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!

Its about confidence. some ppl weigh 200lbs and look great. I think she looks cute. there is no rule on bathing suits. Not everyone can have a perfectly toned body, that shouldnt stop u from wearing what you want. To the haters..worry about yourself, dont judge, just love, after all that is the answer. Ladies dont body shame. Build eachother up♡♡

She looks great. However, she needs to stand differently. She looks like she is in need of the ladies room. Clean your room!

why the number 200 pounds....i live in the Netherlands and we use KG. how much or little is 200 pounds.....how can a woman who is 180cm tall and have average breast en butt only weigh 200 pounds, she will be under weight. This girl is ok, healty and pretty. Look if you are only 120 cm tall and you weigh more than 200 pounds , than you are obese.....this girl is NORMAL

The funny thing is mostly all the people that are judging 200 pound people are less than 200 pounds and they are judging them HOW RUDE!!!

Is she okay showing her body to the internet? I mean, she's so pretty but what about safety reasons? This doesn't mean she loses her job right?
