#7 Go where you’ve never gone before. If you’re familiar with the new hit reality TV show on TLC called “My Big Fat Fab Life,” you will probably understand what this means. In short, the show follows an overweight woman with polycystic ovary syndrome, who had a dance routine video on YouTube that went viral. The show focuses on her health, her dancing her way to being fit, and most important of all, her ability and desire to face all the bullies and negativity by standing up for herself.
For example, in one episode she decides to finally go to the beach, which she hasn’t been to since she was like 8 years old. And not only that, she wears a two-piece. Sure, she might be large, but she’s tired of hiding who she is. She finally faces her fear and stops worrying about others, and lives her life for herself. And she doesn’t just go to the beach: she goes swimming and has a freaking blast!
She is a breath of fresh air, reminding everyone that just because someone might be fat does not mean they are lazy or not trying. We never know what anyone else is going through, and it’s time to take a stand and stand up for yourself! She’s a motivation to us all, big or small.
