Fat and Active? Yes You Can!

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER

May is here! While some of us are excited, some of us are dreading the season where the sun is plentiful but clothing is scarce. We’re doing that double-take in the mirror wondering if our bodies are ready for the Summer. I am here to tell you that it sure is!

If you’ve crushed your goals, kudos to you. If you haven’t then that’s ok too. I would also like to remind you that a body goal isn’t something that’s needed. Loving your body at whatever stage it’s in; is.

This issue will focus on just that. Being active regardless of your size, shape or perception. There are some stereotype shattering articles in this issue I hope will change how you view what society has labeled “normal.” There’s also ideas that will help you get up, get out and get moving. Looking for inspiration? It’s all in here. All in all, we want you to know all the amazing things your body can do whether it’s a size 12 or 22.

As you get out there, I would still like to remind you to do so safely. When and where you can, maintain a safe distance and practice CDC recommended health precautions to keep you and your family safe. For all things plus size friendly, don’t forget to visit the events page for exciting upcoming events that you don’t want to miss.

As always, thanks for your continued support and enjoy this month’s issue of Shapely.
