There is been a lot of discussion in recent years about body positivity and embracing the person that you are. We even have many influencers who show us exactly how to do it.
One of the influencers that does this in an interesting way is very popular on social media. She is from Panama and recently, one of her videos went viral after she tried to fit into an airplane seat.
Many of her viewers were familiar with the discomfort associated with flying on an airplane and being a larger size. There was then an ongoing discussion about the need for airplanes to provide additional seat sizes so more body types are able to fit.
The influencer from Panama who started the debate is Gracie Bon. She is known for her voluptuous curves and argued that the passenger should be responsible for conforming to the seat design limitations.
After posting the video, there were arguments on both sides. Some were praising her for being positive about her own body and others were criticizing her or even questioning why she had such a shapely physique.
Gracie was questioned directly about former plastic surgery, and she did say that she had a tummy tuck after losing a lot of weight through diet and exercise. She even shared before-and-after pictures to show her weight loss and the fact that her curves are natural.
The ongoing discussion shows the need to consider body positivity even further. Although it doesn’t appear that it is going to have a solution at any time in the near future, there is a lot of passion for the subject.
