May paalala ang 'plus-size model' na si Rona Samson-Tai, misis ni Filipino-Tongan actor, athlete, TV host, at model na si Eric 'Eruption' Tai sa mga body shamers.
Kamakailan lamang ay nakaranas siya ng body shaming dahil sa Christmas greeting ng kaniyang mister sa social media, kalakip ang kanilang litrato ng pamilya. May pumuna sa kaniyang katawan at pinayuhan pa si Eric na turuang maging fit at healthy ang asawa.

“She’s one of the Philippines most sought-after plus-size model. Actually one of the best. You’ll see her on Avon, HnM, Cosmopolitan, SM & many more advertisements, prints and commercials,” pagtatanggol ni Eric.
Pagpapakasal dahil lang sa anak, 'di bet ni Janella Salvador
Sumegunda naman dito si Rona at ipinagtanggol ang sarili pati na ang mister.
"To everyone that body shamed me on my husband’s recent Christmas post. My prayer for you is to find true & unconditional love. Not just from your significant other, but also from yourself."
"Love yourself enough even if you’re going through something that you will see it’s beauty and strength despite it’s imperfection.
Yes, feel free to ZOOM in. Know that you can body shame me all day long, but sweetheart, that don’t faze me!"
Nag-post pa siya ng iba pang mga thoughts niya tungkol sa body shaming at self-acceptance. Ibinida niya ang kaniyang poster para sa isang sikat na brand na may tagline na 'Let Her Be'.
Sa isa pang social media post, nag-quote siya mula sa manunulat, speaker, at fitness and strength coach na si Chrissy King.
“'If we make self-love or body acceptance conditional, the truth is, we will never be happy with ourselves. The reality is that our bodies are constantly changing, and they will never remain exactly the same. If we base our self-worth on something as ever-changing as our bodies, we will forever be on the emotional roller coaster of body obsession and shame.' — Chrissy King."
Sa isa pang post, ipinakita niya na kasama niya ang kapwa model na si Ashley Graham.
"Just because we’re big, doesn’t mean we can’t live our best life. With THE Ashley Graham."
At ang latest post niya ay nitong Disyembre 29 kung saan ipinaliwanag niya kung ano ba ang body shaming, batay sa 'Healthline'.
"Body-shaming is a horrible reality that everyone faces over and over again in their lives. But what exactly is body-shaming?
According to Healthline, body-shaming 'involves criticizing and harassing overweight people about their weight or eating habits to make them feel ashamed of themselves,' with the intent to 'motivate people to eat less, exercise more, and lose weight.'"
"Some believe that making overweight people feel ashamed of their weight or eating habits may motivate them to get healthier. However, scientific evidence confirms that nothing could be further from the truth. People take the wrong approach in trying to approach the topic of your weight. Family members, doctors, and complete strangers make it the hardest and they can cut you down in a split second."
"Body-shaming can cause a decrease in motivation, depression, eating disorders, reduced self-esteem, stress, weight gain, mental problems, increased risk of suicide, increased cortisol (a stress hormone) levels, and it can increase your risk for certain chronic diseases."
Kaya naman may paalala si Rona sa mga mapanghusga at body shamers.
"Practice kindness… kindness to yourself and kindness to others. Kindness to your body, it may not be at the best shape now, love it and help it get back on track. But NEVER hate it."
