FAQs
What is the main difference between fat and curvy?
"Fat" refers to a body with excess levels of body fat that can increase health risks. "Curvy" describes a body shape with indented waist and wider hips regardless of overall size.
Can you be fat and curvy at the same time?
Yes, it is possible to carry excess body fat and have an hourglass curvy shape. The terms "fat" and "curvy" are not mutually exclusive.
Is it bad to call a fat person curvy?
Referring to someone with high body fat as "curvy" can misleadingly suggest that excess weight is harmless, when being obese does raise health risks.
Can curvy bodies be unhealthy?
Curvy bodies may store more fat in the hips/thighs. So curvy women can still develop obesity-related illness if overall body fat gets too high.
How can you embrace a body you're unhappy with?
Self-care through proper nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress relief can help you feel better in your body. Surround yourself with supportive people who appreciate all body types.
