To all you haters

Meat is for men, bones are for dogs.........women were meant to have curves not look like a half-starved 10 year old children.

And body shaming skinny women is just as bad as shaming fat women...also, curves are to do with genes, not body fat - you can be fat and not curvy, you can be skinny and have curves...

I agree. The one thing that always offends me a little is the whole "real women have curves". Because of genetics, some women are naturally skinny with no curves. It's unfair to say that they aren't "real women." I understand that it's trying to empower larger women, & maybe I'm just over-sensitive, but I think the delivery of it is sometimes offensive to smaller women. Skinny people have feelings, too. But I do understand that we all have our own opinions. This was just mine. Have a good day!

I completely agree with your poem, so, why are you working on losing 131lbs?

My thoughts exactly.. Anyways I am totally down with people being happy with themselves, but I don't really like some of the lines in that poem.. Smaller women think they have a bigger 'pull'? etc.. Some of us like being thin, and wouldn't want to be heavier, just like some people like being heavier and wouldn't want to be thin. But no reason to make assumptions about either type.. I like being thin with some curve, but that doesn't mean I think I have more "pull" then a heavier women, everyone likes different things, and all men are attracted to different things.. I think everyones goal should be to be healthy, and happy with themselves, that all!

Not to bust your bubble, but if we're on MFP we're conscious about our weight for whatever reason it may be. Also, there is a difference between being fat, curvy, and fat with curves. I am fat. I am not curvy.I have a ruler shape. And I ****ing hate when women who fat are say they are curvy. Being fat is not curvy. Jennifer Hudson was curvy and overweight. Now she's just curvy.

I'm getting a "being overweight is a good thing that we should embrace" vibe. I'm here because I want to lose weight for my health, physical and emotional.

For a very short list of women who I consider "thick" and curvy:

Kim Kardashian
Jennifer Hudson

*edit I missed a comma.

Since when did curvy become obese?

I know! I consider myself curvy. I always have, I am 120 at 5'4, small waist big hips/thicker thigh, my measurements are 33/34-24-35, to me thats curvy. But now 300-400 pound people call themselves curvy & I think thats weird.. It's not curvy if you can't tell where someone's waist is or if they don't have a hourglass shape.. I think curvy is now a nice way of saying 'fat' or maybe it makes overweight women feel better, I don't know. But people on this site treat 'skinny' people kinda crappy because if your 'skinny' your not supposed to have any complaints about your body or want to improve it. I can't refer to myself as curvy on here apparently. I'm not being a jerk or anything, I just see the 'curvy' debate brought up a lot and thats just how I feel, other people have different ideas of what curvy is, and thats okay. c:

nice!

I honestly agree with this. This site has made me dislike the word "curvy" for that exact reason.
SO sick of "skinny" women being put down and fat acceptance increasing.
You can see my hip bones when I stand very clearly, my collar bone, all the little tendons in my feet and hands, and can count my ribs when I do yoga. Damn I am so unattractive since im not "curvy"

Edited so people do not get offended!!!!! My post was meaning not all "larger women" are sluts... because people think "they are insecure and can’t get play." Absolutely NOTHING against smaller frame women- Sorry if anyone took it that way... not meant that way at all!!!!

I don’t think this post has anything against anyone at or closer to their goal weight. I think it was more that all women are beautiful body wise no matter what the size.
