For anyone who has ever gone through the trouble of losing weight, we can all agree how difficult it is to deal with the judgment of other people. As you struggle to lose the weight, day by day and pound by pound, the cruel words from an uncaring person can really make you lose confidence in yourself.
So when Shantell Bennett proudly posted a photo of herself in a two-piece bathing suit to show off the 100 pounds she had lost, she was a bit taken aback when some bully posted that she should hide her body and wear a one piece bathing suit instead.
While such a mean statement would bring a lot of people down, Shantell’s response was nothing short of amazing; she posted the pictures of herself on her personal Facebook page, and fired back at the online bully in the best way possible! Just like when bullies called Lizzie Velasquez the “world’s ugliest woman,” this young mother decided to fight back!

Shantell Bennett weighed around 360 pounds when she made the decision that she had to lose weight.
She had just had a baby and realized she wanted to set a good example — and to stay healthy so she could see him grow up!
So when she decided to get lap-band surgery, she knew it would still take a lot of dedication and hard work to lose all that weight!
Along with thinking positive thoughts and intense exercise, Shantell has been consistently losing weight since her surgery.
But along with exercise, she's also maintained a healthy diet.
She's already dealing with the problem of "loose" skin! While certainly annoying, it just means that she's losing weight and getting healthier every single day!
While she still has weight to lose before she reaches her goal, she was proud to learn that she had lost 110 pounds. So when she posted a picture of herself online in a two-piece, an internet bully told her to stick to a one-piece.
