Former body positivity influencer Gabriella Lascano recently shared in an opinion piece why she stepped away from the movement she once endorsed.
Lascano, who has 405K followers on Instagram and 188K subscribers on YouTube, said she distanced herself from the “love yourself at any size” message because it encouraged unhealthy habits.
In 2023, she explained that caring about your health isn’t fatphobic, but she admitted the body positivity community didn’t respond warmly to her change of heart.
