Today, my dad suggested that as an alternative to buying me new school clothes that actually fit, I should just join the swim team, lose some weight, and wear my stuff from last year. FML

A better and more practical plan would be to buy clothes at least two sizes larger than you are right now, so you can eat your way into them. Bon apetit!

OP, either he's wrong, or very right. If you're overweight, work out so you'll feel and look better! If you've merely -grown- then your dad is just being plain mean. I went from a 0 to a 4 in about two years. Of course, I'm not fat. I just grew! So I'd understand if that's what happened for you.

Both disrespectful and cheap. I mean, at least suggest soccer or track! Cardio is the key here, you foolish father!!!

Swimming is highly dependent on cardio too. More so than most other sports, actually.

however in addition to losing fat through cardio workout on land, you also sweat more than in swimming which flushes much more excess fluid in your system. Therefore you lose more weight overall in cardio sports on land as opposed to swimming. However, swimming does build more muscle mass, but then again that just adds weight.

It doesn't add weight at all I used to be a little chubby then I joined the swim team and now I'm stronger than anyone in my class and faster

ORRRRR, instead of complaining about it on the site she could have gotten a job for the summer, done odd and end things for people living around her, seriously no matter what the situation something could have fixed the problem. It's not like she just woke up a week before school and none of her dang clothes fit... End. Of. Story.

Why the hell should your dad buy your clothes? Buy your own clothes and stop sponging off your parents you spoilt fat bitch

That was uncalled for!! Just because your parents didn't take care of you when you were a child, you shouldn't take it out on OP.

I buy back to school clothes simply because my tastes change. I don't ever really lose or gain weight. I just don't like my clothes from last year, lol.
