A touch of inspiration porn, but these are all real people dealing with body-shaming in their everyday lives....
https://goo.gl/qkFSdjChronic illness can alter your body in ways that aren’t always easy to come to terms with. And while you’re working to accept changes like weight fluctuations and scars, other people may pepper you with questions and comments that make you feel even more self-conscious. But that isn’t fair — people with chronic illnesses have the right to feel confident and proud of their bodies and know they’re still beautiful, inside and out.
So we rounded up 9 awesome people with chronic illnesses who had some powerful words to say to those who have shamed them for their bodies — and to fellow “spoonies” who may need some encouragement in feeling confident in themselves. These are people who spoke out against criticism and judgment, and showed the world having an illness doesn’t make you less beautiful — perhaps words you need to hear today. We’re giving them all a virtual fist-bump.
