EARLIER THIS MONTH, American woman Sara Petty noticed somebody on Twitter saying that if you weigh over 200 pounds then a bikini isn’t for you.

She searched a bit more and found that it was a pretty common opinion out there.

So, she created four images and tweeted them out with the line “Girls: Wear whatever the hell you want.”

She told Huffington Post this week about how this tactic worked out for her:

I just did some quick searches and found a bunch of similar tweets, so I decided I could do my part to chip away at body shaming however I could.

Her four images included her in a crop top, bikini, leggings and shorts

Each one was uploaded with a selection of tweets saying that girls like Sara absolutely shouldn’t wear these things

They have been retweeted over 75,000 times at this stage

That’s a pretty strong showing of support, then

You’d have to class that as a categorical win.
