Brooke Birmingham has a lot to be proud about. The author of the blog 'Brooke: Not on a Diet' shed more than 170 pounds and kept it off. But when the 28 year old attempted to tell her story to SHAPE, she was told the fitness magazine wouldn't print the picture of her in a bikini, loose skin and all.
According to an article in Buzzfeed, when Birmingham submitted her photo in the 'Success Stories' portion of SHAPE, she was asked to resubmit another in which she was covered up in a T-shirt. When she questioned the logic, Birmingham was told the magazine's editorial policy required her to be "fully clothed, simple as that.”
