The idea for this blog came to me as I was searching for other Curvy-positive, inspiring blogs and found some positive, but also judgemental and overly critical ones. I wanted to start a “Revolution” of positive thinking, loving ourselves no matter our size, and helping to be part of a movement of plus size acceptance.
While I agree with taking care of ourselves, the truth is we come in all shapes and sizes, and some of us will still be curvy no matter what we do or don’t do. So whether you love yourself the way you are and have no intention of dieting, or you’re starting to lose and still need some inspiration along the way, I hope that CGR can be a positive place to see that you’re beautiful no matter what!!

I’m a size 14-16 and other girls call me fat. I have big hips a small waist and tummy and large breast and there’s nothing wrong with that.
I may only be 14 years old but i’d rather curvy with a full figure than a bag of bones.
We have pretty much the same body type. I know it can be difficult when you’re in school and you’re the only one anywhere near developed, but hang in there. I can tell you from personal experience that you’re not the only one who realizes what an awesome gift you have in your figure; the girls who tease you realize it too! When I was in high school I was teased about my weight by my classmates, but I focused on being healthy and ignored them. It concerned me but I figured that the right guy wouldn’t care about what I looked like. When I got in college and out of that close-minded circle I realized that I was the attractive one! I even had a male friend from high school who finally lifted the curtain and explained to me how jealous everyone was without my ever realizing it. Those curves were a blessing and, as my hormones balanced out, gave me an advantage no one else had: a beautiful, natural, healthy figure that men are genetically engineered to look for! Boyfriend sure likes it.
Now I work in clothing sales and I absolutely love my job because I can show women of all body types how important it is to accept the blessings God has given them- ANYONE can LOOK beautiful because EVERYONE IS beautiful. It isn’t about your size or your shape; it’s about being comfortable in your own skin and celebrating yourself every single day.
I’m so happy that you are maintaining a positive attitude! Keep it up sweetie, remember: you’re beautiful

Hi…I stumbled upon this blog by chance and I am very happy that I did. I have always been a big girl and have never been happy with myself because my size, but I am trying to get to where I love myself and my size and it is good to know that there are girls out there who love themselves and prove that having curves can be sexy. I hope that I can be strong enough to quit listening to the media and other people who say that I have to be a size zero to be pretty. Thank you so much for having this blog!! It means soo much to me and other girls out there!
HI!!
I’m glad you found us too
Thanks so much, your words mean alot!!
This is an absolutely splendid blog and I am happy to have stumbled across it. Cheers.
Thanks and welcome
I love myself and I love that I’m big because I know that when a guy’s with me he’s with me because he loves me not because I’m a size two and all of his friends envy him because I’m so “hot”. I recently have been trying to find Glee shirts for plus size girls because I’m a TOTAL Gleek but I can’t find any! And I was feeling really down. As I was searching I oddly enough stumbles across this blog!
You have a great attitude!! Welcome, glad you found us
Thank you for your lovely blog! I’m a curvy girl (always have been) who is just now starting to accept and sometimes even enjoy my curves! I’m really enjoying this new attitude and have been delighted to find sites like yours. Have you seen the Bettie Page Clothing line? I love that style for it’s emphasis on curves! I haven’t ordered a dress from them yet, but I’m saving up to buy myself one as a treat
You are so welcome, I’m so happy to hear you’re embracing your beauty and fabulous curvy self
And yes I LOVE Bettie Page clothing, hopefully I can get something from them soon too!
Take care!

Thank you so much for having a place people to actually feel like they are beautiful no matter their size. I’ve had issues with my body for awhile now (anoerxia..) and ive hated that i was too big to be small but not big enough to feel ‘plus sized’. and felt that ive never had the face to be beautiful. seeing so many confident women has helped me actually realize that Im beautiful at the weight im at right now, and that there is nothing wrong with embracing my curves. Although most dont consider a 5 to be ‘plus sized’ i dont consider a 10, 15, or even 17 to be plus sized. I wish people stopped using those terms to discriminate women. We are all beautiful (with or without curves) and love it if the world would stop marking us by the numbers we wear and more on the personalities we have.
Again, thank you so much. what you have done has boosted me up as a person and i hope to continue to advacate that being you isnt bad. being someone else is. thank you:)
Oh this brought tears to my eyes! Thanks so much for your comment, it really made my week

Curvy Girl Revolution is truly inspiring. I have been a curvy girl all my life. People in my life use to say things that made me feel like I wouldn’t or couldn’t be beautiful unless I was skinner. Until I met Tyler! He tells me I’m beautiful every single day! It’s men like Tyler and blogs like this one that have really helped me learn to love my curves. I am a size 12-14 and proud of it!
Thanks so much for your sweet words! You have a wonderful attitude and you’re both blessed to have each other

