I put this in the support category because it's really stressing me out :(

I'm wondering if the "weight" I think I've gained is just my child body turning into an adult one? I am 18 years old, and all my life I've had a pretty straight up and down body shape... but lately it seems that hips and a butt have just popped out of no where!

I thought that I had gained fat, but today I was looking at myself and it literally looks like my hips have just widened... my mother says that every girl fills out at some point, but I thought that was during puberty, not 6 years later! hahah

When did you guys get curves?

    Super Skinny girls don't have curves... athletic girls usually do (at least compared to stick figure girls).

    If you haven't gained fat, but your curves are starting to show, I would think you are starting to tone muscle.

    Everybody is different. I "filled out" in the 7th Grade and you would have thought I was done growing by the end of high school, but I shot-up another 2" sometime in my early 20s.

    If you've ever seen a female child you'll notice that their shape is quite similar to that of a rectangle. People aren't born curvy, women develop curves in order to make child birth easier to handle.

    You can't have no hips and push out a baby, that just doesn't happen.

    I never filled out. I stopped growing, height-wise, in 6th grade. I'm 5'5" and was 115 pounds. I'm now 129 from a more sedentary lifestyle now but I still look pretty stick-like. Always been an A cup. I'm almost 21, and I'm pretty certain I'm not growing anymore.

    I "filled out" mostly between 4th grade and high-school- I was really early, and trust me, being the 5'5'' girl with DDs in a ballet class full of 6th grade girls was very embarrassing.

    However... Most of my friends (who are about 18- 20) are filling out right now. I've gotten multiple phone calls about shirts fitting wrong, pants suddenly not fitting, or "unevenness"... and it's just normal. It's not "fat" in the sense of bad fat that needs to be lost, it's the sort of fat that all women need to maintain normal function and hormone levels.

    That's not to say that exercise and maintaining a healthy diet aren't important as well, but weight gain because you're filling out is normal and healthy. Also, if you recently started eating a healthier diet, that can cause your body to become curvier (as can the pill) .

    Don't stress yourself out :) And feel free to add me. As I said, I've got several friends going through this right now and I really don't mind talking to you if need :)

    Ugh...I went from a GG down to a DD with surgery and they are still popping out all over the place *bangs head against wall*

    I requested the doctor to take me down flat as a board (LOL) but he said that he would keep it in direct proportion with my body size...what a kick in the *kitten* that was smh. I am just about 200 lbs...and really short TOO BOOT!

    Same. I've been the same height (5'5"-5"6") since I was about 13. I was naturally 95lbs at 13, at fifteen I naturally got up to 106, then I started messing with my eating and have since been anywhere from 90 to 120, but have balanced out at 115ish).
    My body shape never really became womanly though. I'm still pretty straight up and down and have no boobs.

    I "filled out" in the 4th grade, and in the 6th grade I had DD's. Now they're over F(I actually don't know what size I am anymore). You don't want to "fill out", believe me! Special ordering your bras is a pain. I was even that size when I was thin!!!

    Sometime around 13-14, I started getting curvier all over. I was 5"7 in the 7th grade... And my freshman year of COLLEGE I shot up two more inches! So it's not unreasonable for you to be continuing to develop at your age.

    I agree with everyone but thought I'd point out that at your height it seems that 120lbs would be on the lower end of an ideal weight (dependent on your frame size and bone structure of course). I'd hazard a bet that your new curves have you looking strong, beautiful and fit! Great job!!

    I didn't fill out til 16-17 but I was highly athletic.. competitively figure skating & on the ice 8 hours a day all week long so I think I kept myself from filling out for quite some time.

    I definitely do want to fill out... guys don't really seem to like girls shaped like 8 year old boys...

    I think it would be more accurate to ask your female family members.

    Uh huh. You say you want to "fill out." The boys used to make flat chested jokes about me in 6th grade (I skipped grades so was years behind the others.) Now I'm an HH and am miserable.
