This past Friday three woman stood in front of the New York Public Library stark naked and painted for the eighth anniversary of a photo-activism campaign called The Adipositivity Project. Photographer Substantia Jones, the brains and beauty to all this, painted these women in front of lunch-goers and passersby to celebrate fat bodies and works to combat size-ism. Jones works to help fat women accept themselves and for society to stop using the word "overweight," as it encourages expectation of an "acceptable weight limit." She collaborated with local NY artist Andy Golub to put on one of her best presentations yet.

While being interviewed she stated, "We're here promoting body love...I want people to love their bodies and let other people love their bodies."

Many people who saw this expressed that this was a brave act, and the fact that Jones wasn't embarrassed or afraid was truly inspirational. I agree with this completely. It's beautiful and pushes people to have an open mind. When society says something isn't normal they label it with words to make you fear them. The term "overweight" for example is a term that is meant to make fat people ashamed of their bodies. What's wrong with being fat, I mean if you're happy and all? The answer is nothing. Nothing's wrong with it.

Golub, the artist who has been collaborating with Jones for years and painting bodies to express this positive movement, stated, "Society expects people who are fat to be ashamed of it, but when faced with people who are happy to show off their naked bodies to the public, they find themselves in uncharted territory." Well for all you people that are at a loss? Not knowing what to do? Don't do anything. Unless you're going to cheer these people on, don't do a thing. Stop trying to break down these women's emotions. Let them be happy.

This is what needs to happen in order for size-shaming to be eliminated. We need to stop judging others based on their weight. Simple as that. Don't worry about them, worry about yourself. Because nothing you say or do is going to change a thing. What might happen is you might cause these women pain. Now why would you want to cause pain to someone?

Beauty is everything. Beauty is everyone. It's all different shapes and sizes, and I believe that once society truly sees that, everyone in this world will be able to be a little brighter, and a bit more positive when it comes to physical appearance.

I am not the skinniest chick on the planet. At all. Honestly, I'm fat. I'm insecure about my body, but who isn't nowadays. I was taught by my family to love myself for what's on the inside, not on the outside, but growing up I was surrounded by a population of females who were always skinnier than I was, or always prettier than what I perceived myself to look like. It's tough to get past the fact that no matter how hard I try I will never look like all these Victoria Secret models that are plastered in every magazine, or Cameron Diaz and Kate Hudson on all the billboards on my way to work. But it's acts of positivity like these that make me realize I shouldn't be upset with how I look. This Body Movement helps you understand that it's okay.

Now I'm not saying that after reading this, you'll be happy with a snap of your fingers, it's going to take some time. But it'll make you more positive.

Love yourself for what's on the inside and not what you look like. Don't be ashamed, be happy.

And thank you to Substantia Jones and Andy Golub for promoting a positive movement to fight against the haters and spread love for oneself.
