"This is not a transformation pic, not a before and after weight loss pic, there's no miracle product I'm pushing.

These pics were taken a couple of days apart," she explained. "The only difference? I was on my period on the picture on the leftand not on my period in the picture on the right. (Oh and I've got a bit of slap on on the right)." Vicky continued: "Throughout the course of our lives our bodies are going to change- whether that be through puberty, or through illness, if we're blessed enough we carry children or maybe our bodies change because we go through a global pandemic and gain 10 pound of banana bread round our midriffs - so much change, all the time." She asked: "Why are we still so cruel to ourselves and our changing bodies?

We need to be more accepting of life's ebbs and flows and our body's evolution. "We need to stop beating ourselves up for every pound gained or every bit of muscle definition lost.
