I would love to be part of the the size-zero-backlash backlash. How many times do we have to remind people that just because we're fat, doesn't mean we hate skinny women? YES.

Otherwise we'd take all that time and energy we direct toward body hatred and use it to change the world. And boy would the People In Charge HATE that!

There are so many articles, videos, blogs, and anywhere where there is plus size praise, seems to often come hand in hand with some type of negative undertone of another body type (usually skinny or straight figures, flat chest, etc. ) I don't know why this happens, maybe in even further attempt to make the target audience happier and feel good about themselves? But it's not necessary. We can appreciate curves without criticizing the boyish figure. We can praise plus size without bashing size 0. Now if all of us with actually start doing that more, it would be great. Those photos are stunning! I’m so glad that someone else questions why there is so much backlash.

Why can't we all just be Team Happy With Our Bodies, No matter What Size It Is? Oh, and the pics are totally hot.
