Model

If your girlfriend is saying, 'Ugh, look at my stretch marks, look at my rolls,' don't say, 'Yeah, I hate my thighs, too.' Say, 'No, you look really cute today - and I feel good, too!'

You don't always need to be this flawless female with amazing skin and done hair. Perfect doesn't exist.

I'm very aware I have very young people following me - 11- and 12-year-olds. I want to do things that are aspirational, so I'm not going to pick a picture that's unattractive - even in the sense of lighting and angles - but I make sure that it's realistic. It is me, and it is my body. I wouldn't put anything out there that isn't real.

I started when I was 13 years old by entering 'Elle Girl''s search for the next supermodel in the U.K. I got to the finals and was signed by Storm.

I'm very much a positive person - I put good energy out there - so I don't feel like anyone would want to do anything nasty to me.

I felt like the sample size was right, and my body was wrong. I basically ended up going into battle with my body, and that's a daily battle every time you look in the mirror. Every time you see an image of a successful model or someone who you look up to who doesn't look like you, you think you're not good enough.

When I joined Instagram, I began sharing my raw photos along with my raw and honest thoughts and feelings.

I always encourage other people to share a story and voices. That is so important.

Invest in brands that make you feel good and that you believe in.

I remember Googling operations to make my calves slimmer, and I ate only ham for a week to try and become skinny.

I didn't always have a lot of self confidence growing up.

I was a 'straight-size' model from 13 to 16, but I was eventually dropped by the agency because my hips were too big.

Every agency would mention my hips. I remember looking at the other models and thinking, 'I do not look like these girls.'

People often ask me, 'Who is your role model?' and it sounds a bit cliche, but I've been trying to be my own model.

When you get to that point where you don't have to worry and you don't have to think about it... I'm pretty sure that's the best diet you can be on.

The most important relationship we have in our lives is the relationship we have with ourselves, and we're not taught about it.

My thighs are great!

I had had my own trials and tribulations with body image. I had gone through a lot starting from my teenage years.

I just spent five, six years sacrificing so much to try and fit into that one ideal, that one small standard, and I was never good enough. And it was just frustration that turned into motivation... That became my ammunition, all the people that told me I couldn't.

Girls shouldn't be worried about their cellulite or their rolls. Or anything that makes us real.
