I grew up thinking &quot;fat&quot; is the worst thing you could be called by someone. I thought &quot;fat&quot; was an insult. But calling someone fat, says more about the person who said it, than about yourself. You see, I HAVE fat, I&#39;m not fat. Fat does not define me. I know what I eat, how much I exercise. I know that I&#39;m a lot more than just my appearances. Sometimes I take flattering photos with make-up on (on the left) and sometimes I&#39;m just not feeling posing and HATE make-up (on the right). Both is okay. Both bodies are OKAY. Most people would say picture two is an unflattering photo. But I love it. I love that you can see my imperfections, my fatrolls, my imperfect skin, my cellulite. Those are all my insecurities in one single picture. This is a big step for me because I&#39;m still insecure and not 100% confident, but I want to show you guys that even people with many followers aren&#39;t perfect. I used to HATE every inch of my body. That mindset not only made me grumpy towards myself, but towards every one around me. It made me envious towards other women. I&#39;m happy I realised that my body is great and that &quot;perfect&quot; doesn&#39;t exist. With this picture, I wanted to show every boy and girl out there, that YOUR BODY IS BEAUTIFUL. Your body is gorgeous, your body is unique, your body is yours. You can have fatrolls. You can have pimples. You can have stretchmarks. You can have everything you want. You can be whatever you want. Our stories and experiences make us who we are and that&#39;s the most amazing thing. Take that with you and embrace your body, embrace those curves! Make your insecurities your own, turn them into something positive, make them YOU! Don&#39;t hate your body until you lose weight or get the perfect body at the gym, do it the whole way, do it NOW! Loving yourself is greatest achievement of all ❤️ #LoveYourself #LoveYourBody #BodyPositive</a></p>
