Like so many of us, Remi Bader was forced to pivot when the pandemic hit. Let go from her marketing job, she scrambled to find a new role in her industry and at the same time started gaining weight due to stress and a binge-eating disorder (she has since sought treatment). Remi&#39;s dad was actually the one to suggest curve modeling, and though she started booking jobs, it wasn&#39;t enough to keep the 27-year-old busy. So she also launched a TikTok account to document her attempts to find cute, properly fitting clothes for her new body. Her fifth video went viral. &quot;It was me saying how frustrating it is that anything you buy online no matter what size you are-will never look like it does on the model,&quot; she says. It&#39;s a superrelatable sentiment, and one Remi has spun into a series of &quot;realistic haul&quot; vids, in which she tries on clothes from different retailers. Brands have taken note of Remi&#39;s critiques, and some have even partnered with her to make real change: Remi recently launched a collection with Revolve in sizes XXS-3X. &quot;It&#39;s everything I&#39;ve always struggled to find for myself-a nice pantsuit, a bodysuit that fits,&quot; she says. &quot;I never thought something like this could happen, so I&#39;m just excited.&quot; And, of course, stylin&#39;!Ignore the Naysayers&quot;Something that&#39;s helped me recently is remembering that anyone who&#39;s trying to bring you down is just projecting how they feel about themselves. It has nothing to do with you.&quot;18 Remi&#39;s lucky number. It also happens to be her age when she transferred universities after having difficulty settling in. &quot;It was a lesson to me to make an adjustment when something doesn&#39;t feel right!&quot;&quot;I believe everything happens for a reason and that it all ends up working out. If you have a sh*tty experience, you have to go through it to get to where you&#39;re supposed to be.&quot;KEEP SELF-CARE SIMPLE&quot;People&#39;s minds automatically go to facials, meditation, yoga. Those are great, but try finding the simplest thing that can make you happy-even a TV show. For me, it&#39;s Love Island.&quot;REMEMBER GROWTH TAKES TIME&quot;I&#39;m on a journey of self-acceptance. I stop myself so much more lately when I want to say, &#39;Oh, I hate how I look.&#39; I have bad days and good days, but I&#39;m still moving forward.&quot;
