In the first minute of her video, I was a bit taken aback and dare I say impressed that Nicole reminds everybody that her videos were never about anybody's beauty, implying the first video was not a slam to fat women's beauty but rather to their health. But honestly, I am tired of the fat = unhealthy claim. I'm also tired of telling people how somebody's weight is not any reliable indicator of his or her health.

"#bodypositive is full of it"
#bodypositive is not full of it, and neither is SI. They are separate movements and entities independent of one another.
SI's plus size model is not an accurate representation of the body positive movement any more than one page is representative of SI as a whole.
