Shaughna Phillips has candidly discussed her journey to body positivity, and reflected on how unhappy she was when she was slimmer.
The Love Island star has long documented her journey to find body positivity, and urged her 1.5 million Instagram followers to “separate (their) happiness from (their) body image”.
Shaughna, 27, said of some of the throwback photos she recently shared: “I picked apart my body in so many different ways. I always felt like the big girl, I was so self conscious.
I just didn’t think I was very worthy of anything. “Looking back, I just want to give that girl a cuddle because I was fine, but I missed out on so much life, just because I was worried about what I looked like.” She continued: “Ultimately, the kind of message I’m trying to get across is that we need to separate our happiness from our body image, because we wrap up so much importance and so much of our happiness into what we look like - but we’re fine as we look.” Shaughna went on to say that she exercises “for the mental benefits”, and branded herself “a horrible person” when she doesn’t work out.The Strictly the Real Full Monty dancer further divulged into her difficult relationship with body image after sharing a string of photos of herself while on Love Island, and on previous holidays.
