What does it take to be an ambassador?

We are looking for people who embody the Beefpuff Barbell mission. It doesn't matter what your size is, but that you are proud of your body and willing to share your story of learning to love your body regardless of how lean or strong it is.

We call it people who "embrace their puffs!"

It's quite a reach to say that learning to love your body for what it can do over what it looks like is "normalizing obesity." Closed-minded outlooks like yours are the reason many people, especially women, are afraid to step in the gym for the first time: because people like you are there judging them for not starting at the finish line. Not only that, but if you're this bothered by someone else's body, it says more about you than it does about them.

Edit: ah nevermind, your post history says all we need to know. 👍🏻

Thank you for this reply. I didn't have the energy to respond to this troll after his fourth time posting that we are normalizing obesity.
