Your love-your-changing-proportions guide.
Adolescence sends your emotions sky-high and your body morphing in and out of different shapes and sizes. Not exactly the easiest time to try and keep posi about your shapely new self. You must remember you're not the only one with wonky body parts and warpy growth spurts. Even the class hottie has her own woes -- her designer jeans are just good at hiding them. Your booty will catch up to your newly long legs, but until then, don't banish yourself to your bedroom. It's hard (at ANY age) to keep your chin up about your figure, but it's possible to rock your "imperfections" until you see them for what they are: the things that make you perfect.
Balanced Beauty
A few extra ounces during "that time of the month" may make you want to fast for days, but that will only make you sick and feel gross when you do finally decide to feed yourself. Instead, eat healthy. Solid meals all day will give you extra energy and will let you feel free to dig into those uber-comforting milk and cookies at the end of the night.
Pump Up the Volume
Not only will exercise quell your "jiggly" worries, it will also get your blood pumping and make you feel better naturally. But don't overdo it -- too much of anything can be a bad thing and exhaust you. Instead, think about things you do regularly that actually can qualify as exercise. Consider how many laps you do around the mall on any given day!
Dress to Impress
The aggravation you feel from having to buy a size larger pants stings mightily -- but it's temporary. The compliments you'll get from working your well-dressed stuff in some made-for-you pants lasts all day. Dress to fit your size and help flatter your figure. One you're strutting it in a fierce outfit, you'll start to feel amazing -- and all the jaws dropping won't hurt either!
