Let’s get confrontational.

Bodies are not straight angles.

Everyone has curves.

Let’s stop using “curvy” to replace “fat” - Please.

FAT IS FAT, PEOPLE.

DON’T FEAR THE FAT.

I’m always down to get confrontational. 

I can’t say that I’m for or against this. Fat, as a word is harsher than the word Curvy. I specifically remember in my English class we learned about words and the type of consonants that they have can either give them a positive or negative feeling. Fat, has a harsh ‘t’ sound, automatically giving it a negative feeling, while Curvy just happens to flow off the tongue and sound more positive to the ear. It’s just like skinny is given a negative feeling, whereas thin is a better replacement. It all depends on how you’re speaking about the subject given. I personally like to refer to myself as a curvy girl because I like the way that it sounds. To each their own and different strokes for different folks.

Think about it. Curvy is misleading. It makes no sense. It doesn’t accurately describe anything.

So what if Fat has a harsh sound to it?

We shouldn’t be afraid to use words that accurately describe our bodies in their truest forms.

My belly is thick and FAT. My thighs are chunky, wiggly pieces of flesh speckled with cellulite. My waist is voluminous, my back rolls are prominent, my ass is meaty and my arms are chunky.

Look at all those ugly words!

The negative connotations attached to these words do not need to exist. We can reverse the negativity attached to them by reclaiming them in positive ways.
