I feel self-consious when I wear a bikini?

Question

Okay, I feel really self-consious when I wear bikinis because I'm really skinny. I'm 15 years old, 5'6" and I weigh 110 pounds. None of my ribs show, it's just my legs and arms are skinny and my back bone sticks out a little when I bend down. I feel like one of those ugly anorexic girls. And before you jump to conclusions, I'm not anorexic. I eat a lot and I try to eat mostly carbs to gain weight, but it obviously doesn't work because mymetabolismm is very high. The reason I'm so concerned about it now is because I'm going to a pool party this Saturday and I don't want to feel ugly. Anyone have any tips or reasurrance you could give me? Thanks.

Answer 1

some people accually want to look like you! =D, but dont go shoving aton of food down ur throat *UNHEALTHYY!!!!!!!!!!!*, everyone dosnt like things about themselves. fat legs,  chubby,  and stuff like that. so pretty much be confident!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kno that everyone eles has flaws that they wanna change!!  

Answer 2

You're sitting here asking this, saying you're too skinny to be seen in a bathingsuit... well hun, THIN is IN. Imagine how the heavier girls feel. They really do get tormented just for being a different shape/size than other girls.

Just wear it! If you're rib cage isn't showing then you won't look anorexic.

Answer 3

I'ts all a matter of confidence.

people are always more judge mental of them selfs than others.

I'm 15 too and I used to have the same problem

but I have been learning to feel confident in myself.

I'm sure lots of people think your beautiful.

stop caring so much about what people think.

much love- joanna

Answer 4

well im a 6'2'' 15 year old guy and people say im anorexic cuz im only 130 pounds, and my ribs kinda stick out, so if you're self conscious, just compare yourself to me! :)

BTW, not anorexic, I just cant gain weight

Answer 5

110 pounds is a great weight for that height, about the same as my girlfriend (she just turned 16). Some girls would kill to be skinny like you... if your ribs don't show that's normal. everyone's spine shows when they bend over, that's supposed to happen :P

Answer 6

i'm sure it doesn't look that bad.

just ask a friend how you look and

tell her to be completely honest.

or just eat like a zillllion carbs!

or just eat a lot lot lot.

Answer 7

Answer 8

What I did was get some weights to tone up so i look nicely curvy in my bathing suit. Just working out with the weights and maybe even a yoga ball :D

Answer 9

Answer 10

It's ok to be thin, I also have been thin all of my life but I started to gain weight as I got older. When I was 15 I was pretty thin but I rode horses and that really toned my body, so maybe you could take up a sport or work out to build muscle, it may help you look less thin if you have some muscle tone.

About the party, that's a simple solution. You can wear a cute dress over your bikini or a sarong, some type of cover up. Also put on some good self tanner so you won't be pale, that helps your body look better no matter what your size is. If you're not pale though don't worry about that part.

You can wear a tankini if you really want to go in the water, or a cute suit like this - http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce...

Answer 11

you dont sound too skinny dont worry

if your not annorexic you have nothing to worry about

if your self concious wear a cute pair of shorts over your bikini and a shirt unbuttoned

Answer 12

my sister is 15,  5' 7" and wears a 00. if you havent noticed, girls are dying to be as skinny as you. it's not your fault that you are naturally skinny and you should embrace it. It is something you're going to have to live with, so why not love yourself instead of feeling self-concious. I'm pretty sure you are beautiful the way you are!

Answer 13

dont wear a bikini wear a tankini so it covers more of your back and some boy shorts or a regular bikini bottom. Dont worry! Just eat alot at the party and people will see that your not sickly. Good luck!

Answer 14

Girl you're not anorexic!!! Be happy the way you look!! Just have funn at the party and don't even think about that!!
