After Your Slimdown Call Dr. Gray

Have you heard of Brooke Birmingham? Brooke is a blogger from Quad Cities, Illinois who has been in the news a lot lately. She lost more than 170 pounds over the past four-and-half years, which is awesome and we’re so proud of her! She wrote about her weight loss experience on her blog which is called Brooke: Not On a Diet.  She is an incredible example of what dedication to a slim down journey can achieve.

Shape Magazine Controversy Over Her Weight Loss Photo

Apparently, Shape Magazine read her blog and decided to feature her weight loss triumph in their Success Stories series. However, the photo that Brooke submitted wasn’t allowed to be used. You see, Brooke submitted a photo of herself in a bikini to Shape Magazine (below), but it was rejected because of her excess skin from losing all that weight. Many people who slim down significantly experience loose or sagging skin, which is a common result after major weight loss.

Brooke Stood Up for Herself—and Others

Brooke was told to submit a different photo that showed herself covered up in a t-shirt because it was “policy.” However, there are plenty of people not covered up in their “after” photo in that section of the magazine. Ultimately, Brooke decided not to share her photos or story with Shape Magazine and instead took her story to the big news networks, which is where we heard about. Her stand sparked important conversations about body positivity and what it really looks like to remove excess skin after major weight loss. Her decision also highlighted how removing excess skin is not just a cosmetic choice, but an empowering step for many who have achieved dramatic weight loss.
