I am a little heavier then your normal 17 year old about 200 pounds. my mother thinks its aweful and really wants me to lose wieght so whenever we go swimming or anything i always have to wear a girls 1 piece bathing suit. She says it makes me look less fat and better. I think it sucks and is soooo embarrising. heres a picure of the type of bathing suit i have to wear. This isnt the one i wear just the same type.

Does this really make you looks skinnier?

Sorry that your mom is so rough on you. Could be one of the reason for you weight, is that you mom is rude instead of supportive. Love yourself the way you are and try not to let your mom get you down.

Your mom is concerned about you and your health. I am sure the bathing suite would make you look thinner but not by much.
I don't see anything wrong with the picture of the one you show. I don't understand what would you like to wear.

I think it depends on the design. If there's horizontal lines, no it doesn't look slimming, but if they're vertical they seem to work better. Also, black is a very slimming colour, I'm told.
I'm heavier too, and I usually wear a tankini top (it's just like a stretchy tank top, goes down to my belly button) and guy's bathing suit bottoms (They're long, comfy, and that way people don't see my thighs!)

I hope you are kidding. Your mom is nuts to make you wear a girl's swim suit. I would stay out of the pool if I were you. Your mother should not have that much control over you.

Look if you are chubby then you should wear a modest swimsuit... heck, if you are 17 you should wear a modest swimsuit anyway...... it looks more appropriate... and if you have a bit of a chubby tummy it doesn't look pretty or sexy hanging out of a 2 piece.... be healthy and be happy if you want to look sexy... then allow yourself to FEEL beautiful and it wont matter what kind of suit you have on... PS some boys prefer a one piece suit... I swear!

get a suit that is one piece but not a solid color.... but hey if you feel good in a two piece you should wear it.
