#inshapemyshape

Everyone has a body that is important in life. Whether you are fat, skinny, average, buff, and etc. You can for sure change formations, but do not risk or lose what you already love. For example, you could lose relationships, your jobs, and even your family due to depression and anxiety about your goals to change. Be who you are from the day you were born till now, you are important to this world.

As a model, I'm used to my shape being under the spot light and scrutinised. Luckily through the industry I've built a super thick skin and I've generally always been strong minded and comfortable with my shape mostly because this is the shape I have always been, and thats mostly down to my genetics and metabolism. With that said, making my move to NYC came with new goals and ambitions, healthy mind and living is slowly becoming a priority while I'm out here. So this @womenshealth body positive campaign has come at the perfect time highlighting the message that being healthy looks different on everyone and can't necessarily be defined by clothing sizes! The focus should be on your health, mental and physical, and NOT what that should look like on individuals so go on be proud of your shape and remember to smile too! #inshapemyshape (at Williamsburg, Brooklyn)

So I’m gonna go on a tangent right now. I have been inboxed a couple times in regards to the weight loss post I put up a few weeks ago and my woman crush, Iskra Lawrence. People are saying that I cannot be a face of body positivity when I’m a size 4 Canadian/US. Well then sit the fuck down ‘cause it’s story time kiddies. At 15 I was a size 00 Canadian/US, that’s a size 2 UK. 6 months later I was a UK size 4, that’s a size 2 Canadian/US. By the time I was 17-18 I was a UK size 8, Canadian size 6. I was 16 when I started noticing my body dramatically changing right before my eyes. I did everything in my power to try and stop those changes. I’ve always eaten relatively healthy, I’ve never denied myself sweets or junk food but I’d regularly eat healthy. By the time I was 17 - 18 I had gone from a UK size 2 to a UK size 8 which is a size 6 Canadian/US. I couldn’t understand why I kept going up sizes, I ate super healthy and I walked pretty much everywhere. I started to binge eat and fast quite often. The biggest I got was 56 kg, 125 pounds and my pant size was a 12 UK which is a 10 Canadian/US. This was at the end of 2015. I found Iskra by mistake actually; I was surfing through YouTube when I found her back at the beginning of the year. I listened to what she had to say and I’ve always been a huge supporter for body positivity even though I didn’t have any. I love her slogan, In Shape My Shape. Iskra kind of inspired me to take on a healthier lifestyle. It hasn’t been easy but I managed. I started to exercise and eat much healthier in March of 2016. Last time I weighed myself I was 46 kg, 102 pounds. Today I weighed myself and I’m 48 kg, 106 pounds. I haven’t given up my healthy lifestyle, I’ve toned up. I have gained 4 pounds of muscle. I am honestly in a better mental and emotional state than I was a year ago. I am taking care of my mental self, emotional self as well as my physical self. I am not a size. I am not a number on a tag on a piece of clothing. I’m so much more than any of that. And that, my dear critiques, is what body positivity is. And if you think otherwise, well then, you can just suck it. 🖕🏻#inshapemyshape #iskralawrence #bodypositivity (at Downtown Winnipeg)

I 💕 my long legs 💪🏽🙌🏽 #inshapemyshape #ukwomenshealth #teamW

For all you plus-size women out there, love your thick strong legs. Thick strong legs are sexy, they go hand-in-hand with your curves, so don't feel ashamed when walking around. STRUT IN-STYLE AND WALK THOSE AISLES! ~ @justinjwhite_( @styleandcurve contributor) #StyleAndCurveMag #iskralawrence #loveyourstronglegs #ilovemystronglegs #inshapemyshape @iamiskra

✨😬 so proud to be part of the new @UKWomensHealth campaign called #inshapemyshape because health is not a certain size or shape. I'm so grateful to be at the point where I realise my legs are beautiful and strong and they're all mine. 💕 I used to think there was something wrong with me because no matter how much I dieted and exercised I couldn't get a thigh gap. But now I know that it doesn't matter if you do or don't have a thigh gap because your shape or size does not define your beauty and what is really beautiful is being the happiest and healthiest version of yourself 🙌✨💕🦄 #iskralawrence #everyBODYisbeautiful 🚫no filter no photoshop the real you is good enough (at New York, New York)
