Plus size influencer who needs two seats on planes shares what she eats in a day to shut up trolls telling her to ‘go on a diet’
A plus-size influencer who is so curvy she needs two seats on a plane has hit back at anyone who has an issue with what she eats.
Gracie Bon rightly was recently “living her best life” on a trip abroad.
The 28-year-old revealed that trolls tell her to “go on a diet” regularly.
In an effort to normalise enjoying whatever food you want – especially on holiday – the influencer decided to share what she eats in a day with her 10.3m fans.
The clip has over 2.8m views so far with people praising the model for her openness.
“What I ate on vacation as a plus-sized girl who doesn’t count calories and loves to eat,” said Gracie.
“First we’re going to start light with a tortilla soup, then the pasta.
“You can clearly see that I love my carbs.
“Then I ate three tacos because of course, I was in Mexico.
“All the time, people tell me to go on a diet so here I am drinking water because it’s healthy, okay?”
“I don’t need permission to eat what makes me happy.
“I’m just a girl living her best life.
“I had a pizza at the end because I wasn’t full yet.
“So remember, life is short, eat what makes you happy.”
Gracie, a Panamanian model who lives in the US, also added: “By the way I eat whatever I want because I’m not going on a diet to make you comfortable.
“I love my body the way it is and I’m not shrinking myself to fit someone’s idea of beauty.”
Many viewers online complimented the model’s looks as well as her attitude.
Allegra said: “Eating never looked so good.”
Mika said: “I love how everyone gets mad with envy and comments a lot of shit. To be honest it amuses me, but girl you’re beautiful.”
“She is an amazing, beautiful woman,” added Rafael.
Ybel said: “Love this caption. So true.”
“You keep being yourself as long as you love you it doesn’t matter who doesn’t. They don’t put food on your table. [You should be] proud of the way you carry yourself and not scared to show off your curves,” Ruben added.
However, some trolls also came out of the woodworks.
Steven said: “Eating too much is harmful to health.”
Another viewer said: “Plus size? The delusion is real. It’s obesity smfh.”
The model has previously spoken out about how her 55-inch bum has reportedly broken several toilets and how she was body-shamed at Disneyland earlier this year.
