When does CURVY become FAT

SkimFlatWhite68

I think the traditional definition of the hourglass figure is a 10 inch difference between your waist and your hips/boobs.

Yay! I qualify!

I think the difference is pretty clear when you look in the mirror.
Curvy = you have curves and they look nice.
Fat = you have lumps and they don't look nice.

I'm always puzzled as to why anyone cares how someone else describes themselves. They get mad when someone they think is fat calls themselves curvy.

Anyway, by the literal definition of curvy, we all are.

I would refer to myself as curvy. My bmi teeters between normal and overweight (24.8-25.2). I am sure there are women out there that are my height and weight and not curvy as it really depends on build. My measurements are 36-28.5-39. I think it's one of those things that everyone has a different personal definition of and that is fine with me.

FTR, I think bmi is a load of crap. I don't think most people would consider me overweight.

I can tell you one thing, OP, I am SICK, to the back teeth, of people using curvy to equal fat. Even freakin' shops do it.

Seriously, it bugs me.

I'm curvy - I have a 15" difference between my hips and my waist. Beyonce is curvy. Kim Kardashian is curvy.

You can be fat and curvy, slim and curvy, athletic and curvy, anorexic and curvy, but having some meat on your bones doesn't automatically equal curvy.

I'll never forget the time I read a story about this seriously morbidly obese woman whose mission it was to become the fattest woman ever. Her chef boyfriend was, like most chubby chasers, slim. He said he likes 'curvy women'. Right. Because rolls upon rolls equals curvy now.

It's just another symptom of our PC culture. Sadly, a spade isn't a spade anymore, it's a fork.

In my opinion curvy becomes fat when you get fat around your stomach and flanks area cus that definitely is not curvy body like an hour glass but rolls. When fat starts having cellulite or skin hanging. But when curves can be bigger but there is a small waist and nice back it looks nice, someone can carry heavier weight but it has to all be well proportioned throughout the body not accumulated just in one area then it starts looking like fat.

You can be obese, fat, skinny, athletic or average and still be curvy.

Curves are curves are curves.

When you have boobie-do. That's when your stomach sticks out farther than your boobies do.

when it starts to curve downward verses outward... belly, muffintops...rolls have curves but they are not curvy...

Who the frack cares about Marylin Monroe?

Anyone who uses "real women have curves" to make themselves feel better about their bodies. Women without curves are for dogs. Or for bones. I can't remember how it goes.

Curvy = Your boobs > than your belly + Your Hips are wider or the same as your belly.

curvy is a shape not size...

:drinker:

>25% body fat

u mad bro?

that is overfat, NOT curvy. just accept it & stop dreaming. Beyonce, Shakira, JLo, Scarlett Johansson, Marilyn Monroe, Raquel Welsh, Sofia Vergara etc. are the true definition of curvy but look at them, they're fit & slim, NOT overweight.

I'm fat and I still consider myself curvy! My measurements are 47-37-49.

I'm fat and have curves FOR DAYS! :drinker:




(Ignore the crazy hair! That picture wasn't meant to be posted online! hahahaha


And to those of you that have a problem with plus sized clothing being referred to as "curvy"...Who cares?! lol I'm sure all you fine ladies have far more important things to be bothered by than what someone chooses to refer to their body type as.

Anyone who has a problem with me calling myself curvy can suck it! :flowerforyou:

Here's a picture of me in my PJs!



Still curvy!



See! Us fat girls can STILL be curvy so leave us alone skinny *****es! lol

"Curvy" became fat when fat girls decided they needed to brand themselves with something that made themselves seem more appealing, usually accompanied by somehow trying to indirectly compare themselves to Marylin Monroe. Few things irk me more when someone shaped like a barrel calls themselves "curvy" yet the only curves on them are from the rolls on their back fat.

This.

A search for the hastag 'curvy' on IG will show you about 90% of women don't freakin' understand the meaning.

To me, it's like calling someone athletic because they happen to be slim, or someone skinny because they happen to not be fat. Body types are body types for a reason - let's be accurate here.

You ladies are acting as though you're offended that a "fat girl" describes herself the same way you do.

What you're really doing is showing more of your own insecurities rather than proving a point. If you think you look good, you should think that whether the term you use to describe yourself is used by someone else that isn't up to your standards. Nobody is going to see you differently...I PROMISE! (Unless you say DISGUSTINGLY ugly things like the above example...Then people may start to think you aren't as cute as you think you are. )

I guess the worst is fat and not curvy lol....lucky me I'm a fat straight line :laugh:

Round or a circle is by definition a curve the perfect closed curve so therefore obese=curvy. Jeesh people it's basic geometry.
