A grandma has shared her dating nightmare of being body-shamed – and the resilient stand she took.

Digital creator @Recover_your_power took to TikTok to share her empowering lesson in body positivity.

“So my date said I’m too fat,” she started.

“I know I have 25 pounds (11kg) to lose,” she noted.

“But … can we normalise Grandma Bods?” she asked, the US Sun reported.

She then turned the camera to her amazing hourglass figure, wearing a teeny-tiny black bikini.

TikTok users rushed to the comments with confusion, support, and most importantly, praise for the grandma’s figure.

One user wrote: “I don’t see where there is 25lbs to lose? You are perfect.”

Another agreed: “You’re gorgeous! The only thing you need is a different date!”

In her follow-up TikTok, she explained what motivated her to create this video.

“I was out by the pool and I was feeling really blue about my weight,” she said.

“I did some self-talk — and I said ‘screw it’.” she explained.

“I don’t feel too bad for a grandma, and I just shot the damn video and then I posted it,” she said. “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

“Just because somebody doesn’t fit the mould of what you think they should for body positivity doesn’t mean that they don’t feel bad about how they look,” she noted.

“I wasn’t feeling 100 per cent at all about how I looked – and I’m still not,” she explained.

“But those compliments did help,” she said. “I wasn’t fishing for compliments, I was trying to say that whatever you look like, be happy in your body.”

“I guess I was trying to convince myself to be happy in mine,” she said.

“If I was looking for clout, or compliments, I probably would have done a still shot,” she clarified. “And Photoshopped the hell out of it.

“No matter what size you are, no matter what age you are, love yourself enough to feel good in your own skin,” she concluded.

TikTok users chimed in with even more support.

One user wrote: “Loved this … you be you!”

Another user couldn’t have agreed more: “You don’t have to explain yourself to anyone – honey you’re perfect as you are.”
