It’s difficult to feel happy about your body amidst all the pressures on body standards often created through social media… are you summer body ready yet?

In response, a movement has sprung up called body positivity designed to make people feel happy about their body regardless of what shape or size it is.

The movement is spearheaded by some Instagram influencers, such as Megan Crabbe (@bodyposipanda), who post pictures of their own “bigger” bodies in order to encourage their audience to feel okay about theirs.

This is often met with backlash about them glorifying obesity as their weight could be perceived as a health risk which they are promoting to an audience.

Messaging into Evie Appleson’s Sunday radio show, listener Ollie said "I totally support making people feel good in their own skin’ but ‘If you are really overweight, or severely underweight" then "we shouldn’t be promoting those images to people!"

Evie took a different approach - listen to her response in the clip below!
