I'm confused. There are all these different terms for various body types: pear shape, hourglass, apple shape... I don't know what type I am! Explanations on the internet are often vague -- do these generalisations apply to all women? I'm not sure where I fit in.

Let's see, if it helps... I'm 164cm, 52kg, with a well-proportioned chest (relative to my body), fairly narrow waist, large thighs and hips (but otherwise slender limbs, e.g. arms), just a bit of belly, and... umm, a well-rounded backside. Does anybody know what body type I am? (link)
Why worry about what body type you have? We're all so different and we change as we age. You might have been a very slender child, but now you're a girl, with the dreaded "baby fat" who will change into a woman who goes through stages. Embrace each of those changes, love who you are not what you look like. And puhleeeeze, don't compare yourself to women in magazines who have been digitally altered and airbrushed !! Eat right and exercise and please yourself first and foremost.

Well, I still have baby fat, and admittedly it vexes me. =P I'm just curious really, but yes, your are right in what you say. Thanks. =)
