Curvy Doesn't Mean Fat

Attention bloggers, it has come to my attention that the word-police has decided that curvy isn't equivalent to being fat! As a big girl, I've got problems with this. Big girls aren't one-size fits all. We have all different shapes and sizes. Some plus size women are pear shaped, some are apple, and many are hour glass! Slender women have the same shapes, but us bigger girls have a little extra shape ;)

How do you define curvy? Having CURVES. Having hills and valleys. Hips and some junk in the trunk. Having lovely lady lumps. Contrary to popular belief, I think if anyone has the right to be pissed about the wrong body types being called curvy, it's us big girls. We have more rolls, more turns, more hills and valleys! So, yes, us big girls are curvy, whether you like to believe it or not.

Moreover, "slender" women can be curvy, too, and that's okay. The lovely thing about being a female is the variety among us. We need to stop getting caught up in the words and worry more about how we treat each other. 

I'm fat. I have no problem with being called fat. In fact, I embrace it, because that's what I am right now and here. You must LOVE yourself, because your weight is only one miniscule part about you. Now, I know I will get lectured for promoting obesity, which is totally unhealthy, but that post is for another day. 


Speaking of "curvy" girls, I've been absolutely IN LOVE with Rebel Wilson. She is GORGEOUS & hilarious.

Here is a quote from her newest movie, Pitch Perfect, where she plays a larger than life acapella singer.

Aubrey: What's your name? Fat Amy: Fat Amy. Aubrey: You call yourself Fat Amy?Fat Amy: Yes, so twig bitches like you don't do it behind my back.


What do you THINK about fat girls being called curvy?

  1. I don't have a problem with fat girls being called curvy. The only issue that I have is that there really isn't a word for girls with big breasts, a small waist, and big hips (which contrary to popular belief is a very difficult shape to dress. You may look good naked but if your clothes aren't a perfect fit you will look like a fat, rectangular shape). I just hate when I'm trying to look for "curvy" blogs or "curvy" beauty gurus and I find blogs and gurus who are in reality, rectangular shaped.
