I want to call myself curvy

Ok ok ok....I will call myself fat from now on since that's me! Even though my WHR is like10" difference. I'm still fat!!! Won't say "curvy" anymore. My bad, my bad. Gonna go eat a dozen donuts now. LOL JK
In all fairness, ugly words need euphemisms. FAT is an ugly word. People always co-opt nicer words to save self-esteem, esp. after years of people calling them those ugly words. Its a natural response. So my suggestion is live and let live. If someone in your judgment is fat, let her use whatever word she wants to describe herself. It doesn't hurt you any.0 -
curve/kərv/
Noun:
A line or outline that gradually deviates from being straight for some or all of its length.
Verb:
Form or cause to form a curve.
Synonyms:
noun. bend - turn - twist - curvature - crook - turning
verb. bend - crook - flex - bow - warp - twist
Pretty sure a curve can go inwards, outwards, up...down...any which way. You don't have to curve inwards to be curvy, your curves can curve outwards as well. Curvy means anything that's not straight. An overweight person who is completely round can call themselves curvy; they curve outwards. To each their own.
Quoting dictionary definitions is what you do to start an essay when you're 10. Also what is the dictionary definition of Duckface?
lol! Someone's angry. :flowerforyou:

Okay? So what if they have? What's your point? And who cares? What does that have to do with you? If you feel you're curvy you are, just like if they feel they're curvy they are. Curviness comes in all weights and heights.No, but it makes no sense to sit and talk about how other people DEFINE their BODIES. Worry about your body and support others. Who cares if someone 200lbs calls themselves curvy. What does it have to do with you? Or anything else for that matter?
Did you not read the OP? I can't call myself curvy because in today's world it means fat, because fat people have taken it and ran with it.
I care... which is why I posted. Keep up sunshine!
Claro...Estoy tan contenta de que ella se preocupa por mi cuerpo. SMH.

"I can't call myself curvy because in today's world it means fat, because fat people have taken it and ran with it."
I have an idea: how about not being so concerned about what words you "can" and "can't" use to describe yourself? If you think you're sexy, why not just call yourself sexy? That seems like a freakin win no matter what. Nobody's going to take that term and dirty it up for you. I just don't understand why people get so huffy about words. Words are subjective, as well as many of their definitions. Some people call me curvy, some people call me fat. The ones that call me fat can shove it, and that's where it ends

I think it comes down to that a woman either has a curvy figure (hourglass, pear) or she doesn't, regardless of weight. So since you're an hourglass, curvy would apply to you at any weight. But you're describing your FIGURE not your weight, if that makes sense.
All overweight women are overweight but some overweight women are also curvy in the classic sense of the word.
And if you're genuinely curvy, you will be curvy no matter what. I will have curves if I weigh 90 pounds because my bone structure is such.0 -

More than likely they have low self esteem. I'm not sure why someone would care about that. If you want to get technical some people would consider a her wearing a size 12 fat. But that's objective because some people say a size 12 is average. So then would she be one of those so called "Fat people"? I often wonder what causes people to attack others to make them feel good about themselves."I can't call myself curvy because in today's world it means fat, because fat people have taken it and ran with it."

I love how you're talking about me like I can't read... Size 12 MAY be fat, some people that wear a 12 ARE fat. Fact is, my HIPS are wide. You know, the actual bone structure? I don't have a ton of extra weight hanging around making me a 12. I'll never be smaller than that. And I'm ok with that. I LOVE my body. And the thread was about a word. Sorry you got so butt hurt, welcome to the internet0 -
It's just a way for big girls to feel better about themselves. C'mon, let 'em have something. I'm a big girl, but I don't have rolls to make me curvy, I have the curves to make me curvy. My body was made for child bearing, HAhahahaha. Smaller around my waist than my hips and chest. WHen I think of a skinny girl I don't think curves, I think... "I can see your hip bones". Haha, BUT, I know we have all seen Baywatch, so there is such thing as a curvy skinny girl.... whether they are real or not. 0

The issue with placing a "style" or "Type" to a body is that the perceptions get ruined by, not only the media, but the self interpretations for which people want to believe. This is a case where the fake until you believe theory destroys a mindset for what needs to be.
If you look back to the traditional body-typing...the "ideal" curvy woman would have something similar to Marilyn Monroe..much like yourself.
Too often. heavy-set women place themselves in this "category" because they want give themselves a "better picture" of what they look like - thus, the fake it until you believe it theory. Which is crap.0 -

Why are you so quick to jump on people? It's not proving your point at all, especially when you are calling other people butt hurt. Usually jumping on somebody's back right away is a sign that you're the one whose butt is a little sore....but w/e. Let's all be happy and ride unicorns into the sunset, okay??? :drinker:0 -
To not sound butt hurt... lmao... I just want to say I love you all lol.
I have curves as well, so I get what you are saying. But I also agree with the fact that 'fat' women can be curvy as well, you just can't see it as good. I'm still overweight, but my curves are kickin. Soon I'll be looking like Kim K and my *kitten* will be all BAM and my tig ole bitties will be like BOOM. And I personally don't give a rats *kitten* who thinks what about me, or a word I use to describe myself. I'm gonna rock what I got... plain and simple, the end!0 -
I think words have so much meaning and connotation...we just have to take the power of those words back, and redefine them in a way that empowers us. So work it, curvy girls!! and keep up the good work!0

me too - british size 12 - american 8 I think...I weigh 150 pounds and my waist is 10 inches small than my hips and chest...curvy is not fat - never has been - fat is fat - not an insult just a fact. I have been 196 pounds - I was fat!! Good luck with your journey :-)
It varies by height, you can be 196 and not fat. I've known some pretty average girls who weigh this much at like 5'10.0 -
Im curvy like a backroad canyon highway in northern Arizona.
No check that... im either soundwaves... or a softer version of the NYC skyline.
Either way, I love what's happening to me.
Oh wait.... I am what's happening to me.0 -

Yeah because how other people define themselves should totally affect how you define yourself.
