Influencer Anna Victoria Reveals She Weighs ‘the Most’ She Ever Has, But Isn’t ‘Even Mad About It’
Feeling good! Anna Victoria took to Instagram on Wednesday, August 14, to share an inspiring message about self-love and body positivity by getting real about her own experiences. The personal trainer, 31, revealed she feels confident in her own skin after gaining some weight.
“Weighing the most I’ve ever weighed in my life currently and I ain’t even mad about it,” she began her lengthy caption. “I posted this on Insta Stories, but I really wanted to share this message. That you can be confident even in the midst of weight gain.”
“You can be confident at ANY size and I strongly believe that,” she continued. “Do I still believe it’s incredibly important to take care of your physical health through exercise and a proper diet? Yes, 100%. But if you’re on your fitness journey, heck, even if you haven’t started your fitness journey, every single person on this earth deserves to love and appreciate their body. Self-hate has no place in this world. And that’s why mental and emotional health is just as important in this journey as your physical health.”
She then encouraged her followers to accept themselves as they are. “So whether you’ve lost 50 lbs and are still working on that last 10, or you’re just now trying to start a fitness journey or maybe you reached your fitness goal and you’re just maintaining, or maybe you never wanted to lose weight to begin with … SHAKE WHAT YA MAMA GAVE YA!!” she concluded.
The social media influencer is also an advocate for natural beauty and recently posted a selfie of her bare face with a powerful message. “While I love posed photos, I don’t want anyone to think for a second they’re a representation of my, or anyone’s, life,” she wrote. “Are there more important things going on in the world than a few zits? Absolutely. But while we’re fighting those big battles, we can fight mini ones too.”
She added, “Here’s your reminder to stop comparing yourself to the perfectly edited, airbrushed, and smoothed photos you see all over Insta.” Well said, girl!
