Honest: Vicky Pattison posted candid snaps in workout gear from two different angles on Saturday and said both are ‘perfectly healthy’

The brunette beauty wrote underneath: ‘This is NOT a ‘before & after’ pic.. Both these pictures are an accurate representation of what I look like taken minutes apart. 

‘Both of these pictures are perfectly show a healthy, happy & strong woman & it is important we acknowledge that.

‘As I posed away in the mirror this morning before my workout as I often do, about to pop up a boomerang of myself in my nice new workout gear that does loads for my figure, in my skinny mirror that I love oh so much, with my body contorted into that perfect shape that I know does me all the favours- I thought to myself: What a tosser you are.’

She then went on to explain that growing up she felt ‘incredibly insecure’ about her body and that the feeling stayed with her well into her 20s. 

She continued: ‘Now as a woman in her 30’s am I beginning to address it. I hated my squishy bits, my cellulite, my so called ‘flaws’.I’d even go as far as to say I hated my curves. 

‘And looking back it was easy to see why. Normal women, real women, women filled with perfect imperfections were WILDLY unrepresented when I was growing up & I started to believe that if I wanted to be considered beautiful or attractive that I had to look like the women I saw in the magazines or on tv.’

She then explained that when she was thrust into the TV industry her insecurities were ‘exacerbated’ and ‘snowballed’ into ‘toxic and unhealthy habits’. 

Vicky also said that young girls are ‘bombarded’ with unrealistic images on social media which left her ‘terrified, heartbroken and vowing to do better.’

She signed off by saying: ‘Posting this first picture on its own would have validated me, I would have got loads of likes & nice compliments.

‘But by posting the second picture I am hopefully saying to a whole heap of amazing, beautiful & REAL women that all our bodies are beautiful, no matter what shape, size or how much squish we have. 

‘I’m also telling you that not everything is as it seems- especially on social media.

‘Forget filters or good angles: You are all beautiful- remember that.’
