Girl Shares Her Boyfriend's Body Shaming Messages Online, The Internet Helps Her Dump Him

Body shaming is not cool. Whether someone's thin or fat, shaming someone for their physical appearance is unacceptable. Being comfortable in one's own skin takes a lot of courage for those who have been ridiculed and bullied for their size. It takes acceptance and self-love to reach that stage and no one, I repeat, no one has been given the right to shame such amazing people.

But sadly, it was the case for Shelby Johnson who had a history of being overweight. She did lose some kilos to reach a healthy body weight mark but her boyfriend saw it differently.

I have never had an eating disorder. My entire life I've been unable to hold a high weight. I had test after test run and the doctors never figured out why. In 2014 I was 90 pounds. Since then, I have gained and lost. But for the last 2 years I have kept a steady weight of 110. Sometimes going up to 115. I used to be so self conscious about my body and how thin I was. I still have my days where I feel incredibly thin and wish I was bigger- but I am overall the happiest I've ever been with my body. For all the women out there who struggle with body image issues, I understand and I hope you find peace like I did. It was a long journey but it was so fulfilling.
