When it comes to body image, self-love is always the way to go. Just ask Olivia, whose Instagram handle is @selfloveliv. Her social media sites document her recovery from an eating disorder and chronic self-harm. Her pictures scream “body positivity,” including this one:

In the left image, she’s wearing shapewear to cover up. In the right image, they’re pulled down, exposing parts of her body. Olivia uses several images like these on her Instagram to show others that it doesn’t matter how you look. You are perfect the way you are, and you should embrace everything about yourself.
For Olivia, it’s all about comfort. She says she couldn’t breathe while wearing shapewear. She says they felt “tight, uncomfortable, and restricted.” She went on to say she doesn’t need shapewear to feel good about herself. She’s fine with herself the way she is, and everyone should be.
It’s not just about clothes either. Olivia wants to remind people everywhere that you don’t need anything, shapewear or makeup, to be beautiful. Just be comfortable in your own skin.
That’s not to say Olivia was always this way, but she learned to love herself, and that’s what her Instagram is all about.
