I'm Em.
I'm a 20 year old English/History student living in Sydney.
I dig art, music and books.
I'll take questions on relationships, friendships, high school, uni, or whatever else.
I try to give the best advice I can, usually drawing on my own personal experience. But I'm not perfect, and sometimes when I look back on some of my advice it's far from it (especially when I was 15 and writing LiKe THiS). It's just advice, though. It's not an answer or a solution, it's simply a potentially helpful perspective. And that's all I can offer you.

Here's my info.
I am 14,5'6", about 115 pounds. As you will probably say, I'm not fat. And I know that. I'm actually on the skinny side.
My goal is to BE skinny. Especially in the leg area. That's basically the only body part that I'm not happy with. My thighs and calves. They're definitely not fat, but I want them to be skinny.
I want to thin out my legs without gaining too much muscle. So basically, I don't want them to be stronger (which will make them look thicker, which is the opposite of what I want), but to look thinner.
But my problem is my eating habit. I have a MAJOR sweet tooth. I can't control myself when it comes to food. But I've been wanting to fix that. I'm trying to eat less junk and more fruits and vegetables and water.
So any advice on how to get really thin legs (without pills or surgery)? As soon as possible please, and tell me how long.
Thank you so much! (link)

Well to thin them out is basically to do exercises that use the muscles in that area, so jogging/walking/running/biking etc. No you can't choose a particular area where you want weight to melt off by exercising and healthy eating but you can target areas with certain kinds of exercises.
Even so, you still have very little control over how much weight you will lose in that area and how much muscle you will gain. If you do a regular work out and eat healthy from all parts of the food pyramid you'll have the body you were always intended to have.
When I say this your going to groan and think "omg I was just asking how to make them skinnier" but honey, love the skin your in! Personally I have a curvy body with big thighs and legs. I never liked them until I started dating and for some reason guys just love that little bit of curve. Now, I look at them and think the same thing! I think on women, the sexiest part is legs, and they got to have a bit of curve or they just look like toothpicks.
Seriously babe there is no reason for you to lose weight, and your still young so your body is still going to change. My legs look completely different now to when I was 14, and that was only about 4 years ago. Just stay healthy, eat right and exercise regularly like everyone should and wait it out. In a few years when your body is filled out a bit more and you look at your legs and your still not happy, go to the gym and ask a trainer what you can do to target those areas.
EDIT: also, just looking at your age and height, you seem quite tall for 14 and you will grow a little between now and 21. This means your legs might get a bit longer and thin out that way.
