There is a group on Facebook called something along the line sof 'Curvy girls are better than size zero girls' or something equally inspired....however, although the title is rubbish, I know where the creator is coming from. What is attractive or sexy about starving yourself until you look like a lollipop? Not to mention the havoc it wreaks with ones menstrual cycle/skin/hair/nails etc. No no no, sooooo not a good look.
So anyway, lots of us 'curvy ' girls have put photo's up on this group, nice photo's , celebrating our curves and our right to have them. Now, this is the bit where the lines get fuzzy. I am a curvy girl. You only have to look at my profile pics to see that. I am also a size 12. If I go up to a size 14, or at a push, a 16 , I will still be considered curvy. If I simply cannot say no to that 10th slice of cake and go beyond the boundry into 18 plus land, I am FAT. Yep, I am saying it, FAT. Sorry ladies (and men) but if you are that big you are unhealthily over weight and that really is all there is to it. On this Facebook group, it has caused quite a stir, as the board has been inundated with pics of really really fat ladies calling themselves curvy who in thier own way are just as bad an example to young girls as the Lollipop brigade. In the same way that it is stupid and rather disgusting to starve yourself, it is stupid and rather disgusting to stuff your face too.
Ok, rant over. I'm pretty sure I shall have lots of cross fat people having a go at me now..........
