Allison Kimmey is an “Author, Speaker and Change-maker,” as she describes herself online — a “trusted expert in self love, body acceptance and body positive parenting.”
…and that skill came in handy during a recent trip to the beach.
Kinney posted a commentary on Instagram about how she reacted when her 4-year-old daughter, Cambelle, called her fat. The post accompanied a photo of herself and her daughter in bathing suits by the water.
“My daughter called me fat today,” she wrote. “She was upset I made them get out of the pool and she told her brother that mama is fat.”

Kimmey, who has a propensity to share photos of herself in bathing suits, proceeded to redefine what being fat means.
The truth is, I am not fat,” she wrote. “No one IS fat. It’s not something you can BE. But I do HAVE fat. We ALL have fat. It protects our muscles and our bones and keeps our bodies going by providing us energy.”
The moral of Kimmey’s story is that her children learned they “shouldn’t say someone is fat because you can’t be just fat, but everyone HAS fat and it’s okay to have different fat.”
“Fat is not a bad word in our house,” Kimmey noted. “If I shame my children for saying it then I am proving that it is an insulting word and I continue the stigma that being fat is unworthy, gross, comical and undesirable.”
And while being overweight is none of the above, having TOO much fat can prove to be unhealthy, which should not be lost in the mix.
