Blogger gets real about 'least favourite part' of her body in powerful post

Kenzie Brenna is all about promoting self-love, although the body-positive blogger admittedly has days where she questions the love she has for the least favourite part of her body.

The Toronto native recently posted two revealing side-by-side shots on Instagram, where she bared her stretch marks while donning tight jeans and a black lace crop top. The ensuing conversation with herself wasn’t entirely positive.

“They’re not usually this noticeable. If you only had the money to get rid on them,” she said she thought to herself while peering at the marks, before deciding to focus on something positive. “They actually look kinda cool. Sorta like a the beginning of a story.”

The contradictory thoughts concerning her “flaws” ping-ponged back and forth in Brenna’s head — something that many women can admittedly relate to. Brenna encourages women to keep moving forward, and to not dwell on moments where you don’t accept yourself.

“You guys get it, you don’t have to be in love with yourself everyday, but I promise if you practice self love you will have more loving moments with yourself than you could ever dream of,” she added, before reminding her nearly 150,000 followers to keep dreaming, and to keep loving themselves.

In an interview with Yahoo Canada, Brenna says she posts these messages because she wishes that she heard them as a teenager.

“I wish I had someone telling me it was OK to be myself and that I was going to be loved regardless. I hope a girl sees my message and I save her from a moment of hating herself, I hope she can look down and say ‘this is OK,’ instead of ‘this needs to change.'”

The actress and YouTube star has publicly opened up about her extreme weight loss and the resulting sagging skin. She decided to forgo plastic surgery and #embracethesquish — a viral movement that encourages women to embrace their bodies and stop seeing them as flawed.

Brenna was able to connect with other females who struggle with body acceptance and now, through her social media platform, encourages hundreds of thousands of women worldwide to stop feeling ashamed of their bodies and to love themselves, even if it feels wrong or counterintuitive to do so.

“Body love has helped realize that I am a queen, not despite how I look but because of how I look,” Brenna said. “It’s a story that makes me powerful, unique and special. Something I think girls are dying to feel everywhere.”
