Social media has changed.
It went from Bebo stunnahz, to Facebook stalking, and now, it is commonly used for self-empowerment.
One plus-sized model, Sophie Turner, posted an important picture of herself on Instagram to highlight why women shouldn’t be angry with their bodies.
In the post, she explains that she was at a photoshoot, and when she saw pictures of her cellulite, she was angry with herself.
“I done a photoshoot yesterday and these are some behind the scenes pictures – I was angry when I seen this pic because Of my cellulite – It was on my mind but why should it?
“I am more than #cellulite I am more than the #bellyrolls and the #backfat and #celluliteisnormal!
“It’s natural for us ladies to have cellulite and we need to stop seeing it as disgusting or ugly. Yes we all want smooth skin but we also need to accept reality!
“It’s all apart of being me! And I’m still learning to love it and not hate it- it’s a slow road to #selflove but it’s the best thing you can do for your confidence and mental health.”
We think Sophie hits an important point here – we all want better skin, better hair, a better body – but we need to accept ourselves for who we are, and love ourselves no matter what.
