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.

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.

You should wear what you're comfortable wearing. End of discussion!

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.

That's what I thought too. Unless she's 6 feet tall, she's nowhere near 200 pounds.

You really may be wrong but also you may be right. It's really stupid that nowhere isn't mentioned how tall she is. It will never look same if someone with 150 cm, and 100 kg wears the same type of clothes as someone with 180 cm and 100 kg. THEY FORGOT TO MENTION (on purpose ?) THE MOST IMPORTANT THING! I'm sick of that

You have really nice legs. I weigh less than 100 and I'm trying to gain weight, body shaming can go both ways.

HA! I bet they're trying to cling on to their boyfriends & perhaps don't want them taking a fancy to this girl! It's jealousy, I bet! Why else would those girls be so mean to such a nice girl like that? Tsk-tsk... 😏

When I was a scrawny youth I used to think 200 lbs was big. I became an adult & realized the people I always thought were that weight were actually much bigger. 200 lbs is still big, but it's not what I call heart attack fat by any means.

I think those of you complaining about her weight and attire should ask a few grown men what they think of a BBW SHes hot and i know plenty of men whom i dated sexxi as f**k men who dated me because they love Big Beautiful Women! So eat your words losers~~~

OK, I say that she's about 16, 5'5" or 5'6", 140-150 at most. Clearly, she has a positive self-image, which will be her saving grace as she grows up. May she become the wonderful person that she deserves to be. You go gurl! -Dr M

She looks great! And pls, this question is not to offend - just for me it seems tht her right tigh is heavily photoshopped, at least where the short ends, it looks so.. sharp and unnatural. I just wanna know if others see this too, or my mind is playing games with me?

I think its funny that people will comment or shame a bigger person but the skinny people who are so skinny they look disgusting get a free pass.

Firstly she isn't over 200lbs. Secondly even if she was ...who the hell cares? She looks great, and happy. Stop shaming people because you don't like what ever it is you don't like..who cares what you think.
