“Many applauded me for my bravery in posting the ‘after’ shot however, many berated me for promoting obesity. There were others who labelled me a bad role model for my children,” writes Brumfitt on the Kickstarter page for her forthcoming documentary about body acceptance.
Brumfitt is now trying to raise $200,000 to finish her documentary, which explores the complicated and sometimes toxic relationships women have with their bodies.
She writes:
“Lose weight, reduce wrinkles, fight cellulite; we’re constantly told to fight a battle to be someone other than who we are.
Excessive photoshopping, the sexualisation of women in the media and advertising campaigns that prey on women’s insecurities – it’s no wonder there is a culture of body loathing and body shaming of epidemic proportions going on in the world.”
