She has vowed never to put her tummy away ever again because she is proud of her body and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

It’s a huge step for Chunkyboo (@cuddlebear8_0) who spent her younger years feeling self-conscious about her shape.

But it is certainly not that way anymore.

Older and far more self-assured, she is proud of how far she has come in the body confidence stakes and today she owns it.

In a recent post to her TikTok, she danced for the camera, wearing a high-necked black sweater and trousers, that were rolled down to reveal her belly.

“If 16-year-old me saw me now,” she smiled to the camera while lip-synching lyrics to the backing track: “Who’s that chick?”

She considers her current body-confident self to be far removed from her younger version.

“I wish I could have had this confidence when I was younger,” she said, “someone to look up to as being fat and can rock it.”

But she herself embodies that woman today.

“I’d cry about how far I’ve come and that I’m still here being me embracing myself,” she said. “It’s sad that in 2023 body shaming still exists.”

Comments to her post loved her post and were motivated by her attitude.

“Beautiful,” gushed one fan.

“Plump girls are gorgeous, very cute,” was the opinion of this follower.

Another agreed, she should be very pleased: “She would be so proud I think. You’re as confident as you’re beautiful.”

Finally, one viewer wanted to put her on a pedestal from which he could adore her: “Omg, I wanna worship it so bad.”
