'My size is none of your business': The woman who sparked a debate on beauty after Facebook picture in her underwear


Be proud of what ever size God has given you, what ever you think about yourself matters most.  "This is the photograph which sparked a debate among thousands of people and challenged opinions on beauty and size.
Stella Boonshoft originally posted the picture on her Tumblr account, The Body Love Blog, before it was picked up by photographer Brandon Stanton and published on his photography site Humans of New York.
Since it was posted on Thursday, 455,000 people have liked the picture and it has been shared 20,000 times.

Stella admitted that her first reaction was to 'burst into tears' when thousands of people started looking at her picture and she contemplated taking it down.
She decided to leave the picture online, where the overwhelming majority of comments have been supportive. 
Stella said:'I know what I am trying to do, which is help young women struggling with their body image and expose the hypocrisy and cruelty that is sizeism, is SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT whatever feelings I may have about myself."
