Social media star Bella Davis has taken to her Instagram page to pose completely naked for a body positive post.
The Australian influencer, who boasts 195,000 followers, is known for her messages of self-love.
And this one was no different, as the brunette told her fans that you 'don't owe anyone thinness' as she showed off her curves.
The first photo saw Bella posed side-on as she put her nude body on display.
The influencer made sure to cover her intimate area though, thanks to good hand placement and posing.
Alongside her figure, she put her tattoos on show, which include several intricate arm drawings and wording around her waist.
Written over the photo was the words "Stop apologising for your body, you don't owe anyone thinness".
A second photo saw Bella smiling happily as she posed in a black lingerie set.
Written over this was: "I refuse to supply society with a reason for my weight gain because I don't need a reason."
Meanwhile a third snap saw Bella return to her naked state as she posed on a bed and pouted.
She reminded fans again they don't owe their partner, family, themselves or society thinness.
Captioning the post, Bella wrote: "When I first gained weight, I found it incredibly difficult to navigate.
"I gained weight quickly, and my body was left with reminders of that weight gain.
"Evidence that showed the changes my body endured. My thighs now rub against each other, which causes chafe when I walk. My stomach is squishy, soft and rolls even when I’m standing. My boobs have grown rapidly, which has left them aching and sagging. My thighs are covered in dimples, bumps and stretch marks. My arms and lower stomach are laced with cellulite and online shopping has become somewhat of a disaster."
She added: "For decades society has claimed that weight gain is something to be ashamed of and that visible body changes are flaws.
"So, therefore, when I gained weight, I began apologising for my body. I punished it for taking up space and supplied those around me with a reason for my weight gain. I truly thought that weight gain was the worst thing that could ever happen to me, but I was wrong.
"Sacrificing my happiness, destroying my relationships, restricting my body’s wants, avoiding dinners out and allowing a number on the scale to control how I felt about myself was."
Bella continued: "I thought I owed the world a thinner body. But the truth is, I don’t owe anyone thinness and neither do you.
"Not your family. Not society. Not your partner. Not your friend. Not a stranger on the internet. Not even yourself.
"But you do owe yourself compassion and kindness. The body you live in now may be softer, heavier and rounder than before but that doesn’t make it any less worthy of being seen, held, felt, embraced and celebrated. It’s okay if your body changed. You do not need to justify your weight gain. You do not have to apologise for your body and you do not owe ANYONE thinness. So be extra kind to yourself and remember I love you."
Fans thanked the influencer for the inspiring post, as one exclaimed: "This! I wish someone had told me this as a young adult (when I was at my thinnest but most critical)."
While another added: "Resonates with me so much. Thank you for sharing."
A third gushed: "I absolutely love your content and your positivity and I hope you know how many people need exactly what you do on a daily basis – keep it up!"
The post comes after Bella recently shared two bikini pictures to show how much her body has changed in five years.
