Congratulations, Whitney Thompson!

In what was seen as an upset in the eyes of many viewers, this plus-size beauty won America's Next Top Model last night.

"There's definitely times I've looked in the mirror and looked at other girls and thought, I wasn't like them," said the the 20-year-old Florida native. "I want other women in America to feel good about themselves…It's amazing to be America's Next Top Model. This is exactly what I want. This is what I've always wanted!"
