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

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.

This girl is not fat. I remember around when this photo was taken, I had been told that I needed to lose weight. Not for the first time and not for the last time. Always fun trying to act like you’re confident and happy in swimwear when you’re at war with your body…

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.
