“We’ve seen so many versions of each other, shared so many memories and been through so much together,” Brooke said.
“I raised and brought our children into the world twice.
“We have been there for each other through the deepest valleys and the greatest highs.
“We are each other’s family and home, forever and ever.”
Brooke, who regularly posts photos of herself confidently beaming in swimwear, encourages her followers to embrace their figures.
“Let this be a reminder that your worth is not determined by your size,” she wrote.
She also shared a message for people who feel the need to comment on other people’s bodies.
“To the anonymous, nameless people out there who think it’s okay to talk to strangers on the internet like this, I really hope you get the help you need to get out of that dark place,” she said.
“Do some inner work and reflect on yourself instead of projecting your thoughts onto others.”
Instagram users shared their thoughts about Brooke’s post in the comments.
“What the hell is going on! Obviously jealous, you are beautiful and you shine together, everyone can see that!” wrote one follower.
Ridiculing people with ‘mixed weight relationships’
Size 20 Vicky Lowdell, who has found love with her two stone lighter partner Tom, has shared her thoughts on trolling for so-called “mixed weight relationships.”
It shouldn’t really happen, but unfortunately it still does.
I know – I’ve been there. And I’m partly to blame. I’ve often wondered what Tom – who I find so much more attractive than I do – sees in me.
He always reassured me and told me that he liked me for who I was.
I was kind of stunned. I was a blooper whale and he was a little squirrel.
It didn’t make sense in my head, even though I knew we got along really well and had a lot in common
“First of all you are drop dead gorgeous!!! Secondly I love this post! Thirdly people are wild, too bad you have to deal with such dirty energy!!” said another person.
“I can’t believe how much guts some people have. They are more beautiful now than ever,” commented a third Instagrammer.
“Even if you were ‘big’, which you’re not, why can’t big people have fit husbands?” another follower noted.
“Clearly jealous of what you have together! People who follow you see how much love you have as a family,” one commenter said.
“Like people say that, ugh, people are so rude and have no manners at all!” wrote someone else.
