Sarah Nicole Landry (34) from Ontario, Canada, struggled with body image issues after having three children by the age of 25 and reaching 102kg on the scale, Metro UK reports.
Despite eventually losing nearly 50kg, Landry felt even more insecure about her body.
The 34-year-old mom says she has to often remind herself that her worth isn’t dictated by her physical appearance, dailymail reports.
“Before, I felt so alone in having cellulite on my butt and scars on my stomach – no one was showing that on my newsfeed”
“I stopped following accounts that made me feel bad about myself and started looking at positive ones. It helped me to become less judgmental and changed my mindset,” she explains.
In snaps shared on Instagram, Landry sports black underwear showcasing her figure and dismisses trolls who send her nasty comments online.
“There was a fear that people would think I look disgusting.
“My body is this way for a reason, and I don't have to keep perfecting it. Being less than perfect was terrifying before, but now it’s not.”
Landry says she wants to encourage women not to judge one another and to understand that body positivity is a choice about one’s own body.
“Celebrating body positivity shouldn't be a one size fits all – not just plus size, thin, fit girls or others. It should be for everyone.”
