Pear Vs. Spoon Shape

kylesmommy89

I always thought there were 4 options as far as body shape is concerned: Hourglass, Apple, Pear and Banana. Out of these I always figured I was an apple because I gain weight in my belly and love handle area, but I never had a "top heavy" appearance characteristic of an apple.

I decided to take my measurements and enter them into a calculator online and found out that I am a SPOON shape! I was so excited to actually find MY body shape because I have never even seen a body shape like mine on one of these sites. Spoon shapes have measurements similar to a pear shape, but we have high hips that create a "shelf" look and gain in our lower belly before our thighs/butt.

Here's a pear shape:



Here's a spoon shape:





Also here is a picture of me at different weights for a reference.

I just thought this might be helpful to any women shaped like me who never really fit into the typical body shape categories

Embrace the spoon!! If I didn't have my high hips I wouldn't have any curve to my body at all! I'll take what I can get lol

Yes I am a spoon too! At the moment I'm looking pretty much exactly like your first picture - you're also giving me motivation you look amazing in the second pic!
One benefit of spoon is that I find my waist looks small compared to my 'shelf'....such an unsexy description.

Obviously this thread is geared to woman, but as a man, I think the spoon body shape is very attractive, moreso than the pear shape. Your mileage may vary.

Thank you! Glad to motivate!! I agree that the word "shelf" sucks lol, but it does make our waists look so tiny in comparison.
