Overweight & Stretchmarks!?! Going to the Beach, What to Wear?

[Anonymous]

I'm 5'3 1/2 inches and I weight..132 pounds(I weighed myself this morning).And I unfortunately have small boobs, I'm a B cup. I have light stretch marks on my hips and thighs from puberty I guess.Ok, on the weekend I'm supposed to go shopping for spring break,my best friends and I are going to Miami,I should obviously weight less(Like 30 lbs less),but I can't lose 30 lbs in less than 30 days,plus I'm going shopping this weekend. My friends have flawless skin and they don't have stretch marks but I do,so I'm embarrassed about that.I know due to my size I'm limited to very little options,can someone help me?

Should I just wear a t-shirt(With a bra underneath lol) and shorts?

I'm 16 btw!

Okay, you need a reality check! 132 lbs is not overweight, especially for 16! I'm your height exactly, your age, and I weigh thirty pounds more, yet my doctor still tells me I'm healthy as a horse. As well, stretch marks are a natural thing for a girl no need to be ashamed, and there's no such thing as small boobs. Your breasts are the right size for your body, so stop thinking that your breast size is a bad thing.

If you don't want to show your stretch marks, I say find a nice pair of shorts, maybe mid-calf in length(Tight or loose). As for tops, don't be afraid to flaunt your chest(unless you're conservative by nature) so wear a comfy tank top with a nice bra. Be true to yourself, be confident, and good things will happen. There's no need to hide your beauty, be proud of it!

She's not overweight but your BMI says you are...

I'm also tired of people relying on their BMI to determine health. I rarely get sick, I have a strong immune system,and I look pretty good. Whether I'm overweight or not doens't matter. What's wrong with being overweight? I like having meat on my bones rather than being able to see my bones through my skin. It's good that I am rather heavy because my bones will be able to support my weight when I'm 50 where as skinny girls will have osteoperosis because their bones have never carried any weight.

WHAT IS IT WITH PEEPS WHO ARE 16 SAYIN THEYRE 25-29?

[poulette12]

You're not overweight. Your BMI is 23 which means it's healthy. A B cup is fine, it's not small and luckily for you they will sag less when you get older. By the way, you would be underweight if you weighed 30 lbs less. The stretch marks won't disappear but they will become lighter with time. If you want to take care of your skin, use a moisturizing cream daily, it will always make it look better. You can still wear a cute outfit. Do some research online. Just remember that you are a healthy weight and that some guys do like girls with some meat on them. Also, acting confident is very attractive. And maybe work out a little if you want to.

Im not gonna ask about the 25-29 thing and u say you’re 16, but just run a few miles a week to shave off 5 pounds. Then wear a bikini.

I've heard coconut oil helps with stretch marks. You might want to do a web search on the subject.

Good luck,
