SUPERRRRRRR Fun Story!! Yesterday my best friend texted me asking if I was on TV. I said Uhh no, not that I know of!

Apparently her step mom said she saw me on Inside Edition. She took a picture of her TV screen and THIS PICTURE from my IG was on there! They were doing a segment on #Fatkini and MY picture was included in it!! hahahahaha

Here is the link to the full segment if you're interested: http://www.insideedition.com/videos/2997-overweight-women-proudly-show-off-curves-in-fatkinis

I think this was an AWESOME segment that highlights a movement of women being unapologetic and accepting of their bodies despite society's standards of beauty.

So ladies- If you're so inclined, show off your gorgeous bodies in your #Fatkinis...Or not-so-fatkinis...Or whatever you wear that makes you feel beautiful!! :heart:

Here is another shot from that day! :flowerforyou:

    I'm totally kind of jealous of your self-confidence.

    You look amazing!

    Can they just use your picture like that? And not even inform you?

    if she used a website like instagram or facebook technically the photo is property of that website, so they would just need permission from them not the uploader.

    looking good OP!

    Bravo to you. lovely lady! What is with the usage of the word "fat", though?! Can they ditch that awful reference already?! Hopefully, with examples like YOU showing the rest of us how it's done this will be a turning point. Thanks for sharing!

    I posted that picture in a public forum. My profile is public for anyone to see. I know the risk of doing that- whether it results in something positive or negative. In this case I think it was SUPER positive. :drinker:

    There's nothing wrong with the word "fat". It's an adjective. I'm fat- That's a fact lol The word "Fat" is no different than the word "skinny"...The are just opposites. Yet "Fat" has such a negative connotation. In my opinion, the word "Fatkini" takes back control of the word...So then all the people using that word in a negative and hurtful way will have to find a new word lol

    I see nothing wrong with it :flowerforyou:

    I love that you took the commercial in a good way, I for one would be mad because they kind of stole the picture without asking. Nevertheless, you look beautiful and I'm so jealous of your confidence ♥:love:

    You look wonderful. I hope this isn't too personal but I would absolutely love to know where you brought your two piece. This is a problem only a fellow busty girl could relate to but I dream of a suit "top" where the bottom is under my "girls" rather than cutting me off midway in an uncomfortable and unflattering way. (and the pattern is so cute and funky!).

    Swimsuits For All or Monif C (WAAAAY expensive!) are the best for big boobies! :)

    Torrid, Asos Curve US and Forever 21+ had lots of them this year. Forever21+ had them for dirt cheap.
