5 celebs whose body confidence will inspire you

accreditation

It's so easy to feel less than self-confident when you look at celebs on magazine covers or on TV. It's enough to make you swear off doughnuts for the rest of your life, and then you end up buying a pack anyway so you can comfort eat.

But ever now and then, a celeb breaks the illusion and lets us know that they are not some perfect alien species that are born without flaws.

Not only do these celebs show us that they are just like us (bless them), but they're also happy with the way they look, and that confidence inspires us to love ourselves too. 

Here are 5 of our favourite celebs whose body confidence will make you feel good about yourself. Because you are perfect too. 

1. Chrissy Teigen

Just when we thought we couldn't love Chrissy any more, she posted this pic on Instagram where she gives a shout out to her stretch marks. The picture quickly went viral and had a phenomenal response with many people thanking the super cute model for being a positive influence.

2. Mindy Kaling

The ever inspirational Mindy is not afraid to tell it like it is, and sometimes doesn't understand the people who praise her for wearing certain clothing. In an article posted on Huffington Post, Mindy said that she receives many back handed compliments about her body confidence and insists that she is not being courageous by loving her body and wearing what she wants - she just likes it.

3. Kim Kardashian

Kim has never claimed to be perfect. She's said that having cellulite is not a crime and that she has it and doesn't care according to an article from the Mail Online. You go, Kim!

4. Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson shut the haters up with so much class. According to Buzzfeed, when British personality Katie Hopkins dissed Kelly's weight repeatedly on Twitter, she simply said it doesn't bother her, because she doesn't care what people think. For Kelly the most important thing is being happy, confident and feeling good - regardless of your size.
