Yes you are. You are the only one.

On a serious note, "curvy" has come to mean any variation of bodies with extra flesh.  The problem is that an aspirational meaning of curvy is a woman with large firm breasts, small waist, and pronounced hips and bottom. This woman is also assumed to have slender arms and legs, a flat stomach and a slim back.  Furthermore, it is also assumed that this extra flesh, where she has it, will be very firmly attached to the bone, not subjected to gravity, will have a very firm consistency and no noticeable cellulite.

Very few women are built this way in real life, and when they are, they are this way only for a few years while they are young.  If this describes you, rejoice, you are one of the 1% women on the planet.  Enjoy it while it lasts.

The majority of women who describe themselves as curvy are indeed fat.  The glamorized version of "curvy", read "fat" models you see in photos ("see! this fat woman is beautiful, sexy and confident!") have been airbrushed within the inch of their lives to remove all signs of gravity and cellulite. Ergo, you do not see that their arms jiggle, that their bum and thighs are ripply and covered in cellulite, and that their stomach rolls move with them, usually with a 2-second delay.  That type of curvy is not attractive at all. Unfortunately, it will account for the majority of women who title themselves "curvy" and will be better served by the harsh but true assessment that they do in fact have extra weight, and that they will in fact look better and be healthier if they lose it. No it's not your breasts. [/quote]
