We imagine being naturally skinny and growing up with the surname ‘Twigley’ inspired some pretty harsh playground smack-talk.
And Bec Judd (nee Twigley) has heard it all.
‘I’ve been really thin my entire life,’ Bec told The Daily Mail, in response to some of the awful Twitter comments she receives about her body.

Even in school at six years old, seven years old, eight years old (I was) getting called skinny same as my mum when she was in school. It’s just who we are…I’m good.’
Bec has been the victim of some pretty horrible social media comments of late. Many have criticised her for publicly promoting a dangerously thin ideal A picture that she posted on Instagram earlier this year of herself in a bikini received a lot of criticism in particular.

‘Eat something. Unfollowed,’
‘I would rather look the way I do now than look like this, this is so sad poor girl.’
‘Girl. You have an eating disorder.’
We’re huge promoters of size diversity here at Mamamia and recognising that beautiful doesn’t only come in a size 6 shape. But as the world slowly accepts that thin is not the only kind of attractive body shape for a woman; that shouldn’t mean we demonise thin women.
Body acceptance and positivity is about celebrating bodies of all shapes and sizes. Being healthy and happy is ultimately what beauty is about and we’re glad to see Bec isn’t letting the haters get her down.
Bec Judd is definitely good at photos:

If she wasn't such a damned narcissist posting her photos all the time with her little 'duck face', then perhaps she wouldn't get up people's noses so much.
My gripe is this: women need to stop trying to bring other women down. At the end of the day, Rebecca Judd (just like every other woman in western civilisation) is free to do, say and promote anything she likes. She is building a brand. If people don't like what she stands for, then unfollow her. I've never understood why "haters" are so prevalent on social media. I thought you only "followed" people you liked? People who inspire you and motivate you. Maybe to her 200k+ instagram followers, Rebecca is that person. To me personally, I have other strong, intelligent females who I look up to as role models so I don't follow her on social media. However I'm not going to go out of my way to follow her so I can critisize her. Who does that?!
