‘I parade my cuʀvᴇs in ʙικιɴιs – being a size zero doesn’t make you happy’

Ariella Nyssa is known for showing off her cuʀvᴇs to her 750,000 Instagram followers. In a recent post she stripped down to a teeny ʙικιɴι and said being a size 0 wouldn’t make her happy

A body positive babe poured her cuʀvᴇs into a teeny ʙικιɴι and said being a size zero wouldn’t make her happy.

Ariella Nyssa is known for showing off her natural bod, and sharing her story with her over 750,000 Instagram followers.

In a recent post she stripped down to slinky swimwear to remind people every body is a ʙικιɴι body.

She shared a number of snaps of herself which showed her modelling a brown ʙικιɴι with a matching sarong.

The skimpy number allowed her to show off her curvy bod, and she even flashed a little underboob and booty in the slinky outfit.

Ariella truly embraced her natural beauty as she posed for the camera and showed off her tummy creases, cellulite and tattoos.

Writing on Instagram, Ariella said: “Comparison is the thief of joy.

“I’ll be real with you, the last few months I have compared myself a lot to other people.

“But the thing is you never know what is going behind the scenes.

“‘Maybe I should lose some weight, the haters are right’, ‘maybe I should dress more like her’, ‘maybe I should have my life together more’, ‘maybe I would be happier if I was a size 0’.

“These thoughts are torturous and I know I’m not alone in thinking this way.

“And that’s the thing that brings me back to reality. EVERYONE has down days.

“Everyone has negative thoughts about their bodies, their personalities, their lives.

“But it doesn’t mean we should believe them.”

She told her followers everyone was put on the earth for a reason, and everyone is unique in their own way.

For Ariella, this is very important, and she said everyone has down days where they get “sucked into” comparing themselves to other people.

The key to getting through it, she said, is baring in mind that social media doesn’t always reflect real life.

“We are all human,” she added.

“Imperfectly human. And that to me is the most beautiful thing in the world.”

Since she shared the post more than 17,000 people have liked it, and they were quick to comment too.

Her followers love the way she embraces her bod, and encourages other women to do the same.

One person said: “You make me feel so confident.”

Another added: “You inspire, empower and heal me so much.

“Thank you beautiful.”

Meanwhile, a third commented: “Wow – so beautiful.”
