First, there's no such thing as being big-boned, everyone's bones are typically the same size. Fat, as previously said is being obese and overweight. Whereas being thick is more like being proportioned differently. Someone who is thick is not overweight and usually has thick thighs and a rounder butt usually accompanied by a smaller waist.
Examples of thick women:
Buffie the Body
Esther Baxter
Melyssa Ford
Vida Guerra
Ki Toy Johnson

I'm fat, so I'll answer.
Bone structure is more of a frame size issue. It has nothing to do with being fat. The "big boned" claim is just nonsense, really. Having large bone structure means you are probably taller, and your bones themselves may be somewhat larger, but not much more than someone who has smaller bone structure. Consider the difference between a typically tall person and a typically short person. You can imagine that difference might imply that a taller person might need slightly thicker bones to hold up the larger frame.
Bone structure has nothing to do with fat, however. A person who has more body fat is just that. There's no connection between bone structure and body fat composition.
I've been overweight my entire life, and I don't mean by a few pounds. I accept myself for who I am. I wish I was thin, of course, and believe me I have tried, but I don't try to blame my overweight position on my bone structure, which also happens to be large.
I hope this doesn't offend anyone who is overweight. I've learned that facing the truth about my situation helps me to have a healthy disposition about it. I see it as it is - a difficult situation that has been dealt to my partly by my bad habits, partly by genetics, and partly by society. My own accountability comes first and foremost, though.

There is no difference. When someone says that they are big boned or thick they just think that their fat is cute.

Fat is fat......just that jiggly over skin, fat deposits, when your fat content in your body is more than your weight...when you walk your thighs touch...fat is fat, you know what fat is...
But to be big boned, as some might call, it means your bone structure prevents you from being petite...which means your body might be thin as a rail, yet your bone structure makes you thicker...does that make any sense?

There is no big-boned. It is just a term that some fat woman came up with.
It's like an ugly person came up with "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

People have different size frames. Fat is overweight or obese. Thick is curvy and a little extra meat.

none. Big boned is a polite way of saying, "fat broad". So is "thick".

Fat is the stuff that jiggles when you walk, that hangs over your belt, etc. And you got that way from eating the wrong things, over eating and not exercising.
Big boned means your frame (bone structure) is larger. Look at your wrists, are they small, med. or large? And you got that way from inheriting it from your parents.

Being thick means your butt is bigger than your stomach and for the fat people its the opposite way

Everybody has seen a girl that is big, but that does not have large portions of fat in the stomach/arms/butt area... these girls are big-boned.
There's nothing wrong with either of them... I like big girls.
