Faye is curvy
Professor Snuggles:
It's the internet, dude.
Plus, the best reason to idealize a "curvy" character is because she makes you feel better about your own fattness. Even though she's really fairly normal looking, maybe a little squishy, the fact that she is a fat chick in the world of the comic makes all the girls who eat their feelings find her hella relateable.
Trust me.
Fatties.
Jace:
The man posting above me speaks the truth. Honestly, she doesn't look much curvy, everyone else looks pretty skinny compared to her.

Theirs, I presume, is the result of a diet that consists entirely of Red Bull, cocaine, and petty bitching. :-P

What the hell? The entire point of diets, and half of the health industry is based on the fact that you CAN HELP YOUR WEIGHT. Even people who are skinny and tiny, if they eat a highcarb diet and go to the fitness to work this up into muscle can gain weight. And if you weigh too much it's nothing exercise and a decent diet cant help. Why else would people with the obesity gene (not the trait, but the real gene) be able to stay among the skinnier of the fatter people? If not by working out and eating healthy they can manage their weight (even though they have a disease that makes them fatter).
and if you have a BMI of 29 just because of your muscle mass, you aint no swimmer you're a friggin bodybuilder, lay of the steroids.

I didn't say it was all because of my muscle mass. The actual figure I got was 28.8, and I took the liberty of rounding up to 29. This was a couple years ago, and I actually had more bone mass in those days, which has since declined due to an extreme estrogen deficiency caused by a hormone-secreting brain tumor. :laugh: Thanks for reminding me! Anyhow, I was overall larger then. I have slightly less fat now than I did then, but I also had way more muscle then and somewhat more bone mass. Thus, no 'roids.
And I was making the point that SayWhat has tried eating, tried everything, and can't gain weight. There's no reason for her to go about stuffing herself just to do so, since her doctor says she's fine. I wouldn't point to the popularity of diets as an indicator that one can "change". I'm with you on the morbidly obese, but some people are just skinny and shouldn't have to stuff themselves.
Did I just rant? I think I did. I'm sorry, internets. I'm sorry for ranting.
Oh, and more to the topic at hand, Faye's physique seems to change a bit over time. Normally, though, she looks just fairly curvy-ish. Not particularly chubby, or at least not to the point that she shouldn't visit an elephant seal colony during mating season.

By getting a high-carb/high-protein diet and a lot of time in the gym you will create muscle mass. The only reason this wouldnt work is a complete lack of bodily functions that turn energy into fat and visa versa. SayWhat will never be chubby even if she follows this for years, but I'm quite sure she can gain enough wait and still not be required to overly stuff her face.
and if faye goes to an elephant seal colony I think she'd get mauled by the other females before getting some
SayWhat:
Apparently, I'll get chubby when I hit about 35 or so. *shrug*
I do some light working out, as much as my doctor tells me is alright (blah blah insert lame medical condition here). My issue though, is that I don't want muscle weight, I want curves. Squishy squish woman curves.
I want them. And by god, I will get them one day.
Till then, I walk/jog and lift light weights. I also like to hike and kayak. Kayaking is fun. So is swimming. So I'm skinny, but doc says I'm otherwise healthy and it isn't 'completely necessary' for me to gain 20 lbs, though he'd like to see me with, as he says "more body fat."
:oops: My goal weight is 115-120 lbs, being curvy, not muscle. I'm toned enough, I just want some squishy curves to go with it.
Squishsquishsquish.
