Plus size model, Latecia Thomas, has revealed she feels happier when she’s curvier.
The social media star, who has more than 540,000 followers, hopes that sharing her story will help other women be more body confident.
She took to Instagram to tell her followers that “it’s important to love yourself regardless of your size”.
In a post that’s been liked more than 92,000 times in a week, she shared before and after snaps of her transformation.
On the left, she posed for a mirror selfie with her toned tum on show. In the second image, a curvier Latecia poses confidently in a revealing bikini.
The model accompanied these photos with an inspirational message.
She confessed: “I loathed how I looked on the left, and yes that is ME in both pictures.
“I was insecure, I compared my self to other women, constantly put myself down and never felt good enough, I’d rather be caught dead than seen in a swimsuit.
“The difference now other than the obvious is that I’m in a different mindset.”
Even though Latecia feels more content after gaining weight, she admitted that this won’t be the case for everyone.
She added: “I’m not saying that you will be happier on the opposite spectrum but I think it’s important to have a positive relationship between your mind and your body first and foremost at whatever size you may be.”
The Instagrammer’s post has been met with a largely positive reaction.
