The fat girl danced and tried to rid many of the “I don’t dance” complex
After an unsuccessful battle with obesity, which only led to huge problems with self-esteem, Whitney Way Thor decided to let go of shame and love herself for who she is. Her video series is called “Fat Girl Dancing,” and it's her way of showing people how to show self-love. This fat girl has posed a real challenge to those who have prejudiced perceptions of others.
Instead of continuing to be ashamed of her body, Thor (with the support of other dancers) decided to make a video of herself dancing. This series of “fat dances” quickly became very popular among viewers, marking the beginning of the whole “being fat is not a shame” campaign. Today, Thor continues to dance, showing that one should always remain active and not be ashamed of one's body. Whitney, through her example, reminds other women that they are who they are and what they do, not who society perceives them to be.
