I've been aware of this thread for a while, but I've never summoned up the energy to respond until now.
I guess I have a different take on this. I, too, am tired of the term "curvy" being used to describe fat people. I have a "curvy" figure at my "best" weight (which I am not at right now , so I'm not trying to "fat-shame").
Anyway, if you just look at her from the waist up, she looks normal to me. Look at the size of her head, her body is almost small in comparison. Her stomach is flat. The thing is, is that she's disproportionate in the hip/leg area. If she dieted that down, her upper body would probably be somewhat emaciated. She is toned, it's not like there are big blobs of fat.
Anyway, she is a large-framed woman, for sure, but I don't think she is horribly obese or anything. I've seen many other examples that I would actually take umbrage with. lol
I agree... She is technically obese according to the BMI scale, but she doesn't look sloppy and gross like Lizzo. And you can technically be fat and curvy and skinny and curvy... since curvy is a body shape.

Yep. I'm slim and curvy. I'm tall but have a small frame. I can't describe myself as curvy because that seems to be "code" for fat. I'm 5'8". My BMI is 18.7.

Yeah, I also notice that bigger women tend to get upset when thin women describe themselves as curvy...like they own the word.

The woman quite beautiful but only 26-year-old. Unless changes are made, she will likely get bigger. It's not unusual to see an overweight person under 50 riding a motorized cart because they can't walk around my local supermarket. It's not only the heart which has to work overtime when a person is severely overweight but the knees too. The knees are often the first to go.
I had a co-worker who lost his license for a year yet continue to drive to work. I thought he was taking a significant risk and didn't understand why. Then I realized it was because of his size. At least 200 pounds overweight.
He couldn’t walk the distance to the subway station to say nothing of boarding a packed train.
Why do they insist on calling someone who is fat "curvy"?
I don’t know, probably the same reason we call a man beefy or large or a teddy bear instead of saying he’s fat or doughy or he looks like he’s carrying twins. To save feelings, IOW.

Yeah that's true... even if you gain weight in the "right places," it will take a toll on your health eventually and make it more difficult to get around..
