Battling body shamers: Leah Stanley's unwavering confidence and love story defy online critics
Leah Stanley is a plus-size blogger who has been leading a happy life with her partner for a few years now. They met through a dating app and ever since their relationship has been a topic of much discussion online. Unfortunately, there's no shortage of people who doubt the authenticity of their feelings and do not hesitate to leave critical comments.
Leah Stanley is active on social media, managing a popular blog and Instagram account, which are enjoying increasing reach. This American woman has no complexes about wearing plus-size clothes and tries to convey to other women with similar figures that they are beautiful and valuable. She is proud of her body and does not hide that she is happy. She has found fulfillment in both her professional and private life. When she started posting pictures with her partner, some internet users criticized this relationship.
Leah weighs dozens of pounds more than the "average woman", which has become a reason for online hate. Leah and her partner Dan make a beautiful, happy couple. Some internet users who leave unpleasant comments, doubt the authenticity of their relationship and do not believe they are together. The reason for these doubts is the fact that Leah wears larger-sized clothes.
We have many happy moments, we joke a lot, we laugh a lot, we are simply a fun couple. It's important to know that there will always be someone unhappy with what you're doing and that's why you have to live for yourself - wrote 32-year-old Leah in one of her posts on Instagram.
Leah and Dan met through a dating app. From their very first meeting, they both knew this was what they were looking for - true love.
32-year-old Leah admits that even though reading such comments is not pleasant, she has already learned to ignore the hate.
No one ever tells us anything straight to our faces, but on the internet, people will still comment on the difference in our sizes - Stanley stated.
Leah admitted that she used to have many complexes about her appearance. She gained confidence only after years, when she became a plus size model. Today, comments about her weight, written by strangers, do not affect her sense of self-worth.
