Plus-size women are attacked daily on the internet. We're inundated with trolls in our body-positive spaces, we're sent lewd and rude private messages, and of course, because it is 2017, we are meme'd.

Body-positive coach, activist, and #ScarredNotScared creator Michelle Elman is on a mission to change plus-size internet culture, one meme revamp at a time. 

Her Instagram account, @bodypositivememes, takes user-submitted (and personally found) fat-shaming memes and corrects them to make them more BOPO.

Ranging from witty to moving, her editing is brilliant. Here are a few of our favorites:
