Curvy = Fat

I miss when the euphemism for fat was just "big". I don't think there was anything wrong with that. Black people can be referred to as dark-skinned, but fat people can't be big?

Now actual curvy girls like Scarlett Johansson are being dismissed as skinny, while overweight and unhealthy girls like Amber Riley are being praised as curvy.

I have nothing against overweight or anorexic people, but I don't think either should be encouraged. It annoys me that shop models are either a (for most people) overweight 14 to be PC, or a tiny 6, which is unattainable for most women.

Curvy is not overweight, healthy and putting your life at risk.

Curvy is being happy, healthy, with a proper woman's figure, a bit of healthy fat, not being tiny.

Thoughts?

When I hear curvy, I think of Jennifer Lopez. To me she is the perfect example of curvy, she has a flat, toned stomach, wide hips and full bum. I'd do anything for that shape!



This is NOT curvy imo. This is what I'd call big.



k bye

I don't care what people say, Christina Hendricks = fat. She is cute, but still fat.

Candice Swanepoel = curvy. Small waist, and hips on line with her shoulders. Also curves, so that when viewing her in profile, you'll see some nice lines.

Some fat people could have been curvy if they were skinny, but we'll never know, because their hips could be all fat.

You may call her fat, but she's still 'curvy'. Bigger boobs, bigger hips, much smaller waist..

If she lost 10 kg, she may look completely different. All the fat can go off her hips, and suddenly she hasn't got an hourglass shape anymore. When I think wide hips, I mean that you feel the outside of your hip and you feel a bone, not a layer of fat. Because your hips are shaped a certain way, and creates a line up to your waist. Almost all women (apart from some unlucky apples) gain weight on their hips, it's not unique to be wide down there if you eat enough.

She could be described as curvy because her shoulders and hips are equal and so her waist goes in, creating an hourglass shape. The hourglass isn't as defined as Nigella Lawson, but it's still an hourglass shape.

You can be curvy irrelevant to how fat you are.

Her pose is very deceiving, she would look much less curvy in a straight-on shot. But you are right though. She came up in google when I searched for fat, I didn't look too carefully.

so I guess in this case curvy = big.

Why are people on TSR so obsessed with fat people calling themselves curvy?

The way I see it, there is no scientific definition of curvy (if there is, then please enlighten me) therefore it's entirely subjective and not everyone is going to agree with what's curvy and what isn't. If fat people want to convince themselves that they are curvy then let them, they're only harming themselves.

Just my 2 cents.
