Plus size hiker fights prejudice - shake my beauty

Plus size hiker fights prejudice - shake my beauty

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
A DETERMINED woman is aiming to tackle the stigma attached to plus size people and exercise - by going hiking. 33-year-old Celeste Mick from Los Angeles, California is a passionate hiker who keeps track of her adventures online. Yet, Celeste is not your average looking hiker - with her plus size frame, she is used to people doubting her hiking capabilities. And being plus size has created other challenges too; Celeste has to have her hiking jacket, backpack and rain pants customised to fit her frame. With her Instagram page -fatgirlforthefitsoul-, Celeste tries to break stereotypes and inspire other plus size people to exercise outdoors and not feel ashamed to do so because of their larger frames

Climb a mountain for me girl! Osteoporosis and arthritis sidelined me in my forties and I sure do miss all the things I used to do like my horses and running and hiking. As long as you have your health enjoy it no matter if you're thin or heavy. I think it's great that you're getting out and enjoying all the beauty that nature has to offer.

Damn girl good for you! I couldn't hike all that even with walking sticks. Also there is NO stigma, or definitely shouldn't be, around walking sticks because even the most experienced hikers use them and often won't hike without them. You're a rockstar. Keep doing what you love. It makes you happy and you look beautiful doing it!

A lot of hiking equipment is designed for taller, thinner Caucasians. We Indigenous people are shorter and broader. It's like they tried to gentrify access to our land by making it hard to find simple equipment. I'm rather tired of the skinny whites gatekeeping our birthright.

She's pretty cool, i have been overweight and i know how hard it's can be so her confidence is inspiring. The only things that worry me is her breathing i hope she is carefull but apart from that good for her to do something she love.

This woman seriously needs to go see a medical doctor. She likely has severe PCOS. It can be a real reason to hold on to stubborn weight. She has the same body type and characteristics at Whitney Way Thore.

Just found this. Lost 25 lbs and more to go. Celeste, you are amazing! It means so much to see you and how your loved ones surround you with so much positivity!
Also, the comment section checked the vibe--

Imagine trying better your health and people still have something negative to say. She could still be in that dark place as she mentioned, which could contribute to her size. At least she's being physical.
reply

You know, I am considered a plus size somehow where I live, I am size 14 and people just think I can-t hike but I can and I do 8 mile hikes and all but it feels a bit sad how people just judge us
reply

Don is nice & skinny, shouldn't that motivate her to lose a little weight at least? Kinda pathetic to be heavier than your own boyfriend, it's supposed to be the other way around.
reply

If you can defeat a large hike on a mountain you can defeat any obstacles in life -, I was taught this whilst I started first hiking. It-s great fun, glad she-s having a blast -
reply

She doesn-t deserve to be hated for her size because she-s exercising and taking care of herself. And even though she is a bigger woman, she is very pretty.
reply

Something does not compute here, she seems to get an above average level of exercise, but is still the size of a car. Hmm, I may need more details and context here.
reply

First off: You rock! I love seeing other plus-size hikers. Secondly: Gregory now makes a line of plus-size-focused backpacks. Worth checking out.
reply

love yourself unconditionally, eat healthy, drink healthy, think good thoughts, and exercise. That is self love. This girl IS on the right track
reply

She can do this right now because she is young and her joints can handle all of that extra weight. As she ages, that will cease to be the case.
reply

Why should anyone have a problem with and overweight person hiking and getting exercise and possibly inspiring others to get off the couch?
reply

Celeste sorry but you could wear better clothes it looks very bad specially the big belly you could cover it with nice plus size clothes!
reply

Im plus as well and started hiking. you dont really see plus hikers. Im glad there is more ppl who are plus going out there into nature.
reply

Good for her! it's gotta be more challenging being her size and hiking as opposed to a skinny person, so I got mad respect for her -
reply

Being fat is fine as long as you are young. As you get older is when you really start feeling the damage it does to your body.
reply

anyone who is shaming her is going nowhere fast in life. She's up and doing something to improve herself! That's inspiring!
reply

I love this! Yasss represent for plus size we can do it too! No judgement have fun, plus size bodies exist as well!
reply

After hiking: eat 100 burger -, 10 bottle of sweet drink and 20 pizza.
That why she still fat even she active hiking.

reply

She-s trying to her best and still makes it to the top so how can anyone really be mad at her effort? I don-t get it
reply

I'm just saying, what are the positive benefits of being obese? Name one good thing about being overweight.
reply

Inspirational. ------I am gonna go out and walk today at the park after watching your video. Thank you.
reply

And again. She has a partner, while so many other pretty girls don-t! Makes me think. -. Depressing thoughts -
reply

I don't know why exactly but the way she says -I felt like I wasn't worth of love- just got me in the feels -
reply

People on here make it sound like the pounds are so suppose to fall off of her every step she takes. smh
reply

Why would she need an emergency whistle? - No one's going to attack her. If anything she'd scare people off.
