In Harper's Bazaar, tennis star Serena Williams talked about accepting her body.
In the August issue, Serena says that growing up, she always wanted to have a body like her sister, Venus, but is now happy about what she has:
"I'm supercurvy. I have big boobs and this massive butt. She's [Venus] tall and she's like a model and she fits everything. I was always fitting in her clothes, but then one day I couldn't."
She admits that she's never dieted but is constantly working out, hoping to trim some of her thickness.
"I've been doing Pilates and yoga, trying to lean out my body so I won't be bulky," she said.
Isn't the "bulkiness" what we love about Serena?
As for what she is accomplishing on the court, over the holiday weekend, it was just another day at the office for Serena.
Williams easily swept Vera Zvonareva 6-3, 6-2, on Saturday to win her fourth Wimbledon title. The match took 67 minutes, and Williams continued to prove that she's one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
"My dream was able to come true," Serena said after the match. "Everyone's dream can come true if you just stick to it and work hard. This one is very special."
To put it in perspective, of the last 11 Wimbledon tournaments, the Williams sisters own nine of the titles. This was the first Wimbledon final that Serena did not have to face Venus.

I think to many women over do it at the gymn and if not careful they are mistaken for men, you can over do it, swimming is another sport that can broaden your shoulders, it's best to be lean and mean, men overdo it all the time with body building yuk!the best sport is probably kung fu
What's the big deal America? Alot of us black women are very curvy...I love my curves, wouldn't trade it for nothing...Embrace who you are my lovley sisters...We are and will continue to be envied by so many....
I THINK MEN WHO LIKE STICK THIN WOMEN ARE GAY. WHY WOULD A REAL MAN LIKE TO LAY UP WITH SOMEONE WHO IS SKIN AND BONES? NO BUTT NO BREASTS. IT MAKES NO SENSE.
A COMEDIAN MADE A JOKE ABOUT MAKING LOVE TO A SKINNY WOMAN. HE SAID IT WAS LIKE MAKING LOVE TO YOUR ELBOWS.
SKINNY WOMEN WITH NO BUTT LOOK JUST LIKE MEN FROM BEHIND.
I think Serena has the PERFECT body. She's got the booty and the boobies and most importantly NO GUT, In which alot of black women get mixed up alot on. Being curvy is not having a gigantic booty and a gigantic stomach to go along with it. Thats obese, fat, or in a more eloquent term "voluptous". All of you sistas out there who say that you got the curves and is stretching out clothes at Lane Bryant, take note at Serena. Then head for the gym. Not hating, just being real.
Walt... "I ain't mad at cha".....if I had Serena's body everytime you saw me, I'd be naked. I am plus size, but I know my limits, I take pride in my appearance, and I am complimented daily. But as I said I know my limits....I won't wear spandex, period...even IN the house. Now I am working on me, with hubby's encouragement, he is a nurse so it's all about being healthy. But because I have that emotional support and a husband who loves me unconditionally...I am looking forward to a healthier me.
