Gabby Allen has shared a candid Instagram post detailing her struggles with body confidence as she posted gallery of ʙικιɴι-clad snaps on Thursday.
The Love Island star, 32, showed off her toned physique in a skimpy white ʙικιɴι and in a lengthy caption admitted she’s ‘trying to reframe how she perceives herself’.
In her post, Gabby shared a list of body parts she’s struggled to accept in recent years, and said that while others ᴀssume she’s fully embraced her body, that is far from the case.
Gabby, who last month underwent a correct boob job after botched surgery, showed off her gym-honed figure in the barely-there white ʙικιɴι in the collection of snaps.
She wrote: ‘5ft 2, big wonky ribs, hip dips, no waist – straight up and down, not thin enough but definitely not fat enough to moan, flat chested, chunky legs, arms too wide in pictures, bum not perky enough, not quite pretty enough…
‘These are just a few of the things I have been given a hard time for AND/OR given myself a hard time over in the past and for transparency, some.
‘I still have back and forth with now – apart from the flat chestedness… not any more b*****s!
‘Sometimes (all the time) I worry about how I come across on social media, I don’t wanna be too IN YA FACE, or appear ”big headed” or sl***y or not fitness enough or not fashun enough or just like a t**t
‘But then I see some other girls posts and I’m like YES girl! They look unreal and I would love to post similar stuff but the I don’t because of ALL of the above- people’s opinions and my opinion of myself.
‘The reason I’m writing this is because I’m sure there are people out there, and I’ve been told people think I’m ᴅᴇᴀᴅ confident and have ‘my sh*t together’ but in actual fact, I don’t at all & that’s okay.
‘But I’m going to keep f*****g trying! (Still trying since Love Island days when I had my lil meltdown)
‘It IS actually something I’m actively now working on. At the end of the day, no one’s opinions should really matter about ourself, apart from our own.
‘I’m trying to reframe how perceive myself in the mirror. Instead of picking out bits I’m trying to change, I’m trying to see the bits I like.
