I had an interesting conversation with my 18 year old recently. She always seemed fairly okay with her body image and it was only when she filled out she started to worry she was getting fat. Not so much now that she had gotten used to her new adult figure, but one thing she said stood out for me. She was always a very skinny child, which she managed to be okay with because her dimensions matched those that are supposed to be desirable for models. Of course when she filled out to normal adult dimensions, her hips, bottom and her bust grew, but she still has a small waist. A figure that many would class as very desirable, because it's shapely. Now she realises that having a model figure is actually not necessarily a healthy adult figure and unrealistic for the majority of the population. She just hates her skin now. You can't win!
