I'm over it. And so is Katey Johnson, who runs popular blog The Mother Octopus. So during a recent girls' trip with her BFF, she decided to stick it to her haters by rocking a little black dress she claims she has "no business wearing."

"When I tried it on I knew the dress wasn't made for my 5’2″ body, 160 lb. body, but I felt great in it," writes Johnson, 40, in a viral Facebook post. "I’m not known to wear form-fitting clothes. At all. But I wanted it, so I bought it. And I was proud of myself for it."

And now the internet is proud of her, too. Because Johnson shared a photo of her wearing the LBD on Facebook, along with a powerful post about body positivity, and it's racked up over 4,000 shares in three days.

"We need more of this positive message on social media. We should all have the courage to be proud of our bodies and wear what we want. I'm still working on it but every time I read posts like this it makes it a little bit easier,"

Another user commented: "This the most honest and relatable post I have seen in years!1! Keep feeling great!!!"

How about we shut out the noise and the negativity, go on out with our spouses or friends, drink the wine, eat the cake, and cherish ourselves once more.

All things considered, we more than deserve it.
