. Tess_Holliday shares powerful message of self-love: 'To radically love yourself is hard work, but my god it’s worth it'
Tess Holliday, the plus-size model and outspoken proponent of body positivity, has built a successful career all while advocating self-love. However, in a recent Instagram post, Holliday admits that choosing to love your body is not an easy feat.
"It’s not easy to choose love towards a body that so many find 'disgusting,' [and] sometimes I wonder if that’s why so many of us spend so much time hating ourselves," the model wrote."To radically love yourself is hard work, but my god it’s worth it." “To be able to share my stories and to keep going despite so many obstacles in my way, to be able to see beauty where others see none, that’s my gift," Holliday wrote."I chose myself, and I hope whoever is reading this can do the same."
"Seeing bodies like yours on social media has changed my life," one person commented."I no longer cry after seeing photos of my body. I actually like my body after so many years of vehemently hating it, and you have helped me get there with your openness about your own body. Thank you. So much."
