Self Magazine debuted its first digital cover this week, which showed plus-sized model Tess Holliday and told readers that her “health is none of your business.”
The health and wellness magazine posted the cover to its Instagram account and included a portion of Editor-in-Chief Carolyn Kylstra’s editor’s letter, which explains why the publication decided to give Holliday “a platform.”
“Holliday identifies as a fat woman; we chose to give her a platform because she has insightful things to say about thriving in a world that devalues bodies of size,” the letter said. “We also chose to feature her because size representation is necessary, especially for a national health media brand that can help guide the conversation about what it means to be healthy and how to make health accessible.”
It went on to add that a person’s level of health can’t be determined "just by looking at them."
“And moreover, you should know that concern trolling — using a person’s perceived health to justify making them feel bad about themselves — isn’t just counterproductive, it’s abusive,” it said.
Some commenters on the post applauded the magazine’s decision, with one user writing, “Thanks for showing ALL kinds of beautiful women!” and another saying they “adore this!”

I love those Al Bundy clips on youtube
I did see your comment BTW.
my husband had a buddy like that. His wife took up an entire couch. Her breasts were on her lap when she sat down. His mom tried to bribe her NOT to marry her son.
In the late ‘70s, I injured my left knee badly - a split rim truck tire blew apart and hit it. Had an operation in ‘81 - it was OK for a time. Three years ago - at age 70 - I had a knee replacement. Six weeks of painful agony in rehab!
In the pre-operation hospital briefing, they assembled some 20 of us for a lecture and Q&A session. Most of us were in their early 40s to late 50s - minus a woman who had just turned 38, and me. Of the group, I was the ONLY one of normal weight - the rest were grossly obese.
Sorry about that, “Big Eaters”, but the knees are simply not designed to carry that much weight. Tub out at your own risk.
She is NOT getting in my flying car...when I get one : )
Her husband was overheard to say “Acres and acres and it’s mine all mine”
THIS is a plus-sized model.
THIS is a beached whale.
absolutely disgusting. What man or woman would want to touch that, Laz included.
Well stated
For those not familiar with the publication, SELF is a health and fitness magazine for women.
This shows the mental illness of liberals. We need to be more ‘inclusive’ of all women ... so put a morbidly obese woman on the cover as a model.
This isn’t a “healthy but thick” woman. This woman is self-destructive and the opposite of what they should be putting on the cover - even if they wanted to show a variety of body types, which are still health.
Here’s their own description of their magazine:
SELF is wellness you can trust.
We help people feel better. No matter the platform—website, Snapchat, newsletters, consumer products, events—our work reflects this service-driven mission and the core values of inclusivity, accuracy, and empathy. We recognize that wellness is as much about self-expression and self-compassion as it is about workout classes and healthy eating; that it’s not an all-or-nothing thing; and that every person’s individual goals for wellness are different, and that’s great.
fat girls are as pretty as skinny ones.
And as my hubby says, you will not be happy until you weigh zero.
Freegards
She is going to eventually want “us” to pay for her new hips and knees; it’s most assuredly our business.
Yikes...I’d say I need a wider LCD but then I quickly decided I didn’t.
Appetite reverser!
What is the message with Dolly Parton and Miss Piggy?
I won’t feel guilty for standing in the checkout line and ogling THAT!
GROSS AND DISGUSTING!
It should be a beach shoot. She would really take to the water. The shallow tidal flats help her stubby legs support her immense weight as she gorges on aquatic plants.
I read that in a dinosaur book when I was little.
