A TRUE STORY BROUGHT TO YOU FROM @mythriftedcloset INSTAGRAM CHANNEL.

There is a plus sized model on IG whose page I love and have
followed for a long time now. Recently she posted a picture from a photo shoot
of her on a boat in a swim suit. In her post she was telling her followers that
just a few moments after the picture was taken they got into a terrible
accident when the boat hit a reef. The captain was thrown from the boat and she
hit her head on the side of the boat resulting in a suspected fractured cheek
bone.
Thankfully no one was more seriously hurt.
The post went viral largely because of what happened in the
comment section of the post. 1 person said if she wasn't so fat she would not
of hit her face so hard. Another person said someone as fat as her should not
have been allowed on a boat. One person said she was stupid to go on a boat
trip seeing as she is so fat, she could have sank the boat. Another said he
wished she had of died then he would not have had to see the digesting picture
of her in a swimsuit.
As someone who has never ever been slim I want to say
this....
- Being fat does not make you unintelligent
- Being fat does not make you unemployable
- Being fat does not mean self confidence is off limits to you.
- Being fat does not mean you hate yourself.
- Being fat does not mean you are unhealthy.
- Being fat does not mean you do not have the right to wear certain clothes.
And being fat absolutely never ever means you don't deserve
to live among the rest of the human race.
STOP JUDGING people based on their size.
You cannot make
assumptions about what a person thinks or feels or what their lifestyle is
like.
If you see a plus sized person how do you know they are lazy?
How do you know that they are not on their way to the gym?
Why shouldn't they put on a swimsuit and go to the beach?
Why should they deny themselves a life to make YOU happy?
Who are YOU in the grand scheme of things? What makes YOU
more valuable a human being than someone who is fat?
