Imi asks :
I've never been 'bigger' before! My family is naturally stick thin, growing up I was always slim and my mum and big sister are both size 8, my dad is also very "athletic" in his build, so why I am I suddenly big, I was a size 8 with A cups!! I grew to a size 10 with C cups and now I can't even get a size 10 past my thighs? My mum keeps saying she's shrinking things but I know she isn't because half the things are new!! I know it can be good to have big boobs but I don't want to be the first in a big family to be chunky, I want to lose weight but I don't want people to think i'm attention seeking!!

You can’t really do much about your breast development, breasts do tend to get bigger if you put on weight, but not massively, it may be that you are just developing more there than your female family members. A size ten is still well below the national average, so don’t worry too much, as long you are a healthy BMI then you are ok if you put on a few pounds. Talk to your doctor who could come up with a healthy eating plan that you can stuck to if you really want to get back down to your original size. Don’t try any crash diets!

You are not attention seeking, you are simply looking after yourself, there is a difference. Look at your exercise and your food intake, have your activity levels drooped and your eating increased? If so, all you need to do is be a bit more active and reduce your portion sizes a little. This weight gain is not dramatic, so losing it again shouldn’t take long.
