In today's society, about 97 percent of girls are unhappy with their body. I'm not surprised at all. We all envy how hot and perfectly in shape the Victoria's Secret models are every year during the fashion show. Every magazine and runway uses size-two or below models to show off their fashion. Don't even get me started on how superficial and shallow boys can be, even though most of them have dad bods. Girls have become so self-conscious about their bodies and it's really disappointing. I have been pretty curvy most of my life and I've learned to love it. Sometimes I wish I was a couple sizes smaller, but at the same time, girls wish they had my curves. Being curvy is actually kind of awesome. I work pretty hard on my body, not only to get into shape, but to stay in shape. I hit the gym at least three times a week and try to eat as healthy as possible. But I also really love pizza and queso, and can you blame me? Being curvy is a blessing, but it's also kind of a struggle.

1. An outfit becomes "sexy" just because it fits your body. I can't help it if something ends up being skin-tight on me, and I don't need to size up because then I would look like a sack of potatoes.

2. You can never order the right size when online shopping. Most of the time you have to order two of the same thing and then send back one, or maybe both items, because it doesn't fit right. And sizing charts don't really help like we think they do.

3. Nothing fits you properly in all the right places. Maybe it's too tight or too loose on the arms, or the pants fit at the waist but not at the calves. And the worst of them all is when you have the gap in between your back and the pants.

4. People preaching that you should be comfortable with yourself. While we appreciate you trying to boost our confidence and help us accept the size of our body, it doesn't really matter unless we believe it ourselves.

5. You know when you will never be able to wear something. I can't tell you how many times I have been shopping around in Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe and I find a cute top or dress, and I immediately put it back because I know it won't look right on me like it does on the mannequin.

6. You stay clear of all jeans that don't stretch. Jeggings and leggings are our best friend. We prefer to wear yoga pants and leggings because it's easy to put on and we feel more comfortable.

7. Jean shorts are just chafing denim underwear. There's nothing wrong with showing some skin, especially in the summertime, but damn do we hate jean shorts. More than likely we have that same gap between our back and the pants. But the worst part is when they ride up. It's always uncomfortable and we constantly have to readjust ourselves. And we can put as much lotion or baby powder on our thighs as we want; we know it won't work.

8. Being referred to as "big-boned." No. Just no. Please for the love of queso, do not call curvy girls "big-boned," because it sounds like a slap in the face. Some girls may struggle with thyroid issues or girls work hard to be fit, and every girl looks different. Always remember, if you aren't saying something positive or letting her know she has toilet paper stuck to her shoe, keep your comments to yourself. Something said in five seconds can stay in their head for five years.

9. You can never borrow friends' clothes because they won't fit. You know how your closet is full, but you still feel like you have nothing to wear, and then you think you can just borrow something of someone else's, and then you remember that none of your friends are the same size as you and you just have to settle for what you have.

10. Trying to maneuver through chairs and tables is hard. It is definitely a struggle trying to get through chairs and tables when your hips bump literally everything. And forget trying to get side-step to get to your movie theater seat without your butt in someone's face. Sorry, these hips don't lie.

11. Dresses and skirts creep up your body while walking. If you are wearing something the hugs your body in all the right ways, have fun pulling down your dresses and skirts because you constantly feel like your butt is about to show, and there's really nothing you can do about it.

12. Your butt always hangs out of high-waisted shorts. I love high-waisted shorts and I don't intentionally try to have my butt hanging out, but it's hard to keep all the honky-tonk contained. High-waisted shorts also tend to ride up. We aren't trying to show off our fat bottom, I promise.

13. Constantly tugging up your strapless bra. Again with the tugging. Strapless bras and big boobs just don't work well together. Even though we buy our exact size, it never truly fits and we look stupid pulling up our bra every five minutes.

14. Using your boobs to hold stuff. It's actually pretty convenient. It's a good place to keep some cash, your ID, and even your phone. No pockets? No worries. Your bra is there to lend a helping hand. Sure, some people think it's weird but they don't get to have this privilege.

15. Button-up shirts always pop open. You'll have to size up if you want to wear a flannel or a button-up blouse to an interview because more than likely the middle will have a small gap where the world can catch a little side boob or the shirt somehow unbuttons itself.

16. All sales have left is XS. Who doesn't love bargain shopping? But that struggle is very, very real when all the mediums and larges are out of stock (*cough* Victoria's Secret *cough*) and you leave the store or the website disappointed as always.

17. When a "curvy girl" song come on and they all look at you. Yes, I do know "Fat Bottomed Girls" or "Anaconda" is playing and you expect me to dance to it, but that doesn't always mean that's how I would like to be thought of all the time. But thank you, I think?

18. Having a hate-hate relationship with Spanx. Every girl hates Spanx, but curvy girls really hate Spanx. We have to go up like two sizes in order for Spanx to work their magic, but to also be able to breathe because that's more important.

19. You learn to embrace not having a thigh gap. Sometimes not having a thigh gap stinks (read #7 and #12), but recently I've learned to embrace that I don't have one. There are definitely downsides, but I've learned boys tend to like girls that don't have thigh gaps, because they tend to have thick hips, which means a thick butt to accompany it. There's nothing wrong with not having a thigh gap.

20. Shift dresses make us look boxy. Like I said, we tend to know what type of clothes will and will not fit us or what we would look good wearing. Unfortunately, as cute as shift dresses are, they don't accentuate our curves at all and give us the appearance of looking like a walking box with arms. Another one bites the dust.

21. There's no stopping the jiggling while running. Curvy/thick girls don't look graceful running at all. We still do it anyway, but there is no stopping our jiggly thighs coming down the track. It's fine, it's casual.

22. You have to try it on before you buy it. About 95 percent of time I have to try on clothes before buying it to see how it looks on me. Some girls just know their size and how it will look/fit, but us thick girls know not to fall for that nonsense. Out of eight items, we end up buying two or three because those items make us look good, and when you look good, you feel good.
