Ht. 5'1, Wt. 148 - hey everyone well today i went shopping with a friend and i was trying lots of clothes on, i tried this cute pink top on and some jeans but when i tried them on the top was a little short and you could see my stomach poking out a little then i put the jeans on in my regular siz and i was so shocked coz they couldnt fastern, but i decided i wanted 2 try them on so i just held my breath and sucked my belly in and they did up. Then i went out of the changing room to show my friend and she said the top looked a little tight and then i saw her looking at my belly coz it was hanging over the waistband of my pants and she said is that ur regular size and i said no coz i thought i must have picked up the size smaller than my regular size, my friend said get the pants anyway coz they looked good and i did like the style so i got them but when i went out of the store i checked the size and it was my regular size! now when i got home and put on the pants i walked into a room and my dad came ofer and pinched my belly and said whats this then pulling at my flab, then i was in the other room watching tv and my mom sat down by me and pated my stomach which was hangign out and said SOMEONE HAS GOT A LITTLE TUBBY! and then said YOU HAVE PACKED ON THE POUNDS MEGAN! i was so shocked coz i didnt realise i had gained weight. then i was on the phone 2 a friend and she said the friend i was shopping with had told her i lookd so fat and was getting a pot belly what is a pot belly? she also said i needed 3 sizes bigger in my jeans. what do i do help pleze what do u think! x x xx luv meg

Wow, Megan that's some story---I know how you feel when I started gaining weight it hit me like a rock wall! Just start eating some healthy foods and do some extercise. (It is so cool you and I have the same name!)

IM SORRY DUDE....PARENTS JUST DONT UNDERSTAND SOMTIMES AND THEY SAY STUPID THINGS WITHOUT REALIZING IT...DONT WORRY JUST DO YOUR OWN THINGS...AND ABOUT YOUR "FRIEND" IT SEEMS TO ME SHE SHOULD BE WAY MORE SUPPORTIVE OF YOU REGAURLESS OF YOUR WEIGHT. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT SHE WAS ONLY TRYING TO HELP BUT SHE SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU AT THE STORE INSTEAD OF WAITNG. BUT HERE IS A GOOD IDEA...KEEP THE PANTS YOU BOUGHT..DIET HARD AND STICK TO IT....IN A FEW WEEKS YOU CAN TRY THEM BACK ON AND THEY PROBABLY WILL FIT OR EVEN BE TO BIG! THAT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD!! DONT SWEAT IT! GOOD LUCK! LATER, EM
