    I agree! And, like others have said... I would love to upgrade my lumpy curves for her!! lol

    Has anyone paid attention to Healthy is the New Skinny. You can visit www.healthyisthenewskinny.com

    BEAUTIFUL women with curves!!... models considered plus size at size 10. Kinda crazy but they are making strides to bring a message of health, joy, and responsibility to the beauty and the fashion industries.

    I don't think it's fair to say real women have curves, not every woman is blessed with boobs (me) or wide hips and a booty.

    OH F.F.S. HOW ABOUT WE STOP TELLING PEOPLE WHAT IS "BEAUTIFUL" OR WHAT QUALIFIES AS A "REAL WOMAN" AND INSTEAD WORK ON BEING LESS VAPID. HOW ABOUT INSTEAD OF DEFINING SOMEONE BY THEIR SIZE WE JUDGE THEM BY CHARACTER AND ACTIONS? STOP WORRYING ABOUT HOW OTHERS LOOK AND FOCUS ON WHY YOU PERCIEVE THEM AS LESS THAN WORTHY OF LOVE, AFFECTION, COMPASSION AND RESPECT. THEN YOU WILL DO THE WORLD A SERVICE BY REMOVING THE JUDGMENT YOU PLACE ON OTHERS. IT MAY EVEN HELP YOU VIEW YOURSELF WITH LOVE AND HELP YOU CHANGE THE WORLD AROUND YOU.
    END RANT.

    Amen. I :heart: you, Sarah!!!

    This is what I think of by "real women have curves"
    She has a booty, she has boobs and is in great shape!
    There doesn't have to be one extreme or another.

    Damn, I guess I can't be a real woman, or even know if I do have a curvy shape (you know, from that time when I was a real woman) because I am so extreme and have rolls. Really? This is not helpful to people. What is helpful is being able to find something about yourself that you love and can embrace. If you can love your curves, rolls or rollercoasters, way to go. Otherwise, please quit telling me what I can call them and that I should feel worse than I already to for what I have.

    Real women have curves.
    Real women have rolls.
    Real women have muscles.
    Real women have bones visible.
    Real women have all kinds of bodies.

    but, also, real women can be very thin, some people naturally are. All women are real women regardless of their body size and shape.

    This. Even as someone who HAS curves, I find the phrase 'real women have curves' pretty offensive.

    Dammit, I am so sick of women being defined by their body shape. How come real men are defined by their attitudes / behaviours & not their body shape?

    I have been saying this for years, why has noone listened to me?
    Curves is a body shape... not size!

    ^^^ Agreed. I don't know if most women realize weight/clothing size means nothing when it comes to the naked eye. I'm finally finding my body shape (I'd never seen it before now because I'd always had the extra lumps filling out my frame). I'm proud of my, what I consider, small hourglass shape. :-D

    I have curves when I stand up. I have rolls when I sit down.
    HAHAHA, LIKE IT!

    I sincerely hate that. "real women have curves.." I think REAL women are the ladies that stand up for something, that work hard to make something of themselves, they're the mamas that wake up at all hours of the night to breast feed their infant, or surprise their moms with flowers on mothers day.

    A real woman has heart, and that's it. A stick thin woman could be twice the woman a curvy lady is. Your soul matters.

    I don't care what any of you look like, but I find it pretty funny that some say look inside, and judge on the person, yadda yadda. Why the hell are you on here trying to lose weight if it isn't to look better to yourself and the people around you. Are you on this site working to be a nicer person? NO!

    Now go run a mile and curse the whole way.

    Well I feel better now.
