question for curvy women with c or d cups who are still somewhat thin despite being curvy...

So I have almost the opposite problem. I'm 5'6" and 200lbs with not one single roll on my body and little cellulite. I'm not very fit, but I'm working on it.

Everyone, including my gym coach couldnt believe I could even be that heavy until they see me on the scale.

I guess the moral of the story is that people are going to judge and draw conclusions based on a number of factors. It doesn't matter if you are thin or large or something in between: its going to happen.

If you love your curves and think you look beautiful, then that is the only opinion you need to take into consideration because there will always be someone out there who has a negative opinion.

On one hand, yes please, do not obsess over whether your friend is considered a skeleton and you're not even though you're a smaller size. And please know that it is NOT the prerogative of others to make remarks about your body.

On the other hand, this is a weightloss/fitness forum, so I don't want to patronize you for thinking about these things and tell you to think about something more important because A. Maybe you do and B. Aren't we all here because we're concerned about our bodies/shape in one way or another? Besides, while we all know it is important to accept the body you have and be a dynamic person, we cannot pretend, most of us, that the desire to be considered attractive and the compulsion to compare does not exist.

That said, I think I know somewhat how you feel about being "curvey" even though it sounds to me like you're really thin. For your perspective, I'm 5'1" and I weigh 123, nearly 10 pounds more than you. I also wear a 34 D or 32 DD. I don't look fat.

Anyway I have spent my share of time wishing I had a rail straight figure, wanting that waifsh look. Big boobs and hips felt like it didn't go with my perception of myself somehow. And yes, I've experienced that some people occasionally seem surpriseed that I run a lot, because I don't have that classic "runner" look or whatever. I know it can be frustating to not feel "dainty" or whatever and like you're automatically assumed to be somehow more sexual or less genteel because you have curves. Maybe this is going further than your own concerns, but my point is that I think it is an unfortunate fact that we often have certain cultural associations with different body types (which we have little control over) and that, especially as a young woman, that can be a burden. I've come a long way as I get older to growing less affected by or less concerned with that type of thinking though, and most times, even though I might envy or admire other, more "perfect" bodies, wouldn't trade mine for another when I really think of it.

Just take care of the body you have and become friends with it (sounds corny I know). And I agree with a previous comment that, even though it's normal for women to think about and talk about a little, don't get in the habit of talking about your bodies with your friends all the time and having that as a basis for social interaction. I have a couple friends at 32 who are still constantly bringing their body up and it gets super old and annoying. It's a habit that I think women are expected to have even if in reality they are not really that concerned. It's lke the socially conditioned go-to way to relate to another woman, like sports with men or something, and so it seems women feel obligated to bring that up. You don't have to.

I guess all I can recommend at the end if the day is to just do things that make you feel good and healthy. Vague I know but I'm not sure how else to conclude.

I don't mean to sound rude, but do you WANT people to call you skeleton?

Ladies! Has it occurred to you that OP may not be a female but a guy having great fun with the description of your cup sizes? And I don't even want to go there...what else he is doing while reading all the juicy details...

Haha. Oh man I got such big breasts. They are so big and awesome and hot and my bod is so svelt and curvey I just can't even handle it cause I look like a big busty playboy bunny all the time! 36-24-36 over here!!!

34C is an average size. Although American women's clothing (if not loose fitting, like everything is these days) is designed for a B cup - which is sort of ridiculous.

The measurements you give for your height of 5'9" sound unhealthy to me. And unrealistic if you've been doing strength training. Also, they don't sound like you are curvy. I'm not making a value judgment; I can't picture what you've described. A picture would help.

That's a sad assumption to make and makes quite a statement about your perception of people IMHO [

Sad or not; it is a bit weird that OP hasn't reacted to any of the posts and is not willing to post a pic when multiple people are asking...in the mean time there are great details divulged about breasts

You must be new here. OPs disappear all the time after all kinds of questions.
