Sara Milliken, Plus-Sized Miss Alabama, Responds to Body-Shamers in Bold Statement
Just a week after giving birth, the podcast host took to Instagram to share a message with her followers.
In a post from December 2018, she expressed her frustration and the need to vent. She had initially wanted to post a photo showing her stomach to document her journey back to health, but ultimately decided against it and cropped the photo. She was taken aback by the negative comments she received on a recent photo, clarifying that she did not undergo a tummy tuck, have a personal chef, or follow an intense training regimen. She revealed that she had undergone multiple stomach surgeries in the past, including an appendix, gallbladder, and c-section.
She emphasized the importance of women supporting each other and embracing their own individual journeys and differences. She called for kindness and empathy towards oneself and others, urging women to lift each other up rather than tearing themselves down through comparison.
She concluded her message with a loving note to her followers before returning her focus to her newborn baby.
