She's at it again!

A fitness freak mom-of-three was banned from Facebook after posting a tirade against plus-size women who pose in lingerie to promote body confidence.

Maria Kang, from California, has shot into the spotlight once more by writing she was "annoyed" by "news stories about how overweight, nearly obese women should be proud of their bodies," according to California TV station News10.
