny isn't too healthy :).
Wow i spent a long time on this question O_o. i have to study chemistry. I will check up on this question later :). Hope my answer helps.
I am not a girl , but may I please say this , you are 14 you should be enjoying life , the pudge is most likely baby fat ,and it will go away as you grow ..just enjoy being 14 OK. do not obsess yourself with things such as this ..NOW go enjoy being 14 ,and alive ..you are too young (I know you hate to hear that) to be trying crash diets ,you will destroy your digestive system.. as you are still growing .. you be happy with yourself , and do not worry about how others see you ..
YOU ARE NOT FAT ! but keep up with the healthy diet and exersice, thats good 4 ya
I was a teen myself not too long ago but since no one has answered I felt a strong need to answer your cry.
All bodies are different. A body is like a car, computer, book, pen, etc. We all generally look the same and have the same parts that perform the same functions but our chemical make up and genetic coding is so different from anyone else that all you are really doing is causing yourself more stress (which can lead to weight gain) and gray hairs in the first place.
If you say that you are 5'1'' and weight only 103 pounds I wouldn't worry. If you are seeing those itty bitty things that we all have and call love handles than don't worry, once you get older you will discover what they are used for; that is if you haven't already.
You can't get down on yourself like this cause you look at other girls and then look at yourself. You need to look at yourself and see inside, see yourself and see what makes you happy!
hey that pudge is considered to be called curves, every man loves curves, no man loves to feel skin and bones. trust me it's not a stage i'm 20 years old and I'm still self concious, but I think the more you age the better you'll feel about yourself, just remember to eat fruit and drink water, water helps your skin stay moisturized and fruit helps stabilze all the toxins you put in your body during the day. also remember that muscle weighs more than fat, so start toning and forget about how much you weigh but remember how much bmi you are at (body mass index)
It's okay... it's normal, and it's part of getting a "womanly figure". It doesn't mean you're fat or different, because all healthy ladies/girls/women have a little "pudge". If you want to talk to me about that or any other questions that you may have, you can email me at miz_ndpendent25@yahoo.com and I will help you with any questions at all. ~ Sierra
Your age is sort of where girls start to worry about how they look. I know I did! I'm 16 and still worry about all the little places that I think I'm getting chunky. I know it's hard, but don't worry about it. You sound like you are at a perfect weight- actually you're small! So don't worry about it. The truth is, boys don't like the real skinny girls because there's nothing to them. Everyone's going to have a little bit of a pudge! So sweetie don't worry about dieting. It can be dangerous. Good luck!
It is a phase and it isn't. Most teenage girls go through this self consious stage as a part of puberty. Have you tried toning? I don't think you are fat if its just a puge, get some restaint equiptment at a gym and use them to tone out your body. The fat will turn in to muscle.
It is common to feel the way you do. Once you learn to be comfortable in your body then you shouldn't have any problems. It is natural and all girls go through it at some point in time. It is just part of the human way to live up to the certain standard as to how one should look. Not everyone is going to be stick skinny. Or never put on weight or have flawless skin, on ungresy hair.
Remember that there is awlays some one in a worse state, try to be greatful that you aren't in a condition that is bad like that. If you are dieting, make sure they are consistant. Eat healthy and exercise at the same time. Plain not eating can cause you to put on more weight belive it or not. You need to eat in order to lose weight.
Your fourteen it makes sense kids your age have that and you dont really get rid of it till you are older. It probably wont go away till you are about 21 anyway. They call it baby fat.
im 14 to and i am majorly self concious!! i always thought if i only looked as skinny as that girl or if my thighs were as small as that person i might look better but then i realized im who i am and i look the way i look and i could try to look like that girl but i wasnt being me and girl i no it is hard but remember your who you are thats enough!
i'm 14 too and i'm not the skinniest. you're skinny, don't worry. "you are your own worst critic" every girl our age have major self esteem issues. do stuff that make you feel pretty, and learn to love every feature you have. i shouldnt be talking becuase i am very self concious. but i wish i wasn't like you too.
well i am 17 and i am fat but i think that it is just a phase a\i use to think that boys wouldn't like me cause i am fat but they still talked to me and my mom is fat and my dad has been with her for 25 years i think it is normal in the time we are in being that there is so much stuff in the food that is really makes us bigger and i stopped thinking about it just cause bays still talked to me and now i am fine with it i am 17 and i have learned to love my body cause no one else will love you if you don't love yourself i hope i have helped
you weigh a 103 pounds.You are not fat and do not worry about a little pudge.Think positive.
girl u are fine dont woory about it i weight 110 and i aint fat
Trust me you are not fat. I have the exact same problem as you. I'm 4'11 and 95 lbs. and in my mind's eye I look 120. Don't go on crash diets please. They just make you so hungry that you eat everything in sight. Sometimes right before you go through a growth spurt, you gain a lot of extra weight but just lose it once you are taller. Just stay healthy by eating good food and exercising a lot. Please don't be anorexic or bulimic. I know you won't but my friend is bulimic and she regrets it so much. Best wishes to you and good luck.
thts really ok ive always been skinny and i get made fun of cause i literally look anerexic im 14 5'7" and weigh 98lbs, consider yourself lucky!
I've felt that way before and I'm pretty sure almost every single teenage girl has felt that way at some point in her life, even with the perfect body. I have a litttle pudge too, but i found clothes that make if look flat and a way to make it look flat in a swimsuit. Don't worry though, for most teenagers its just a phase.
first let me just say crash diets r never the answer.. they actually make u gain weight cause when u dont eat for a long time then when u do eat something ur body turns it into fat cause it doesnt know when it will get fed again... and i use to think i was fat (i'm 13 and dont know how tall and 125lbs.) but then i just stopped trying to figure out what others thought of me and stopped comparing myself to other girls. i used to wear baggy clothes but now i wear more form-fitting and i think i look good.. u must realize that U R BEAUTIFUL THE WAY U R!!! and definitely dont compare urself to models, movie stars, ect. cause they dont even look that good. u'll be fine and dont worry about "pudge". i'm sure every1 else is worrying about their own "pudge" so dont worry.. like i said. dont worry about what others think about u.. as long as u r beautiful in ur own eyes that is all that matters... stay healthy and strong.. good luck and God bless

Hon, I've got a pudge that just won't go away either! Alls you can to is your best when it comes to diet and exercise! That's all! I'm to the point of just accepting that I just might always have that damn thing! Maybe it's a little buffer between your solar plexus and the whole stupid-crazy-mixed-up-scary world!
girl im 5'4'' and 103 and guys are afraid to break me if we do anything it drives me crazy. YOU ARE NOT FAT it is unhealthy for you to diet when you weigh 103 and 5'1'' you are very healthy and if anyone says different they must be smoking some really strong crack
I have a very little pudge... i'm 5 feet and 107 ( and i have alotta ***) My boyfriend loves my pudge. Seriously. You are 14 years old... you will grow out of it... i use to be chubby in middle school and in highschool i got thinner. Believe me... boys will be all over you in high school don't worry about your pudge...
I LOVE MY FAT PUDGE , YOU SHOULD LOVE YOUR PUDGE TOO!!
well i feel fat all the time. i know what the pudge feels like. and its not a bad thing, my boy friend loves mine. he sayss its adorable. and girl 103 pounds is awsome, i wish i weighed that much!
You might not be happy with your body, but there's always someone who needs a little more help than you do. You said you look pregnant? How about this --> I AM pregnant, with twins. See? It's not so bad.