I love this! I’m a big girl and always have been. Yes there are frustrating times as a big women and it can sting when you realize that because you’re big there are obstacles, but I have always felt that my confidence and pride in the women I am will out shine my shape. Thanks for starting this revolution for women who have curves and are proud to show it!
Thanks so much! Glad you love us
I stumbled here and I love it. I’m a 14-16, extremely top heavy woman. The fashion industry cares nothing for women of my shape. I’ve been called fat my entire life because most of my clothes are baggy loose up top because nothing is made to fit me. I’m a super healthy vegetarian who works out 5 days a week. I’ve been thin before and I literally starved to stay that way. In the past year or so, I’ve decided, I’m beautiful. I want to eat and be healthy and comfortable. I wish the fashion industry would wake up and provide for us. Don’t even get me started on the lingere companies. Lane Bryant doesn’t even carry my cup size, yet their clothes are supposed to be for bigger women. It would be a glorious experience to walk into a store and try on a bra… any bra, even an ugly bra. I made a comment about VS and how I thought it was funny they provided push up bras and not larger cup sizes and I was told that women with smaller breasts needed somewhere to shop too. I didn’t even reply, people don’t understand. I can’t go to JCP, Macy’s, Dillard’s, etc and find a bra I have to shop online. Wake up fashion community, there are dollars here to be made. I spend a fortune on bras from other countries, when will the stores be in the USA?
Wow! Preach it sista, I love it!! Thanks so much for your comment…hopefully we will have more clothing options, sooner than later.

Thank you so much for this. Mostly I love me. But other times I look at my super skinny sister and think: why couldn’t I get those genes? It’s a hard battle in today’s society, especially with all the films and ads shoving photoshopped queens in our faces all the time. But I like being curvy. The best compliment I’ve received was: “You give really good hugs, because you’re so squishy.” Viva Revolution!
Aww I love this!! Thanks for posting!
Thank you for this blog site. You created such a beautiful space to represent such beautiful, sexy, and righteous women! Im so excited and grateful to have found this
I swear, I instantly felt more beautiful after looking through all the pictures. I go in and out of feeling “accepting” of my body, but I wish there were no fluctuation at all, and rather than an “acceptance” how about a celebration and deep appreciation, hello! I don’t read beauty magazines and still I succumb to the dominant view of beauty at times… Thank you curves, I know my boyfriend does
Oh thank you so much, your comment made my week!
I also fluctuate in and out of acceptance and love for my body, we’re so sorrounded by the images and warped views on body image telling us we’re fat, of course we will have days where some of that negativity seeps in. Hopefully, this site and all the other body positive sites out there can help make a difference.
Thanks again
I am happy to be here. I have been struggling with accepting my body image for a while now. I am happy to see such beautiful & sexy pictures and I do appreciate my curves. Keep the curvy revolution going!
Yay! So happy you’re here too

At my school if your not skinny and tall your not pretty enough. I am a little curvy, but only a size 2. my thighs are larger than the usual double zero size. because i am a tad bit lager with a big butt, guys don’t become interested in me. and especially when your good friend is a model at vogue and forever 21. by the way im only 15.
Curves Are Beautiful Be Yourself & Live
Hi I am a lifetime big girl. At the age of 51 I have been through a bunch of growing experiences. I lost alot of weight – I gained it all back +. I got married, had a baby (don’t ever let anyone tell you that if you are not a skinny girl you can’t have a baby) and been divorced. I found myself again at 48 only this time I was older, wiser and much stronger having survived 20 years of abuse in my marriage. Wiser: because I had finally learned that you don’t have to settle on a man because you are afraid that he is the only one out there that will ever love you – trust me there are a bunch of men out there that want a woman with some meat on their bones. And they are all ages not just the old guys. After being with my soul-mate for 4 great years, I find myself a widow and on my own again. This time I relish everyday that I have and am trying to make the best of each day. I am dating again and am positive that I have many years ahead of me. Whether I share it with another man or just my great friends or family I will know that I AM A BEAUTIFUL, STRONG, FUNNY, SPECIAL, AND SEXY WOMAN. And I want to thank you for being here for all the girls who need you. I was helped by a great magazine call BBW when i was young and blogs like this will help others to come.

Joy-thank you SO MUCH for your kind and amazing words, you’re a true definition of what it means to get better with age, with confidence and grace! You rock, thank you for being here!!

Hey; i am so glad for this site. I am 18 years old and have big hips, big butt, boobs and thighs. My stomach looks big but its not really. I weigh 150, and i look skinny and carry my weight well. I am also so happy because my boyfriend tells me all the time he loves my body. But sometimes i feel fat, i tell my self i want to diet but then i think that my BMI is only higher up because i carry a lot of muscle and i don’t have much fat. I’m still trying to come to grips with either getting skinnier, or stay the way i am. I just need the confidence boost. I have a love hate relationship with my curves. In today’s society everywhere you look there’s people skinny.
But…There is BEAUTIFUL GREAT women out there that are beautiful and curvey.
