WE NEED TO STOP!!

BTheGreatest

Seriously, i'm tired of the whole embrace your curves (love handles and saddle bags) crock of crap!! I'm not saying I wanna be a rail, but let's be honest people, the curves most of you are talking about is pure unadulterated fat not the hourglass figure!! I wanna keep a curvy figure, but without the spare tire!! I wanna be healthy and live a long life without the horrors and sickness being overweight can put you through!! We all make excuses not to eat right, not to exercise and those just continue the cycle of self hatred and depression!! We will have to take our health by the balls and choke it into submission in order to have the body we are dreaming of!! I feel it's time to start putting in work and putting away the excuses!! WHO'S WITH ME?!!!

Oh girl, you know I am with you! I love my curves and losing weight and toning up will help me accentuate them. Sadly, most people do not know that they need to eat more healthy foods and more often as well as workout to get what they want. This whole diet in a bottle crap gets on my nerves! Get off your lazy butts and get moving because honestly that is the only way that we will get our bodies into shape. Hope you are keeping up with everything, haven't seen you post any of your progress lately. We are gonna reach our goals soon, I just know it!

I haven't had a ton of time to measure and weigh lately, but i'm still putting in work. Been real busy the past week and a half transitioning my kids out of summer and back to school. I should start back up here pretty soon. I have a feeling that we're both gonna be rockin that sexy again here very soon too.... I'M EXCITED!!

I don't care what others do, and lots of women LOVE their curves. I'm thrilled for them! I don't care if their curves are what makes them overweight. If they are happy with their bodies and self-confident.... all I feel for them is ENVY.

However, for myself, YES I will be getting rid of some of these "curves". I don't really like it when someone tells me "You look SO GOOD. I wish I had YOUR CURVES." I always say thank you of course, because it's a compliment, but secretly I'm hating a lot of my curves.

I don't even need to say that I will make sure to not lose all of them, because my body simply won't let me be "a rail". I have very wide-set hips and I am destined to be a pear, no matter what size I get down to.

Personally, I'm tired of "embracing" my curves everytime I bend down....or fold my arms....or to be quite honest, I would love to clap my hands and not hear an echo from my boobs!!! :laugh:

From the view point of a man:

Curves = awesome
Folds = disgusting

Want to keep your curvy body but drop the fat? heavy squats, overhead presses, and deadlifts are you new work out staples!

for me, this is about being healthy. When I started this, I wanted to be "unfat", I didn't want to be skinny. But now, I see that it's about a healthier lifestyle. Eating right and exercise is the way to go. I have never been thin, but I have never focused on eating healthy. Now that I'm doing that, I'm looking forward to BEING healthy, not just LOOKING thin.

I wish others had been more honest with me as I'd been gaining weight. I probably wouldn't now be half way through a year long diet if I had smartened up a couple of years ago..

Well said. Do what you want and let others do what they want. We spend too much time paying attention to the next person. when i lose the body fat/ weight/folds, i still want to have curvy hips, nice boobs and a shapely *kitten*. If someone else wants to be rail thin, go for it. What does it matter what someone else likes or wants?

All the best people

There is a difference between curves and fat. Clothing manufacturers are using it as a way to sell.

I will never be rail thin. I do have curves. Even at my smallest size I was curvy. I do love my curves. I just hate the fat on top of them!

Everyone has different body shapes. I believe in working with what you have.

lacewitch

i need to lose my saddle bags and get a butt ~( nice high perky one ideally) rather than the thigh/*kitten* combination i am currently sporting.

I'm with you

I agree with "to each his/her own". What I have a problem with is "muffin tops"!! If you want to be a big girl/boy then go for it and be all you can be while doing it. But seriously keep it to yourself! I do not want to see your fat hanging out of your pants.

This comment is not coming from a skinny person either....just a "big girl" trying her hardest to get healthy and in shape but also who knows how to cover her junk up!!

ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL!!:grumble: :noway: :grumble:

I love my curves. I just want a bit less of them. I will never be "skinny". I have too much muscle mass to ever be anything less than a size 6. I have a honkey-tonk-badonkadonk and cleavage up top. i have had these regardless of my weight (i'm a yo yo dieter who has been fit before). i want to keep these assets. but i'm tired of having so much of them. i want definition, i want curves, and i want to be healthy.

