+1. I was self conscious of my curves as a teen. My opinion changed based on all the attention I got. Now I wouldn't want it any other way ![]() |
Like some other PPs have mentioned, I don't get curvy and womanly when I put on weight. It goes right to my gut and chin. I wish wish wish I had a waist when I carry 10 more pounds, but I just do not. I also have a ton of cellulite if I gain weight. I just have the build where I look better thin. |
Same here. I actually got more curvy when I lost weight because my waist got much thinner and I kept my boobs. |
I also wish I got curvy when I gain weight. I am a stomach only gainer and hate it. I like the brick term a pp used. The only way to have any "curve" whatsoever is being at the lower end of ideal weight range. Enjoy your curves, I like your bodies! |
Clearly too dumb to get it. |
Redundant question |
Agree |
I like my curves. When I lose weight, I lose my hips. Currently my stats are 34-26-36. I’m 42, 5’3” tall and weigh 125lbs. |
I feel like you always want what you don't have or have always struggled to get. I never had that crazy fast metabolism in high school, so pretty much the majority of my years have been spent just watching everything I ate because I knew there would be consequences if I didn't. I enjoy being thin now because I've worked for it. |
This is so true. When I put on weight, I become very apple shaped. All the weight is in my face, chest and belly. It's not a good look for me! |
I love being curvy but I'm on the thin side (size 2-4). I just have a high hip to waist ratio and medium large breasts, so I am an hourglass (at least normally...currently pregnant and in the process of losing my waist). |
I don’t self identify as curvy because I see lots of women with multiple fat rolls refer to themselves as curvy. I guess they are technically “curves”...
I’m an hourglass shape and love it. I’d rather be a couple pounds overweight with an hourglass shape than skinny with a brick shape. |
Same. |
I had the opposite experience people always complimented me when I gained about 10 lbs and I am size 10/12. |
I have big boobs but no hips. I hate big boobs. People think breast size is inversely proportionate to IQ. They’re also a pain when exercising, like a good sports bra is so hard to find. |
