Fat and curves are NOT the same thing

This seems like one of those posts where OP obviously just wants people to respond.
What do you care?
Worry about yourself.
What other people think has nothing to do with you....
I really don't see the point in these types of threads other than wanting attention/ getting people all worked up over something stupid.
Just something on my mind & something to tslk ab. This is the chit chat thread. Don't like don't read0 -

This^^ Care about what you think. This isnt the presidential debate. I personally am sick of these types of posts in the forums. This site is meant to help people not bash them cuz theyre fat and "not curvy" like you claim to be0 -

Agreed, my hip and waist bones/proportions are VERY different, but curves also mean boobs and boobs will most likely disappear, not all of them, but not the way they once were! That's what I'm mostly scared about! x0

I politely disagree - I've been thinner than my current goal weight and did not like the way my body looked at all, where my GW is, though a higher number, makes me look how I love my body, soft and curvy - I start to lose my favorite look under that weight. So thanks for the input but I'd rather keep my opinion of curvy, than yours.0

Presidential debates are not even presidential debates. lol. not these days.0 -
... women with wide hip-to-waist ratios can sleep safely knowing as they reduce body fat - even to very low levels - they will maintain their distinct curvature....
Thank God! I'm SAFE! :drinker:0 -

Unfortunately sum ppls boobies do go awayAgreed, my hip and waist bones/proportions are VERY different, but curves also mean boobs and boobs will most likely disappear, not all of them, but not the way they once were! That's what I'm mostly scared about! x
ur right ab tht. I've only went down one number. But mine were never HUGE to begin with. 0 -
I understand how Christina must have felt. It's just strange the way in which people focus on women's bodies. A woman is an inspiration because of something she has accomplished or done, not because of her body shape. It doesn't feel good to a woman when she feels like people are always eyeing her body and judging and measuring and making comparisons. It's just pitting women against each other. People act like we as women have so much control over our body type. We constantly are being asked to defend our body types and prove that we fit the words that describe our bodies. It's so absurd, really. People post threads like this and end up in fights and competitions about who is curvier or whatever. We all have different body types and yes curvy can have many different meanings. By some definitions I'm not curvy. But, I do have a curvy figure (there is a 10 inch difference in my waist to hip ratio). I have a woman's body, just overall smaller in size because I have a curvy, but very small frame. But, woman want to love and enjoy their bodies. I am all for that! I just think that we can do that without making comparisons about how other bodies are bad. We can talk about what we love about ourselves without saying it's better than...or I love my body because I would never want to look like... Or all bodies are good except for... It's just ignorance really. None of what I am saying is directed at the person that posted this link, it's just my general response from having seen this interview previously and from these general types of forum topics on mfp.0 -

its not just women. its everyone about everything. we do it to all types of people everyday about everything.
reminds me of that guy from extreme make over who was wrongfully imprisoned because "he looked like a criminal". Then later they found out it was not him, he lost years from being judged. i have not ever met the person who does not do it on some level.0 -
I'm glad we cleared this up once and for all. It's a revelation.
Now we can move on to more pressing issues, such as whether or not muscle weighs more than fat.0 -
she would have to learn how to type / spell / punctuate properly first :bigsmile:
Wow. Just - wow. The post may not be typed perfectly, so what?! I think its YOU who needs to learn a few things, MANNERS being top of the list. Growing up might be another priority.0 -
I have backwards curves. ( ) Not ) (
Actually, more of a sideways m for a few rolls.
lol, i just saw that...fun stuff!0 -
Id consider myself curvy....not fat....and there is a difference....smooth nice curves that dont jiggle all over :P haha0
-
Exactly! At my heaviest, I had curves. Now, at 152(was 149, but my body is being stupid or my scale lied last time), I STILL have those curves, only they're smaller. lol.0

God knows my boobs haven't gone anywhere. Still a 36D. They could go down a little if they wanted too after all I dont use them to their advantage like I used to. But I'm still curvy and beautiful.0

I see no reason to attack the OP for bringing up a sensitive topic. Some might consider that the use of the term "curves" and "curvy" has been hijacked for politically correct purposes. The definition of "curvy" seems ot have changed over the years.
In short, I don't think "vanity labels" do any of us any good either.0 -
..... having babies widens the hips.......
..................just say'in :laugh:0 -
I think every woman here wants to be healthy and thinner. And I'd like to lose weight for curves as well!
However, some of us aren't obsessed with the idea of having flat bellies and looking like a woman on the cover of Shape magazine. All power to those who are, but I'd be happy to be a normal, healthy size.0 -
You can be curvy and thin and curvy and fat. Curvy comes in all shapes and sizes.0

"normal" is a relative term, really.I think every woman here wants to be healthy and thinner. And I'd like to lose weight for curves as well!
However, some of us aren't obsessed with the idea of having flat bellies and looking like a woman on the cover of Shape magazine. All power to those who are, but I'd be happy to be a normal, healthy size.
I think if you talked to 100 different women, they'd have 100 different ideas of "normal".0 -

Thanks sweetie! I mean realky, this is mfp not English class lol0 -
Since I've never been thin, I'm just worried I won't be able to recognize myself if I get too thin and that my bf won't think I'm attractive anymore. Basically, curvy is the only flattering word that applies to my figure at the moment, if I can't use that I guess I'll just go back to using "fatty mcfat-fat." 0

Who says flat bellies arent normal? I actually think they are, but most ppl these days are overweight so its become abnormal. Fit=heealthy imo0 -
But which weighs more...curves or fat?0

Muscle... duh! *wink*0 -
So inform me of this:
How does this immediately impact your life? Are you not able to make it to work because of this revelation? Are you going to write a book?
LMAO!0 -
Yea, I'm boy shaped...but with boobs and butt...just not a very hour-glass figure.
I like my butt and boobs...but I'm proportionate. When I lose weight, i lose all over. So you can't really tell I lost my boobs and butt.0
