When it comes to body shaming plus-sized people, we should all take an example from Sara Petty - the girl who doesn't care what mean people say about her body image.

After noticing lots of tweets (not to her directly) saying that the beauty standards do not allow women over 200 pounds or those with curvy bodies to wear some clothes, Petty decided to make a statement and do the exact opposite. Even though body-shamers said women over 200 pounds shouldn't wear any revealing clothes, including leggings, crop tops, bikinis, and booty shorts, Petty wore is all and tweeted pics with the caption: "Girls: Wear whatever the hell you want." And you know what? She looked freakin' beautiful in every single outfit! Petty's tweet has gone viral since with over 119k likes, 103k retweets, and tons of people sending messages of support, and thanks for sharing some body positivity.

Alright guys I don't think she's the best example to get this message accross, but she is in no way at risk of heart disease if you pay attention to thw circumference of her waist she's probably healthier than you haters are.

Forget the trolls and shamers. She's beautiful and way better than plastic! Also, she does have a good body. There's no shame to that!

    The only wrong thing is telling ppl that they can't wear something bc of their weight :)

    If you're body shaming you're just an a*****e and you deserve 200+ pounds of Piano to be dropped on your head.

    Nothing wrong with this child. I am sure the reason they say stuff like that is because they do not have what you have. You look good.

    I hate how people think they have the right to say what their opinion is on someone else's body. She has the right to wear what ever she wants.

    Leggings are a staple for me. Right now? Leggings and a tank top that covers my a*s. Why? Because these clothes DON'T HURT.

    I wear leggings but, at my age, I add a tunic type top to hide the cottage cheese thighs.

    If you are trying to fit your a*s, fat or not, into a crop top, you are wearing it wrong.

    What I find extra rude is that people won't make a racist slur, but it's fine to body-shame people who are fatter or thinner than themselves

    I'm sorry but these people that write these comments should be hugely embarrassed. To actually write such stupid, nasty things...we women should be sticking together, not telling women what or what not to wear...shame on these sad sad trolls that clearly have their own body issues. This girl looks beautiful in all outfits! You go girl!

    That's their opinion and I am going to respect it, which is more than they do to this girl. Let's everyone wear what they like and we all will be much happier. I'm worried about this world: why is it so difficult to be nice????

    You shouldn't be putting your a*s in a top, maybe that's why it looked so gross on you, Audra