Im with ya- from slightly over weight to full on fat- ppl make excuses. We all love to eat- thats not special to any one person. We all have/had trouble choosing right- also not unique - we all now know we can just eat free style all the time and want that to change. "i love my curves' when there are FOLDS involved with those curves is just another excuse to stay big. Do I envy ppl that are THAT confident that they rock a bikini with their folds hangin low? Absolutely not at all- thats more than confidence - its stupidity - do they know they are killing themselves? If so- why are they making a statement to the world- " I love my fat even if it kills me' Its like the smokers who light up and puff like they deserve it when they find a smoking room- they arent cool - they're stupid. Rockin' your bod no matter what is only good for so much- if you are unhealthy- making your kids as unhealthy and on your way to an early grave thanks to no exercise and being 30% or more body fat- Im not impressed by you grabbing life by the horns no matter what, Im saddened by the apparent disregard for health and well being.

Bashing doesn't mean truth. It means refusal to believe that anyone doesn't think the way you do (e.g. the body we all desire). Not everyone desires the same body.

Bashing is also an accusation commonly thrown when someone hears something personal which they don't like.

Well said! Excuses have allowed me to put on over 20 lbs over the past 10 yrs. No more; down by 10

And why is the onus on others to tell YOU that you're gaining weight, etc.... it is not their fault that you chose to ignore the clothes getting tighter etc... lol hows that for cold hard truth

All kidding aside, if someone is confident no matter what their size that is great I am jealous of that confidence, but even greater if they can use some of that confidence/energy to making themselves healthier... no body bashing. People should stop tearing each other down and help build/boost people up, aim to motivate & inspire each other

cheers!

...We all make excuses not to eat right, not to exercise and those just continue the cycle of self hatred and depression!! ...

If you were just saying you loved your curves and it was something you told yourself because you were not ready to choke balls or whatever until you got your dream body then sure. Some of us love who we are fat and all and are losing weight not for a dream body but for health and long life. I won't love myself anymore because I'm thinner so I guess what I'm saying is if you are in a cycle of self hatred and depression you might find that you should work on that as a seperate issue from your weight as there maybe a day you realize even thin people are capable of self hatred and depression.

Cassie8877

I hear ya lady!!! I work my *kitten* off to try and get results and i have been at a place where i just didnt want to work out and i made excuses and caught myself making excuses not to work out.. And its damn hard to find motivation everyday to work out.. but if you want results you have to put the work in!

This post was not meant to "bash" anyone, it was simply how I felt about myself and the excuses myself and others gave me when I was being hard on myself. I was told the things I wanted to hear and not what I needed to hear. I was stagnant when it came to improving my health. I allowed my excuses and others to hold me back from reaching my goals. I have wide hips and a big butt and by no means should i be considered "thick" or "curvy" i'm borderline obese, unhealthy and need to make a change before it's to late. This has nothing to do with body type, but rather overall health, including mental. I'm sorry I cannot make progress when I live in a lie. I decided to embrace the truth and not my unhealthy mid-section fat skirt.

Ha. If that's directed at me for wanting an end to Body Bashing then you're way off. I have absolutely no curves. I am fat at the moment a more than sturdy 500 year old oak tree would be a good description, and when I'm a lower weight I'm still pretty much just a tree trunk, or maybe a lamp post. But I have no issue with those who love their curves, who might be a size 18+. Being larger does not always mean unfit, in the same way being super skinny automatically means super fit. I think it's wonderful that women can feel power in themselves, can love the size of their thighs, the roundness of their bellies, without an ounce of self loathing. Me? I hate to look in the mirror, and confidence I have pretty much zilch, I'm a great big faker. But what right do I, or anyone have to tell another person they're disgusting? We all have bodies that are capable of amazing things, and hopefully, in time we will all learn to strive for good health, but in the mean time, slating the women who love their curves, or who celebrate their protruding collarbones, shows more that we have insecurities about our own choices and that we need people to join us so we don't feel "wrong", than it does about the people who don't share our ideals.
