#FatGirlsCan Video Aims to Educate, Inspire

Remember that horrible fat-shaming video shared by unfunny YouTube star Nicole Arbour?

Consider the following to be the opposite of that.

Created by writer and activist Jes Baker, the PSA is dubbed #FatGirlsCan because that’s the message Baker wants to pass along.

"We are told that if we are fat, we can"t," she explains. "But the reality is – we can."

Baker details in the footage how individuals are taught that "fat" is a bad word, and how the size of one"s body simply precludes them from doing certain things.

The video project is in conjunction with Baker"s book, "Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls," which will be released next week.

"What was the ultimate thing that no one tells fat girls?" Baker told HuffPost. "My answer was: that they CAN.  

"They can find love, they can win Emmys, they can whitewater raft, they can have healthy pregnancies, they can ride roller coasters, they can break fashion rules, they can be professional dancers, they can be rockstars, they can have amazing sex, they can, they can, they CAN.

"And I see it every day. And the best part of this message is that it applies to all bodies."

Amen! Watch the video now. And don"t be ashamed if a few (dozen) tears are shed as a result.
