The stunning reality star went on to encourage her followers to feel comfortable in their own skin.
‘My message to you, and the purpose of this post, is that if you’re feeling bad about the snacks you’ve eaten, the workouts you haven’t done and the number on the scale… self loathing won’t fix s**t, trust me!’ she wrote.
‘I’m not looking for sympathy or reassurance… I want you to know that putting on weight is not the end of the world, and if people on social media have something to say about your weight they best have a set of abs or they can f**k right off!’
