SHE spent years hiding her chubby belly – but now this size 22 model is proudly flaunting her curves.
The rising internet sensation Olivia (@OliviasWorld95), from Toronto, is a plus-size model who has gained a huge Instagram following for spreading body positive content.
The young stunner, 27, boasts close to a whopping 400k fans on her platform where she regularly shares uplifting messages.
But whilst the Fashion Nova Curve ambassador may now gleam in confidence, this hasn’t always been the case, as she recently bravely opened up about her past self-esteem struggles.
In a more recent snap, the plus-size fashionista confidently showed off her chubby stomach in a grey bra and nude knickers.
However, despite her glamorous appearance with brunette hair in waves and a red carpet-ready make-up, Olivia admitted that she wasn’t this confident growing up.
The model, who has 44H boobs, spent numerous years concealing her body due to not loving her appearance.
To illustrate her journey, Olivia wrote an open letter to her stomach, expressing regret for despising it for such a long time.
”Dear belly, I’m sorry for hating you,” she started the touching post.
”For the longest time I wished you didn’t exist and dreamed of having a flatter version of you.
”I wore clothes that hid you from the world, thinking I was protecting you from judgement of others.
”I now realize it was my shame of you that kept you tucked away.
”But I’ve learned that you didn’t deserve to be an insecurity.
”You positively shaped my identity as a confident plus size woman.”
She went on: ”Learning to love you changed my life for the better.”
Olivia also acknowledged that trolls may suggest her to shed the pounds to be considered “pretty”, but she no longer cares what others have to say.
The brunette beauty claimed her tummy is already beautiful because it’s a part of her.
Since sharing the glamorous and sexy snaps online, thousands of fans have liked them, and many were quick to tell her how “gorgeous” the influencer looked.
One person gushed: “You always look amazing. When I’m feeling insecure in my clothes I look at one of your posts and say ‘hey, that’s my belly shape too. She rocks it, and so can I.”
Another chimed in: “Gorgeous. Please tell me how you learned to love your belly. I’m trying to love mine, and it’s not going so great.”
Someone else praised Olivia for the content: “Love this. We need more body positivity, and less trolls who tend to shame plus-size women.
”We all come in different shapes and sizes. We are all beautiful.”
