Sometimes you can get a good idea of your actual body shape by lying down on a big sheet of paper and having someone draw round you. From your description, I'd say you were a pear shape, but you'll get a much better idea if you just look at an outline, if you get what I mean - sorry - I know it sounds odd, but it does work - honest! You can do the same by standing in front of a mirror and having someone draw round you as well (with a dry-wipe pen). I saw Gok Kwan do it on the tele.
