Bátran meztelenkedik a túlsúlyos modell az Instagramon
Grace Victory mára már büszkén vállalja testét a plusz kilókkal együtt, és ezt a közösségi oldalán sem fél megmutatni másoknak. A fiatal lány rendszeresen posztol magáról fél- vagy teljesen meztelen képeket, amelyek egyeseket megbotránkoztatnak, őt azonban mára már egyáltalán nem érdeklik a negatív kritikák.
Persze nem volt ez mindig így. Az iskolában sokat csúfolták, mert már akkor ducibb volt, mint társai. Sosem volt elégedett az alakjával, hosszú időbe telt, mire megtanulta elfogadni önmagát.
"Ilyen testet, mint amilyen az enyém, nem gyakran látnak az emberek, de ha mégis, viccet csinálnak belőle, kiröhögik, vagy elrettentő példaként mutatják be"
- mondta Grace, akinek terápiával sikerült elérni, hogy már tudja értékelni önmagát.
"Már fejlődésben vagyok. Szeretem a testemet, akármilyen is, mindaddig amíg egészséges vagyok és amíg életem legszebb időszakát élem."
A duci lány eleinte nem mert kihívó képeket posztolni magáról az Instagramra, mert félt a reakcióktól. Később azonban meggondolta magát és egymás után jöttek a meztelenkedős fotók.
"Azért osztottam meg ezeket, mert csak az számít, hogy mindenki vállalja fel és szeresse magát, mindegy, milyen a teste"
- vallja Grace.
Sometimes I feel the pressure.. just like you do. I wake up some days and I see something online or I hear a conversation as I pass someone by and I feel it. That sinking feeling that you're not good enough & that life would just be better if you lost weight. But a few years ago I lost it. I slimmed down and made myself smaller. I could fit into Topshop jeans, I could pose in photos with my collar bones out and I could be at the receiving end of comments like "omg you look so good now". But what I wasn't prepared for was a feeling of emptiness and dread. The feeling that I had to lose one more fucking pound and the isolation I was surrounded by because I was terrified of going out - just incase I had to go "off plan" from my safe foods. I learned that happiness was NOT at the end of weight loss because you can lose all the weight in the world and it won't be enough ** The pressure for me will always be there because society has created a mould that I will never fit in. And although it can be hard and draining, I am happy with being an "outsider". I am happy that I'm not a conventional beauty. I don't want to fit in and live up to other people's expectations, I set my own limits. I am bigger than before, but maybe the world needs more of me now. I have achieved so much in this body - the body I was so desperate to get rid of. It has enabled me to do incredible things and through everything - it's still here. I used to believe giving in and surrendering was weak, but now I realise it is a sign of strength ? It takes courage to live your truth so boldly and I hope if you look like me and by seeing this photo.. maybe you can live your truth too. Shine on baby girls ✨

My DM's are flooded at the moment with messages of trauma and asking how to start the healing process. Whilst I want to reply to all of you, the way my healthy boundaries are set up means I cannot, as I have to protect myself ? But what I will say is that feeling is a step. Allow yourself to feel, feel, feel. We live in a world we don't allow ourselves the space or time to feel what's really going on AND/OR we are shamed for feeling the way that we do. Breathe into these feelings and let them flow. Move through them or be still - whatever you feel compelled to do. Ask yourself, why am I feeling this way? And try to connect to where these feelings are coming from. Don't be scared or ashamed to admit that you're fearful or jealous or full of resentment etc - there is no such thing as bad feelings, it's just the wonder of being human. Emotions are here to help, here to guide, here to questions, here to heal ?✨? So feel.. because baby girl you cannot heal what has not been revealed. #healgrowglow

I will shed all my skin, down to the very bone beneath it, if that's what it will take for you to come to the realisation, that appearance is not what makes a human beautiful ? (words by Chris Poindexter)

More rolls than a bakery ?? I remember dickheads at school saying that to me when I was a size 12 and struggling with an ED. Now I'm in recovery and loving my body no matter what it looks like, as long as I'm healing and well and fucking living my best life - that's all that matters ??♀️?? #healgrowglow

And I said to my body softly "I want to be your friend". It took a long breath and replied "I have been waiting my whole life for this". ✨? @nayyirah.waheed #healgrowglow
