Celebrities who let their fans in on their lives tend to build stronger relationships. For some stars like Selena Gomez though, that is often followed by a series of trolls and topics of gossip. But despite everything (including her multiple social media detox attempts), Selena Gomez has only ever kept it real. A comparison revealed on her Instagram stories shows a throwback picture from a poolside summer day in a bikini where she is relatively lean as against the next slide from a recent holiday. She captioned the throwback picture saying, "Today, I realized I will never look like this again..." revealing a chiselled physique in a zebra-printed bikini and sunglasses.
The next image is captioned, "I'm not perfect but I am proud to be who I am.. sometimes I forget it's ok to be me" with a picture of her rear profile in a black and white bikini. Her figure looks nothing like what it used to but after her battle with lupus and natural changes to her body, Selena Gomez has a different but very positive approach to how she perceives her physical image. A reality check not just for the star herself but for everyone around her is a lesson on body positivity.
Selena Gomez's ups and downs with her mental and physical health have had direct implications for her physique and conscience. But the singer-actress flipped it 180 to become a strong advocate for body positivity and mental health awareness and continues to remain candid about her journey.
