BBW ??? - Qualifications

LaneyDoll · 10-05-2011, 10:20 AM

Hmmm, these are my thoughts about how the terms relate to me personally. So, I hope I do not offend anyone...

I do not like the term "thick." To me it implies that I have big bone structure which I do not. I also do not like the term BBW but I will use it since it is (seemingly) understood universally.

For me, I have a hard time recognizing my weight issues. When I was a teenager I was 5'6 and 125 pounds of boobs, butt and big hair. And I worked out a lot so I had muscle weight and minimal fatty tissue. But, my dad & stepmom compared me to my 5'1, size 2 stepsister-and I came up short in those comparisions. She was the beauty of the house and I was the smart one. Then, I never really saw me as who I was and still have trouble doing so. (It never ceases to amaze me what loving parents inadvertantly do to their kids).

But, since I am much larger now, "BBW" does apply although I prefer the term "dangerously curvy."

When I was cyber-dating I described myself as a BBW, and my brother (of all people lol) told me that I didn't fit in that category. The more I saw on the sites, the more I tended to agree that the term seemed to be used to self-describe women who were plus-sized. I'm at the upper end of commercial sized clothing without going into the plus sizes, so I began clicking the "a few extra pounds" category.

Personally I consider myself to be fluffy.

["3"]I use the various terminologies; BBW, Rubenesque, Cuddly, Curvy, Full Figured, Large and Lovely, Fat, etc. I've never like the term 'thick' to me it suggests NO curves and the body shape of a tree trunk! NOT very sexy! LOL!

I've been fat most of my life - I come from a family of fat women who are also tall (Polynesian and Italian) and tall Norwegians. My weight and size have NEVER been an issue for me as I've always been physically active with competitive (yet, I'm not competitive by nature) swimming 800 and 1500 metres freestyle and Yoga.

Earlier this year, my size and weight saved me from a lot of damage when I had an accident - my fat protected the part of my Spine with Spina Bifida.

I really DO hate the fetish Fat Admirers - [As I said in the BBW thread, I do admire BBW for their soft curves, but, it's NOT a sexual admiration. I also admire slender women, too. For me, it's the love of the female body shape an curves - I see what Rembrandt, Boticelli, Matisse and Rubens saw in the artistic beauty of a woman's body......A sensualness of love, life giving and nurturing essences. /SIZE]

I'm in the difficult middle ground when it comes to clothes shopping....too big for the regular stores, too small for the "big" stores.

Generally an 18, sometimes a 16....depends on the cut.

My issue is that I have a very large butt, that sits rather high (okay....it's the truth

) and anything that fits my ass does NOT fit my waist, so I tend to favor dresses and skirts.

I go with curvy.
