Thanks for the follow chickie!

@CapeTownGirl, thank you. Today I worked out for an hour, and I'm going to do that everyday! I have two weeks until I  have to wear a bathing suit! Do you think my body could be ready by then? My sister tells me to suck my belly in. Even when I'm talking to her friends, she says, "Suck your Belly in! We're not a fat family!" I really want it to stop.

Bathing suits... My arch enemy!! :) I'm sure your mom would not have bought the bikini if she did not think it fit you well. My 9 year old has a good body but is sensitive about her middel showing in a bikini, so she wears a strappy top over it. Maybe that will help? Personally I like that look! Wish I could wear a bikini, but I've never been built for one... Just also remember that, though you may feel awkward (can't spell check on my phone!) right now, you are still growing and in a year from now you may have assets that will turn other girls green with envy! Do you do sports or dance? I tap danced for two years and it was amazing how toned my body got. I am now soft again... Sad face. Hugs!!!

@CapeTownGirl, I don't think I'm overweight. I only weigh 130 pounds. I don't know if that is a lot for an 11 year old girl, but I don't know why people call me fat. I'm just scared for my camp when I go to New York, my Mom bought me a new bathing suit, except its a bikini. I'm afraid people will make fun of me again. :( what do I do?

Hey! Tx for the follow! Just a note: I've been 'fuller figured' my whole life and yes, it sucks. But just maybe u might have something that will make them remember u for more than yr weight! Like being a great writer? (In my case it was my friendly personality.) Don't go sit in a corner, girl... Build on your strengths!!! Cape town hugs, CTG

You are beautiful compared to me. I got bullied a lot in school and still do. But I stand up to them because everyone is perfect in their own way :)
