She says: “It’s time to stop body shaming other people.
“I was at Disneyland today. I wanted to have fun with mysiblings, but our day was ruined by all the people who were making fun of the size of my body.
“And the worst part is, they teach their kids to do the same.
“They kept taking photos of me, they gave me bad looks all the time, or just kept laughing at me.
“I know you may think that I am exaggerating and that it’s my fault for being a big girl, but this is literally what god gave me.
