These Plus-Size Influencers Are Proving That Body-Positivity Is Not A Facade
Time and again, people have been flaked a lot by so-called fitness freaks about how body positivity doesn’t go with the idea of being fit and healthy. There legit existed a time when only models with a certain height and body size were included in the fashion industry, but slowly the definition of being fit is changing. Though we have a long way to go, people are accepting the fact that not all big bodies are unfit, and not all thin bodies are fit. The issue of weight and nutrition is such that you can’t categorically call a person fit or unfit, especially just by looking at their body type.
Body positivity runs on the ideation that there are tons of body type that exists and treating every body size equally. The concept in no way means promoting an unhealthy lifestyle or being okay with staying unfit; of course, it is important to stay fit but not because you want to look a specific type but to actually stay fit and healthy. There are innumerous girls who have starved themselves to please society and match up to societal norms of being fit, but body positivity instead promotes that there is nothing to feel guilty for having a certain body type, and it’s okay if you don’t belong from the ‘thin and light’ section of the population.
While we all can relate to the weight issues, the section that gets the most body-shaming comments are the plus-size influencers, but it seems they all are on a spree of promoting the idea of being happy in your skin and making the world a little less judgy place to be in. Here are the influencers that are promoting body positivity. TBH, it’s crazy, and this world needs them desperately.
