"I told myself that one day I would finally let myself be seen; I would finally do all of the things I dreamed of when I was enough," she wrote on Facebook. "Thin enough, happy enough, confident enough. When my body looked the way that it was 'supposed' to... And then I got tired of waiting."

She ended her post with this: "I want to learn to love all of myself, not just the parts I've been told are 'acceptable.'"

Dozens of women responded to her post saying they admired her and were inspired by her.
