Same girl, same day, same time. Not a before and after. Not a weight loss transformation. Not a diet company promotion. I am comfortable with my body in both. Neither is more or less worthy. Neither makes me more or less of a human being. Neither invites degrading comments and neither invites sleezy words.
On the left, you see Millie with her tights pulled up high. On the right, her black tights hang lower, showing her stomach.
"We are so blinded to what a real unposed body looks like and blinded to what beauty is," she said. "Don't compare, just live for you," Millie told her followers.
