‘Cosmo’ Covergirl Is ‘Morbidly Obese’ Body Acceptance Model

Body positivity activist and model Tess Holliday will be featured on the cover of Cosmopolitan U.K.’s October issue, set to hit newsstands on Friday.

Holliday, a key figure in the pro-obesity movement, gushed over the swimsuit cover on Twitter. “I’m literally a COSMO GIRL!! Can’t believe I’m saying that!” she said, adding, “If I saw a body like mine on this magazine when I was a young girl, it would have changed my life.”
