Show a fairer picture of your front, back, and sides. An angled picture can make any woman look curvy.
What I can say, based on this picture alone, without any background on your mental and physical health, is that you look happy and healthy. Whether you really are curvy, thin, curvy and thin, or some completely different shape, you look great.
Also, being thin does not make a person look sick; being sick makes a person look sick.
Similarly, being curvy doesn't make you healthy; BMI, measurements, strength, body fat percentage, etc. determine health.21 -

You’re a beautiful, slender woman who appears to be extremely healthy. Enjoy!4

I think you're healthy thin
Your skin looks nice and your waist is just perfect. I would kill to have my waist look like that,again!3 -
You're beautiful and slim. You are not my definition of curvy but you are not a "stick" either.7

I think a bigger concern is why you a posting images of yourself online for validation? Validation comes from within, I think the sooner you get this the happier you will be. You're a healthy weight, you know this, that is all that should matter. Don't waste your youth comparing yourself to others or living for outside opinions, it's not productive or healthy.65

Depends on what your definition of "curvy" is.
Some people define curvy as a plus-sized body. Others define it as a small waist with big hips/boobs. Some mix the both. You don't have to be defined as "curvy" to be healthy OR happy.
I'll never be curvy, it's just my body structure - little boobs and my waist isn't much smaller than my ribcage/hips. But that's okay, because I am myself and that's awesome too

I agree. This fishing for compliments thing is getting old.41 -
You are beautiful young and healthy looking slim with some curves. Enjoy!!!0

that's a pretty picture, and you look fine, good weight good build, but why do you care if people think you are curvy?

I don't think you're curvy but you're not sick thin either. You look good don't worry! 1

I don't know what curvy means to you or other people.
I don't know why it is a big deal either way.
You look like a woman. You look like you are a healthy weight. You are slim and look proportionate.
You do not appear to have wide hips or a very large chest. Your position in the photo is odd for deciding on body type but you may be more straight in figure type than a pronounced hourglass shape.1 -

You have a nice waist to hip ratio but not curvy in my book. Your body fat% is not super low so you have a nice soft look though.0

People have no idea what skinny means anymore. You are slim, slender, not skinny because you have no bones sticking out. You have more of a banana shape, which is just your body type. Enjoy, you are beautiful and healthy.0

I think curvy these days usually refers to ' meaty' curves like the Kardashians, often women with a bit of weight on them. You don't look thin, you look INCREDIBLE, slim and healthy - enjoy!!! I love your pup too!1

I usually bite my tongue, or hold back my fingers, in cases like this but after seeing all the photos here I feel like I have to type this. If you really want feedback on your body from strangers, you should post straightforward photos like stated earlier in the thread. Almost every one of these photos is angled or has you contorting your body in certain ways to achieve your most flattering angles. This is why some people are taking this as a "fish for compliments" thread more than a "be honest with me" thread. That's not to say you don't look good! You're at a healthy weight, you have a soft look as stated earlier in the thread, and you have what seems to be a symmetrical face with minimal acne. For most people, that's really all it takes to be more than average on the attractive scale. You'll be a stick to some, curvy to some, and neither for others. As long as you're happy with yourself, that's what matters.43

WTF. This is possibly the most hateful thing i have read on this site. You are truly scum.
OP. As a style and colour analyst we use the term curvy to describe hourglass and pearshape regardless of body fat %. You definitely have a curvy womanly body. ( and my husband agrees too)2 -
In all earnestness, I'm betting the negative comments came from women since, from my experience, women are the most vicious people to women. The negative comments usually come from women who hate that you look better than them or men that hate that they couldn't date you. Assuming you are a heterosexual woman, let me speak on behalf of most men by saying how much we don't care. Based on thosr pictures, only 1% of men are going to reject you for not being curvy enough, so the odds are on your favor. If health is your concern: look up your BMI. Ask yourself is your BMI drastically low? Do you feel lethargic or always irritable? Are you having issues with your feminine cycle? Are you having issued getting a variety of nutrients? If the answer is no to these do what you're doing and ignore people that hate you for being better.1

I agree with all this.7 -
Wouldn't say curvy but I wouldn't say stick either. A nice in between.
If you're not happy perhaps you could start lifting.0 -

Not necessarily all negative comments from women, I think she looks great!0 -
If I could pick a favorite BMI yours would be the one I would like for me to end up with that is not too thick or too thin. I would like to look good in a bikini again one of these days. Some people prefer low body fat and a more athletic, muscular build and others prefer a softer and curvier shape. As others mentioned "curvy" in most people's minds means "plus" sized so you won't be considered that in the general public, IMO, because you are in the normal BMI and Missy sizing.0

From my perspective, you look very healthy and average size. Not too thin and not too curvy. Immediately looking at you I wouldn't say curvy, but I do see that you have some curves. But I will say not everyone is going to think the same way I do. Some will probably think you look a bit thin (mostly women who are insecure with their own bodies or men who like the plus size types), others a bit too curvy (mostly men who like frail looking women), but I would take a guess that most people (the practical and realistic) would say you look like you're at your ideal weight, size, and shape.0

Wisdom. How I feel about myself has shifted. I'm 30 pounds heavier than I was years ago. I am more comfortable now that my body has some miles on it than I ever was when I had a great body. I was always insecure and thought I was fat back then when I really was just fine. I would give OP benefit of the doubt rather than assume she is fishing for complements....You're at a healthy weight, you have a soft look as stated earlier in the thread, and you have what seems to be a symmetrical face with minimal acne. For most people, that's really all it takes to be more than average on the attractive scale. You'll be a stick to some, curvy to some, and neither for others. As long as you're happy with yourself, that's what matters.
Now I'm happy to have what I do and appreciate life so much more. There are other things that are far more pressing in life to deal with as time ticks by. I'm happy that I have come to this place of acceptance. If I lose weight, great. If I don't I will still be thankful and make the best of it. (But I will!)

For a second there I thought I was on Instagram and not on MFP.
With giving benefit of a doubt that this is more than just fishing for compliments I would advise you to stop paying attention what people say. This kind of post to me screams of need for validation which tells me that even with all the poses and smiles you are just not there mentally. I am sorry but seeing someone take and post so many selfies just seems like they are insecure and need others to give them compliments. You look fine. There is nothing more attractive than self confidence and right attitude. As far as your question goes for some you will be too skinny, for some just right, for some too big. People have different tastes and we do not live our lives to please everyone...indeed the one person that has to be happy is you. 7 -

Totally this.
What adjective someone else uses to describe you ("curvy", "stick-like", "purple", whatever) is all about how their head works, not about how your body is.
If you're healthy and strong, and know you're at a good weight for you (which includes how you prefer to look, within a healthy range of weights), then all is well.
You don't need validation from strangers (or friends). Work on being the best you you can be, liking/appreciating that self, and generally being healthy - physically, mentally, and emotionally.2
