The human body comes in many forms, hence the diversity of this world. Every individual has their
own skeletal structure with different distribution of fat and muscle dispersed. Until adulthood, this frame is under construction and change, until finally one arrives at the same shape for the rest of their life.
There are eight different body types for woman:
Pear body type: The hips are larger than the bust and the waist slopes out to the hips.

It is good idea to understand your body type for your health. This can be especially true when it comes to diet and exercise and preparing a strategy that will be best effective for your particular body type. No one is completely bound to any one type of body shape. Lifestyle, genetics, history, and training all attribute to body shape. This means that is can be changed. Everyone has their views of their own body and the reflection they see in the mirror. Embrace your body type, as it is your own personal build, but understand that if you want to change what you see, the time, energy, and effort can be possible to do so. We need to love are selves as we are but not be afraid to work on the things we want to change. For a healthy lifestyle starts with your self-care it's better to work on small goals rather then ones, baby steps and you will get there.
