I'm 13 and I weigh 135. I have always had large legs and a big butt. I've tried all kinds of sports to help but I don't know what to do to get slimmer. Please Help

First off, relax. You have normal legs. The models you see in magazines and poster are the freaks. Even so, they probably don't really have legs that thin, they've been air-brushed to make them look thinner.

It's incredibly hard to judge your own legs, because the angle you are at will always make them look short and fat. I'm nearly 5'11", I KNOW I have long legs, but when I look at them, they look short and fat to me. It's only in group photos that I can see them compared to other people and realise they are normal shaped.

If you were fat all over, then you'd probably have fat legs as well. If the only bit of you that's fat is your legs and bum (both of which are supposed to have a decent size), then it's almost certain that you are worrying over something minor.

Regular exercise is never any harm, and eating less junk food and more veg is good too, but really, I think you can stop worrying.
