'Fat Girl' blogger shares bikini pics and video jumping in pool to stop stigma
A SELF-STYLED 'happy fat girl' is rapidly becoming an online phenomenon thanks to her blog which publishes pictures of extremely overweight women in their bikinis... to proudly showcase the varying shapes and sizes in the plus-size community.
Corissa Enneking, who runs Fat Girl Flow blog brought together plus-sized women like Kelly Lynn
Corissa Enneking also filmed a video of herself jumping into a pool in slow motion to try and rid the world of the stigma of being overweight.
She was sick of seeing the same shapes and sizes of plus-size models who were supposedly representing overweight women across the globe.
She claimed all models in the plus size industry not really plus size at all and were white, under 30, on the smaller side of fat, able-bodied and evenly proportioned.
Getting sick of feeling that advertisers' version of "being fat" was exclusive to one gender, race and age, the bonnie beauty set up her own blog, Fat Girl Flow, and took to social media.
She said: "I've been a part of the fat community for about five years now (though I have been fat much longer than that), and one thing I am certain of is that this community is shaped by a very wide variety of individuals.

"So the question is how do we create representation for people? Well, we create spaces to say 'THESE BODIES EXIST AND THEY ARE AMAZING'."
Since creating the blog on June 23, a bevvy of voluptous females have sent in their photographs posing in their swimwear to show the variety of the female form.
The collection of 22 snaps is titled 'We exist: Diversity is Plus Size Bodies'.

Ms Enneking said it was for the "beauties with huge bellies and tiny legs, and the babes who can't find their size even in the plus size section, it's for the hairy babes, for the double chins and double bellies.
"The diversity in this community is endless, and it's our responsibility to make sure that all bodies are represented and celebrated."
