"Woman Shuts Down Men Who Fat-Shamed Her At The Beach" . Yeah, In your dreams. Men and women will still belaughing and making jokes about her the next time she comes to the beach wearing a bikini. Sorry to burst your bubble, but this kind of people doesn't give a f*ck about your powerful responses and it won't change their appaling attitude against other people. Now downvote me.

When I go to the beach, I'm envious of the women like you. Im 28 years old and have never been comfortable enough to wear shorts or a bikini. my husband has started to make a unkind comment before to other women (not directly) but I stop him and say "I wish I had confidence like her" :) I've learned that a body size never defines a level of confidence. Period. You go girl :)

If you have time to worry about someone else’s fat or diet then you’re just wasting time that you could be worrying about your own exercise. No, not everyone is going to look how you like. That doesn’t mean you have to pay attention or be negative. Most of us could be doing something to look better in one way or another and yet we don’t. So why expect such big things out of bigger people? Please. What’s wrong with people being fat anyway? It only makes you look thinner tbh. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m kidding. But still. What kind of loser spends their time crying about SOMEONE ELSE being fat? What a depressing existence. I’d rather be happy about good things in my life than cry about someone looking chunky.

What a shame that those guys will probably never see this post.

It's not accurate or fair to say that she waits in the line at McDonalds. I have almost the same body as her, except for the legs. My body is a result of a thyroid disorder. Unfortunately, no amount of medication or diet can correct the weight issue that comes with hashimoto's. Hell, I even have the lapband and it hasn't even helped that much. I just don't gain anymore. But saying that, she could have found a better bathing suit. I like to wear two pieces too but I choose ones that compliment my body type (high waist bottoms etc).

Love yourself and ignore the trolls

To everyone hear reading this, you are beautiful. Maybe not on the outside yet, but on the inside too. Maybe even both. Don't starve. Don't cut. Don't die. You are not a painting. You are not on display. You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to listen to insults. You are worth it. Keep going. <3

No trends or perfect images should ever hinder our ideas that we were all made beautifully. Women should be allowed to do what they want without feeling insecure, and it is unnecessary to show bodies that are completely fake in magazines, TV shows, or anywhere in general as if they are perfect and real, because, yes, people do believe that those body types are achievable, and attempt to gain that body type while endangering their health. This woman is strong, and knows this, and we need more people out there that stand their ground in the face of unfair treatment. This woman is a hero, and I hope her confidence continues to inspire others.

we are all glorified worm-food anyway. on the one hand we have people "upgrading" their limbs/body parts with bionic appendages and on the other we have specimens trying to measure the world with a tailoring tape. gah. just shut up and let others wear, eat, feel whatever they want to!

No matter how healthy I ate or how much I exercised, my stomach never looked flat and "beautiful". I was 12 when I was first told that it is ugly and I would never find a partner. Both became self-fulfilling prophesies. A couple of weeks ago - 24 years later - I found out that I have endometriosis. It causes me to sometimes look pregnant, sometimes like I just ate too much. It won't go away with diet and exercise, because it is a lifelong, painful illness. I have never worn a bathing suit or been to a public beach, and probably never will, because my suffering body would end up as a meme for some self-centered teenagers (either in age or mental capacity) who don't know what it is like to stay up for entire nights as an alien is using a cheese grater to find a way out of your guts.

At least the ones that point and laugh have managed to label themselves as unsuitable husbands. I know men that have divorced wife after wife because her body got, for lack of a better word, more plump after having a kid or two. They always felt like the wives should have kept themselves lean and fit. Meanwhile, these same men do little to help in the raising of the kids or maintaining the house..even when the wife also has a full-time career. They often run off to hang out with friends. Those men have no idea what true love is. It's sad really. I just wish those women could have seen what they were truly like before they wasted their time on them.

I think you’re beautiful just the way you are. You only need two things to wear a bikini - a torso and a pelvis. If you don’t have both of those you’ve got bigger problems than swimwear. I would have punched them and kicked sand in their stoopid faces if they’d said that to me. I’m 42 years old and a size 18 and I don’t even OWN a one piece swimsuit any more. Bikinis are way more comfy!

I love the inspirational comments! But never would I wear a bikini. I get a “sand wedgie” oh an funny stuff i saw a rather large woman shaming another m (smaller) woman cause she was wearing a bikini like whaaaaat

The fattie shut nothing down. Maybe if she stopped shoving food into her mouth and went for a walk, she would be able to wear a bikini without looking like a pig.

Men will always find something to criticize about women. Women will never be pretty enough, or slender enough, or smart enough, or submissive enough. Lots of guys claim to be the exception, but are silent in situations like this. If there really were as many good men as claim to be, the bad men would be ashamed to show themselves.

im 6ft 250lbs i wears my two pieces my man likes it lol

The funny thing is that these men probably did not have ideal bodies either. I'm thinking beer bellies with toothpick legs.

If I imagine how many fat guys with no neck, bold head,hairy backs,barrel sized beer bellies and wretched thin legs. I must say we women are very tolerant!

Judging people by looks has always been stupid and it's still stupid. Mind your own business, leave others to enjoy life

I didn't even open the article cause the title in itself made me ill.... First m'en and other women woukd of done that to her, but mostly why not change the title to something more empowering as opposed to subjecting women to men's ideologies.... Like she had to prove a point to men... Who cares about these low life men who sexualité women and are there to touch themselves. Why isn't the camera turned around to show who these mysoginistic men are instead.

If you're cool with letting the blubber hang out, go ahead.

I'm sure people will read into this wrong, and I must say before i start, no one needs to be made fun of or degraded in anyway. But, are these people really happy with their bodies? Or is that a lie they continue to tell themselves to mask their unhappiness? I'm not saying everyone needs to be take thin, ripped 6 pack and. But a little self control and exercise are a good thing.

Well, I wouldn't make a statement by baring my body if I was ashamed of it. But I would never extend my personal decision to other people. Everyone should be able to do with their bodies anything they want without being laughed at.

Judgemental idiots will stay that way. Just shrug, say f*ck them, and get on with your life. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and everyone has their own standard of modesty. Wear a bikini if you want. Wear a burkini if you want. Either way, someone is going to criticise you for it.

"The men who pointed at her laughing". I doubt that ever happened. I have never ever experienced someone openly pointing addy a fast person. Also from my experience it's mostly women who judge other women for their clothing.

I agree that people should do as they please etc... Isn't this a bit extreme? As a chubby girl myself I take pride in the way I carry myself. I still wear "stylish" clothing and feel sexy but don't feel the need to draw attention to myself. You gain a positive self image within not by being the centerpiece of controversy. Everyone is never going to agree on anything so why set yourself up ?

Why does BP have such an obvious pro-fat agenda? It’s an incredibly unhealthy lifestyle you’re promoting!! Starting showing some responsibility!

First, there was no proof offered of anyone "shaming" her. Second, she isn't "curvy", she's obese. Hey, if she wants to be, that's on her. Her choice. But stop trying to mainstream being grossly fat, which is very unhealthy.

Seen the pic. I thought it was a story of rescuing a beached whale. Dissapointed that it is just another grossly fat human who wishes she was beautiful.
