I’m a plus-size woman – I embrace my cellulite and stretch mark, it’s so normal and won’t stop me wearing a bikini
A BODY positive role model is urging other big women to love every inch of their bodies.
This includes things most women do their best to hide or disguise.
But TikToker Juicetea (@juicetee) embraces the dreaded cellulite and stretch marks.
For years famous celebrity women of all sizes have been outed for having the temerity to have these body marks.
They still carry a sense of shame.
Listen up, says Juicetea, they are normal, and she wants to dispel the negative myths around them.
Instead, she says, embrace them, love them, and show them off.
Wearing a cute bikini, she stands in front of a shimmering swimming pool.
“Here are a few things to keep in mind this summer,” she says, wearing cool Aviator shades.
Pointing at her belly rolls, she says, “This is fine.”
Big calves are also fine she asserts.
Directing attention to her dimpled upper thighs, she says: “This is fine.”
Smiling at the camera, with full body – and curves on display – she reminds her fans that: “This is fine.”
Followers loved her attitude and felt reassured by her stance.
“You made me feel so much better to see others who can relate and still feel confident,” was the response of one grateful follower.
You’re an inspiration said many others: “Thank you for representing us. You’re gorgeous and your confidence is so comforting.”
There were more accolades: “You are so beautiful and so many people, including me, are grateful you posted this.”
Juicetea was speaking the language many needed to hear: “I needed this. I’ve never seen someone have the same body shape as me. Thank you for this. I need to be this confident.”
Finally, keep it up: “Thank you for the reminder and for being body positive and brave.”
