I know this girl, she is 20 now. Just three years ago she was with modelling agency, sweet, dewy eyed, slim and demure. Now, three years later, she is has a horse-like crude face, a large wide butt, legs like two columns and huge hands. I know a lot of girls who turned the same - while below 20, they were so pretty, afterwards they became so big... Is it because they were actually big all the time (and overate), and it did not show because they were growing and needed a lot of fuel, or is it because they were really fit, but then let themselves go?

when you're in school, you don't over eat like you may at home. You have classes to keep you busy and distracted, then you go to lunch and come home. When you get out of school, you change to a different schedule, and you may be constantly around food alot, or going for a fast food lunch for work.
But I have seen bigger girls become real skinny after school too...
I think it's just how we eat here. We choose and pick at some of the tasiest things, not he healthiest, then some people wonder why they're busting out of their clothes...
Hope this helped!

Its because teenagers metabolisms are about 3x faster than an adults, so if the "junk food" that they may have been eating was getting through them so quickly that they didnt store it as fat, once they hit 20 the metabolism slowed to that of a normal adult and everything they ate started being accounted for you could say lol.

I think teens have to eat a lot to grow. But then, after we have finished growing, we start gaining weight, and for girls we start getting curves. If you, as teenager, eat properly, you will grow normal and look fine. If you also eat properly as a grownup you'll also look fine. But if you eat too much as a teenager, sometimes you can't barely see it!

I think it has to do with exercise. An active lifestyle needs more calories and then when people slow down, they forget to slow down on their eating as well.
