"Should one have flawless skin, a lean body and groomed body hair to be considered beautiful? No. Because that idea of beauty is non-existent."She went on to say that beauty is not an elite group that only some people can join, and that everybody has their own reasons for wanting to look the way they do.
"I currently don't shave my leg or armpit hair because it's cold where I live, my skin is breaking out and I do not, nor ever will have a lean tummy with 0 skin folding or minimal amounts of fat. That's the reality."
Sara also shared a photo earlier this month showing how different your body can potentially look when you're standing as opposed to sitting. She said that she used to feel self-conscious about people looking at her stomach on the beach, before she realised that nobody's body looks perfect when they're sitting down. In the post's caption, she wrote:
"You are not fat. We all have fat, especially on our tummies and it's completely normal. And that fat does not make you worth any less as a person!"
Sara describes herself a promoter of "body positivity & self love." She currently has over 105,000 followers on her Instagram account, where she posts fitness and food related posts. She also regularly shares images of her body from different angles to show how social media often warps our perceptions of reality.
