ET Canada and host of HGTV’s ‘Home to Win’ Sangita Patel stopped by the Roz and Mocha show to discuss some very important body image issues and also address a nasty comment made by an Instagram user.

After posting a picture of herself working out, a nasty user wrote:

“You should know when you’re doing exercises on the floor, your loose skin and blubber shows on your stomach. Maybe stop eating so many roti.”

 Rude.

Staying classy as always, Sangita wrote the following:

What’s so interesting it’s focuses on my stomach & then brings on a racial undertone in the last sentence (scratched out the last word) doubly whammy. 
Truth is I DO have loose skin and ‘wrinkles’ it’s noticeable when I plank, I carried two babies!
I’ve shared my health journey to inspire others, especially moms.
And keeping it real sometimes makes you vulnerable to such comments
It’s doesn’t MATTER what your body composition is, judging/comments like this shouldn’t be happening, it’s easy to lack empathy when such a person is behind a screen.

I sat on this for awhile and I’m posting today for ANYONE whose dealt with such negativity. Don’t let anyone take you down…NO ONE.
At 40 I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been, I’ve embraced my body, , ‘blubber’ and all ?? #BodyShaming#LoveYourself #RealTalk #moms”
