A CURVY mum, previously trolled for ”punching with her hot hubby, has vowed to show off her tummy in figure-hugging outfits.
Brooke Sherbert, known as Raising Romey on Instagram, first hit headlines after sharing the backlash she receives for her relationship with her buff partner.
Despite being together for over a decade and sharing two kids together, the stunner still hears comments from fat-shaming trolls.
The mum-of-two claimed that she often hears people ask: “How did she get him?”
But despite being told that because she is ”big” she is automatically ”punching” with her husband, Brooke has pledged to proudly show off her curves in slinky clothes.
The mum, who doesn’t believe her tummy should be hidden away, demonstrated that everyone can feel confident, no matter their size and shape.
Taking to the popular social media platform, Brooke reassured her fans it’s acceptable to have a curvier tummy peeking through your clothes.
Posing in a figure-hugging midi dress and a comfy shirt on top, the fashionista said: ”Just here as your reminder that it’s ok if you can see your stomach in clothes.
”It doesn’t have to be flat to wear a tight dress.”
The response to the positive and uplifting post suggested that people agreed with Brooke, who boasts close to 33k followers on her page.
One user commented: “This is me today. Gone for a day out, walking around feeling uncomfortable with my mum tum, but then I think ‘sod it – who is actually looking at me?'”
Another chimed in: “Yep, yep, yep.”
A third also wrote: “I just can’t do it… I wish I could.”
Speaking about her close relationship with husband, Brooke previously pointed out that the marriage goes deeper than appearance.
“We have seen so many versions of each other, we have shared so many memories, been through so much together,” Brooke said.
“I have grown and given birth to our babies, twice.
In addition, “commenting on a person’s clothing, body hair, eating habits, make-up skills or attractiveness” could be constituted as body shaming too, PsychCentral explained.
While body shaming has become more of an issue in recent years, a study conducted by Glamour magazine in 2000 found that a staggering 97 per cent of women surveyed admitted to having an “I hate my body” moment.
And those who shame people about their figures can include doctors and medical professionals too.
A 2019 report found that more than 3 in 5 adults encounter “weight bias” from their doctors – particularly those who are obese.
And body shaming someone can have massive effects on their mental health, and could potentially lead to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, eating disorders and self-harm.
If you have been body shamed and are struggling to deal with the effects, you can call the Samaritans on 116 123 for confidential, emotional support.
“We have been there for each other through the lowest lows and the highest highs.
“We are each other’s family and home, forever and always.”
The mum-of-two also shared a message to nasty trolls and keyboard warriors who comment on other’s bodies.
“To the faceless, nameless people that think it’s OK to speak like this to strangers on the internet, I really hope you get the help you need to get out of that dark hole.
“Do some inner work and reflect on yourself rather than project onto others.”
