AceShowbiz - Model Sailor Brinkley-Cook is struggling with body dysmorphia issues and remnants of a past eating disorder.
Instead of looking forward to beach days in her bikini this summer, Christie Brinkley's 21-year-old daughter admits she's full of insecurities about showing off her body, and she took to Instagram over the weekend (May 24) to share her problems.
"I'm so F**king sick and tired of the photoshop," she wrote, quoting lyrics from rapper Kendrick Lamar's track "HUMBLE.", and adding she's not happy with her perceived flaws and weight gain.
"I've been so down on myself recently," she added. "Crying about my cellulite, letting the fat on my body ruin my day, getting mad that I'm not as skinny as I once was."
Sailor also revealed that her body battle has triggered a past eating disorder: "Left over eating disorder tendencies have been coming in strong," she continued. "As I come into myself as a young woman my body shifts and changes by the month, the 'control' I felt I once had over it has been completely stripped away from me. Hormones, emotions, growing pains."
Despite her difficulty, she ended the post with an upbeat note, encouraging others to accept how they look and not compare themselves to others.
"(I am) declaring that I have cellulite, and a stomach that doesn't always look 'pleasant' (whatever the f**k that means) and I am (a) 100% imperfect human (sic)," she concluded. "And I'm proud as hell of my body! If you're out there hating on yourself, stop!! Appreciate yourself. You're body is so magical. That's all. Have a nice day."
