How many times have you stopped wearing a garment because you thought your silhouette was too full? And how many times have you felt insecure about going to the beach or pool thinking you don't have the right to wear a bikini?
Unfortunately, most women feel very ashamed of their bodies because they do not live up to their current ideal of beauty and end up having fun or even spending fortunes seeking weight loss treatments.
This situation was no different for Jasmine Grimes, a 24-year-old California blogger who works as a plus size model. Black and obese, she also tried to hide her body, wanting him to take up less space.
But now Jasmine has managed to overcome her insecurity, and through her Instagram profile, filled with photos of her wearing only lingerie, the blogger encourages other women to love their bodies.
Will take selfie of fat lady in lingerie yes
Following her own experience, Jasmine argues that viewing photos of fat women in lingerie helps other women with the same body type to accept themselves. "I used to scour Instagram for pictures of women with the same biotype as me showing their bodies," said the blogger, saying it encouraged her to do the same.

? This allowed me to see people with stretch marks, cellulite and? Tire? Marks. and say, "I'm like that too," Jasmine declared, stressing the importance of being able to recognize herself in other women's photos.
Like most things on the Internet, Jasmine's photos caused controversy, and she received a lot of comments that accused her of wanting attention. ?I do not agree with this. Women post lingerie selfies to celebrate their bodies and inspire other women to try and be as brave as they are, she said.
Despite this, several followers show their gratitude to Jasmine's selfies. "Seeing other bodies like mine and completely different ones really helped me accept my own body," commented one of Jasmine's fans.
In her posts, the blogger proudly displays her silhouette, stretch marks and cellulite accompanied by self-esteem messages that encourage women to accept themselves. Check out:
1. Silence these negative thoughts in your head. I know it's hard. I know it hurts, but they are wrong about you.
2. Stop hating yourself and accept your perfect imperfections.
3. Remember that taking care of yourself is extremely important and that it's okay if you take time out for yourself.
4. Sound the alarms! There's a plus size woman who loves her body just the way it is! See how your stretch marks, thick thighs and flat stomach are being exposed to the world! What a radical! Hahaha, kidding.?
5. My goal is to be the representation that I never had and always needed. There is nothing wrong with being who you are. Remember this.?
6. Loving your body means having good and bad days with it. Do not think you are doing wrong if in a few days you look in the mirror and sigh. It's normal.?
7. There is nothing wrong with the skin you inhabit.
Certainly, finding references to your body type in the media and on the internet is a good way to self-acceptance. After all, how to believe you are? Normal? If you don't see anyone else with your body type succeeding, do you?
