20 Photos That Highlight The Beautiful Diversity Of Plus-Size Bodies

Corissa Enneking is here to remind everyone that there is a lot more diversity in the plus-size community than the few plus-size women we see in magazines and on the runway.

In June, the fat-positive writer and fashion blogger created a body-positive campaign that represented plus-size bodies of all shapes and sizes.

Although mainstream media has only recently incorporated plus-size women and plus-size fashion, the type of plus-size bodies that are featured are mostly "white, under 30, on the smaller side of fat, able-bodied and evenly proportioned," Enneking wrote on her blog, Fat Girl Flow.

Enneking created a callout asking plus-size women to submit images of themselves to illustrate the different body types that the term "plus size" actually encompasses. The results are a diverse range of beautiful plus-size bodies.

Enneking explained why she created the project to The Huffington Post. "It's easy to look at a size 14 plus-size model and celebrate them for their curviness. And while I applaud anyone who cares about body positivity, the people who are really making waves and moving this community forward are the ones we often don't celebrate."

"It's the people who continue to feel under represented that keep us thinking of how to be inclusive, and what fat positivity means," Enneking told HuffPost. "It's those people who continue to challenge our thoughts about being 'acceptable' in society who are really pushing the status quo... I want to help those people's voices be heard, because they are saying some amazing things!"

On her blog, Enneking wrote that she wants to remind all fat women that their bodies are "worthy of representation." "Being fat is not exclusive to one gender, sexual orientation, or race, and it doesn’t discriminate based on your physical or mental capacities," she wrote. "Being fat is something people across cultures can experience, and even people who are not fat can identify with body image issues."

Preach, lady.
