Bridget Malcolm on Gaining Weight: “This Girl Is Not Fat”

(Instagram)

Bridget Malcolm is among many supermodels changing the game about body image and self-love as she posts a picture on Instagram about gaining weight and that the new her is not fat.

This Victoria’s Secret model loves the skin she is in. The 26-year-old model posted a picture on Instagram of herself in a bikini with the caption, “This girl is not fat,” and described the challenges to fit a certain body type for modeling.

According to E! News, she said, “I threw away my scales, my measuring tape, and my body checking. I threw away all my clothes from when I was at my smallest. I deleted all the gym selfies from my Instagram, and all of the “progress” shots from my phone. Basically, I wanted no point of reference any more of a time when I was smaller, or larger. I just wanted to stop looking in mirrors and telling myself that I was ‘too fat’, and ‘not doing enough.'”

For over 12 years, the runway model has been in a constant rollercoaster of a relationship with her body, but feels free and is ready to embrace her inner happiness.
