Where do you want to be curvy Petal? Do you have a "boyish" frame, as in small bust, not much of a waist and small hips and thighs? Also, how old are you?
As a male, I prefer a very slim, no curvy female.
No disrespect to curvy ladies, its just my preference.
I do hate seeing Ladies showing their midriff hanging out with low waisted jeans etc and small tops, and especially showing their thongs/knicker tops. : - )
Well I would say you are lucky to be toned. If at 46 you are still slender, then it's unlikely your body shape will change. Once you reach the Menopause, then you may find you gain weight in places you don't want.
You could eat lots of fatty foods, but this doesn't guarantee you will get curves where you want. The extra padding may deposit itself on your stomach and waist and and because all these unhealthy foods have lots of saturated fats, you may get cellulite, not to mention increasing bad cholesterol levels.
Nigella Lawson these days, looks rather overweight. She looks to be a good size 16+, but we rarely see those massive hips, because her lower half tends not to be in camera shot. (No offence to anyone with massive hips, male or female)
Velvetee, I hit the menopause , early, so am on HRT already. I have also had 4 children, so really am in pretty good shape, I put it down to the many hours of Jane Fonda exercise videos I did years ago lol
Well be glad you're a fit lass. I strive everyday to maintain a lean, muscular frame. I have to be careful what I eat and exercise at least 3 times per week, or it all goes to my thighs and bum.
I agree about the genes. We're all slim in our family - on the female side. My mum's in her 60's and looks brilliant for her age. Hardly any wrinkles either, so if we're all blessed with a good skin as well, it can't be bad.
