She Was Body Shamed, But She Came Back With An A+ Response

#1

When Jéssica Balbino left her home on Monday, her heart dropped when she saw something beyond heartbreaking. A very cruel person graffitied "Fat Jessica" on the wall of her home.

It's never to body shame and we can't imagine why someone would write something so mean right on Jessica's home. Most people would kick ass and take names later. But Jessica took the high road and responded in the best way possible.

The Brazilian woman posted a photo of the graffiti on Facebook.

"So today I woke up and found this written on my wall. I think they forgot to write ‘pretty', but at least I'm glad they wrote something I really am," writes Jéssica. "If the intent was to offend, it went wrong because it represents me. I would be upset if they said I was stupid, criminal or something like that. Fat is exactly what I am."

Jéssica actually shared the graffiti pic with a few family and friends. Jessica says, "I got a number of interesting reactions; they said I should have a barbecue by the wall and get people to spray more graffiti, with words like ‘pretty', ‘incredible', etc."

Another person took the time to go to Jéssica's office and presented her with a rose along with a note that touchingly reads, "There's no way that wall has enough space to do you justice."

After all of the support and love from with her friends,family and even strangers, Jéssica is decided to look at the graffiti from a different perspective. Instead of viewing it as hurtful or offensive, she sees it as being both funny and true! "Being fat is something that's impossible to hide from society, you know?" Jéssica said. "You can hide being a criminal, a homophobe, being prejudiced, but you can't hide being fat! So the graffiti summed me up pretty well!"

Though the harsh words may be painted on Jéssica's wall for all to see, there's literally another side to this story. A few months ago, the 30-year-old had written "more love" on the other side of her wall.
