This just turned into a rant, lol.

hehehe this is a little ridiclous but I can't help it... I'm pretty much on the verge of tears and I have a lump in my throat because someone called me chubby... Is it just me or is the word chubby extremely offensive? I was tormented for a period of time in my life and had many problems due to this word. I am a healthy BMI and in my range but I am still curvy and always will be. Now theres a word that doesn't offend me... curvy, or womanly. If having hips makes me "chubby" than I am disgusted with the way our world looks at figures. *sigh* sorry, this is turning into a rant. I can't seem to help it, I worked so hard to build my esteem up, worked out, and gain control of my health and I thought I had conquered those things that made me unhappy. I guess I will never stop caring what others say. I think it is only so offensive because I actually tried to escape that judgement... Do I need a therapist or what? lol
What words offend you? Am I the only one that finds chubby offensive? I'd rather be called healthy, real, curvy, womanly... chubby just an ugly word.

 

Chubby is not a nice word. I think you're sexy. I'm gonna call you Dreadie Monroe.

 

if you're chubby, I'm obese

I personally don't have much problem with the word chubby. Probably because I often describe myself as chubby or pudgy (I am a round gal, there's no way around it), but having someone call you that (especially if it's someone who isn't a friend)... that's just rude and inconsiderate on their part. Curvy is far more complimentary.

 

earthy_mama i can honestly tell you ive always thought youve got one of the most beautiful bodies ive seen! youre gorgeous! definitely not chubby or fat, so feminine and beautiful curves!

 

I think I prefer chubby to pudgy or *shudder* chunky. Chubby to me means curvy in a cute, attractive way. But if you've had weight issues before then I definatly don't blame you for being upset. Even so, you are definaltly NOT "chubby" or anything, so you should smack whoever said that.

 

i dont mind the word chubby but im sorry that you are upset hun

 

Aww Eryn. Screw that! Chunky or husky is definitely worse sounding than chubby. I understand being upset but it's nothing to worry about. Every girl is considered chubby unless they are like 95 lbs these days anyways. (Especially by guys)

 

exactly! i take CHUBBY as a semi compliment.. it just means you have some meat on your bones and look well.

 

lol thanks for the cheering up guys. I'm over it, just a stressful day. Your right though, could be worse... I could be CHUNKY or PUDGY lol

 

i absolutely HATE HATE HATE the word chunky... it makes me think the person is describing me as a peice of meat or something... ::shudder::

 

makes me think of chocolate chip cookies.... *sigh* being a reference to eating too many sweets, uncontrolling diet, fat fat fat...

chubby doesn't really offend me.. i am chubby. i've always considered chubby to mean kinda cutely plump i guess.. not fat, but like a little girl kind of baby fat kind of cuteness... that's what chubby has always meant to me... seems the word has changed meaning a bit since i was little though...

 

I'm so sorry Erin! I didn't think my thread would ever offend anyone...

It's just my personal belief that we have to take back and make positive the words that offend us...Slut...****...Chubby...They need to be made positive...so they don't hurt anymore...

It was my way of helping...I'm sorry it backfired...You're too beautiful to be upset by something like this

 

aww no I understand and that makes perfect sense. I'm just being too sensitive I think. I'll lighten up lol

 

oh yay! Time for hugs and hot lesbian thoughts

 

aw, I think you're beautiful! And so is every woman in this forum.

 

woo hoo my fav time of the day!

 

I'm all for it! I'm a lonely gal and lord knows, no one can love quite like a woman...We are just the greatest...We should all be lesbians

 

Actually, I think I have just gone off the deep end hahaha..,.

 

BMI=nothing. Me and "the rock" have almost the same BMI it really doesn't mean anything.

 

Damn you all for your hatred of the word chubby
