It has to do with everyone's way to metabolize.. By age 26 there's a chanse the skinny girls will slow down as far as metabolic rate. Also, the birth hormones have to do a lot with it, since during the gestation period the metabolism is in overdrive, and when that's over, it slows way down. Women go through so much bodily change it will give a man a heart condition if not death. There's another factor that will add to the 'fun', and it's a hormone called 'cortisol' which if released in excess packs aroung the waist, around the thighs, love handles, --- basically middle area.
Cortisol is released in excess if there's a lot of stress, which is undoubtedly very abundent in a mother's life, or a stay-at-home mom, since their job is like doubel shift, every day.
Let's say that the woman goes on a diet and loses most of the weight... then she continues with what she did before ... the anatomy of a fat cell will tell you that a fat cell that's starved, will assimilate more when it gets a turn again to 'feed' and will pack more for fear of extinction. Thus it's very hard for a woman to lose weight, adn keep it off.
The best thing she can do for herself when her metabolism is slow, is to build muscle, or grow muscle. Muscle melts the fat. Anyone can tell you that... Women in general are selfless, self sacrificial, therefore always looking for ways to accomodate others like husband, kids... etc... I am not saying that the skinny ones are selfish... they're just blessed. I am talking in general. There's little time for personal care, and that adds to the stress.
Costisol levels elevate with emotions... And women know all about emotions. If her heart gets broken the endocrine glans produce more cortisol, among other things... if her partner is abusive, again... if someone dies... again... if you want to keep a woamn looking good, loving her is the best medicine...
And there's more... but I am running out of time.

it's called puberty. girls sprout fatty deposits all over, some of which cause lots of attention and the need to buy little harnesses ... uh I mean bras...
When male to female transexuals take hormones to be more girly, they too put on fat. Women naturally have 15% more body fat than males, because some of the female hormones need fat to work properly. This is why when girls starve themselves, they can lose their periods or be infertile while they skinny.

Well why "girls" get "fat" is because PEOPLE may GAIN WEIGHT for different reasons; metabolism naturally slows down, start living a more sedentary lifesyles(lack of working out, sports, playing video games, watching tv, pretty much not seeing any sunlight unless to check the mail), or diet(fast food, sugary snacks, salty snacks, greasy snacks, cheesy snacks, tv dinners, candy)

For one thing, the body grows taller faster when we're kids, and the rest doesn't have time to "fill out" along the way. As we age, the body will naturally fill out. Doesn't mean anyone is FAT, but that could be the perception.

Umm...because their bodies are changing and adjusting most likely. As they get older they will thin out in the right places and the curves will stay where they belong; if they're lucky that is!
PS Girls aren't supposed to be "skinny" by nature. Society just wants us that way.

Some girls (and guys) put on weight during puberty because they are going to start growing and because of hormonal changes.
Plus it's not as 'cool' to run around and play when you are in middle school like it was in grade school.

In middle school, young girls are actually becoming young women. Their bodies are changing quickly and they will look a bit "fuller." But, have no fear---all of that will simmer down and find a happy medium. Don't worry. All is well.

have you ever heard the world "puberty". most girls get fat because they have that so called "special time" in their lives! which in this case they start to gain a few extra pounds. Or the get depressed. girls, when the get dumbed,or have something hard in there lives, they tend to eat, Like boys, when your mad or depressed, don't you want to go on your ps or xbox and just blow away some bad guys? we girls just go to the food storage!

Women naturally have more body fat and physically and emotionally mature earlier. Teen years are tough for girls and they pick up a little weight.
