Synonyms for ‘Fat’ that aren’t Cringeworthy…?

My (now ex) husband once described me as 'comfortably plump''.

I know someone who read "fat is a feminist issue", and proudly put on her swimming costume.
She strolled down the beach, and heard a little boy say to his mum "Uurggh! Look at that fat woman!" and decided not to get an icecream after all.

I recently heard someone using plumptious, which I rather liked ?

I say use the word fat. I am fat. I have all sort words I have used to describe myself over the years. I used round for a long time.
No more though I say fat thats what I am. I am not going to be body shamed anymore.
Now saying proudly I am fat !

I always told everybody I was economically sized and if I went shopping for myself, only the specialist economic shops I would use. Those days I was size 26 and when I slimmed down to a size 8, I’m now a stick insect and very delicate

plump and well- covered.

I say fat is fat. No point dressing it up. When I put on a bit of weight I say I am fat. It’s not shameful. It’s honest.

I call myself "traditionally built" a la Mma Ramotswe if I need a description. A vintage clothes sale group I am on used the term "volup" a shortening of voluptuous which I rather like.

Beautifully built.

In the winter I describe myself as 'well lagged', I also love the description of a larger lady being 'warm in the winter and providing shade in the summer!!'

I’ma size 30/32. I’m fat.
I prefer to describe myself as voluptuous. I said to someone recently, ‘think Vicar of Dibley with white hair’.

Beautifully upholstered ?

Curvy is lovely except I am pear shaped so not sure I can get away with that? I tend to say I am “not exactly thin”

In germany they have shops dedicated to the uberfrau…love it

My Sister in Law calls herself a 'Big Girl'. She's a Gran herself.
It makes me ? makes her sound like a teenager. But a nice way to put it I suppose

Just say 'I'm a big girl'

Voluptuous!

I was told I had childbearing hips and then I proved it by giving birth at 37 weeks to a 10lb 14oz son, naturally, no stitches etc.

Big boned does actually apply to me, I had a density scan done years ago. ?

I'm kind of lucky in that I'm 6ft tall, so my weight is slightly disguised.

I have been called a Real Woman and a BBW - Big Beautiful Woman in the past but here's a fun one for you Fanny ...

Your height has slipped to your hips

How's that one for size? (Please excuse the pun)

I am a plus size lady, or "I take a larger size?"

Buxom, Comely, apple shaped, a petite curvy

In Disney World language they call it “Pooh sized” - won’t suit everyone but a nicer way of describing us with a few extra pounds ?

An aunt of my husbands greeted him with : Oh you are very portly! He was.

In the States, the euphemism 'heavy' is used, as in "I am a little heavy at the moment".

In Disney world language larger people are described as “Pooh sized” - won’t suit everyone but probably a kinder word than lots of others ??

I don't think dress size is an indicator of shape/size.

A size 14 is a squeeze for someone who is short but 'heavy' but perfect for someone of the same weight but eight inches taller.

One would have to give height and weight detail to give a more accurate self-description - and who wants to do that?!
