Bride-to-be shuts down personal trainer who tried to body-shame her

Friendly reminder: Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.

Some people still don't seem to understand that all body types are worthy of love.

A woman named Cassie Young saw this first hand recently after she was approached on Twitter by a personal trainer who offered to help her lose weight before her wedding day. But when she explained that she was already happy with how she looked, the conversation took an odd turn.

The unnamed trainer began to shame her for not trying to "look her best" in her wedding photos. Ugh.

Luckily, his misguided comments did not bring the bride-to-be down. She schooled him, and when she posted the screenshots on Facebook last week, she added an important message: your appearance does not define your self worth.

Cassie ends the post by stating, "Life is waiting for you. It's too short to be spent worrying about a belly roll. Go be happy and live it to your fullest."

After the post went viral, other Facebook users were disgusted by the trainer's tactic of getting a new client and completely supported Cassie's body-positivity in the comments.

Hell yeah. Further proof there's no such thing as the right or wrong size.
