People say I’d be ‘so much prettier’ if I lost weight but I couldn’t care less – I love my body & let my belly hang out
A CURVY woman has been told she could be "so much prettier" if she lost weight.
But the cruel taunters have taken on the wrong target this time.
May Ridts (@mayridts) couldn't care less what the bodyshamers think.
She loves her body and is going to let her belly hang out as much as she wants thank you very much.
May already has a huge following of over 613,000, where she makes a committment "to be kind.”
The response to this post has been crazy. So far there have been 594,000 likes and over 2,000 comments.
“The only beauty standards you should follow are your own and that’s exactly what I’m doing," she said.
She looked tanned and effortlessly stylish in a mesh suit from Meshki.
May makes clear she is very happy with her shape.
“Finally not trying to lose weight to feel pretty," she said.
“Just living my life and accepting my body through it," she added.
“You should try it some time.”
Across the screen in her video, she splashed the shamer's words in a caption: "You would look so much prettier if you would just lose weight."
She lip-synched her response, smiling throughout.
“Maybe if we wait just a little bit longer a f••k will fall into my hand and I can give it to you.”
She followed this up by thrusting a manicured finger to the camera.
Commenters loved her attitude and oozing confidence.
“You all remember that Aphrodite, the goddess of freaking love and desire was depicted with stomach rolls and not an hourglass figure," wrote one person.
“Me having the same body type you give me so much confidence. You are more than a perfect body/face/inner beauty," said a second person.
