"I&amp;#039;m on the heavier side and all my friends are a lot smaller than me. I hate going shopping with them because they can fit into clothes that are really cute on them, but I know would look horrible on me. They don&amp;#039;t ever say anything or even really seem to notice, but it just makes me feel insecure. How can I let them know how I feel? First off, every girl has things about her body that she is insecure about. It can be really hard if you feel like you are a little bit bigger than your friends; but, I can guarantee you, that they probably envy your curves. We all want what we cant have, so while you might be envious of your friends figure she might be envious of something you have, like curvy hips or beautiful hair.Of course some clothes will look better on them, but there are also certain styles that are made for your body type, so its important to dress for your body.  It seems like your friends aren&amp;#039;t the problem, but the whole idea of shopping is the problem. Shopping is a great way to bond with the girls, but it definitely makes us focus on our bodies and compare ourselves to others. Something that should be a fun outing with the girls can turn into an uncomfortable experience.  Luckily, there are so many other ways that you can hang out with your friends. Maybe explain to them that shopping isn&amp;#039;t you favorite thing to do, because it makes you focus on your body too much. Then offer up a different idea. You girls should do something that makes you feel great about your bodies AND lets you spend time together - a game of volleyball, yoga, community service, cooking, and a spa day all seem like fun.
