Brave women are fighting against body shamers with #FatSideStories
It's no surprise that people have taken to social media to clap back against body shamers. In an effort to fight against body stereotypes, one model recently posted photos depicting before and after photoshop.
Another mom posted the truth about post-baby bodies, while this woman talked about frustrating body ideals.
This new social media trend, which uses the hashtag #fatsidestories, is another opportunity for women to fight against unrealistic body stereotypes, and express the hardships they've faced just because of how they look.
Many of them we're truly heartbreaking.
