But aspiring plus-sized model Jazzy is calling bullsh*t on the belief that fit bodies hold the key to a happy and healthy relationship. The body-positive blogger said to hell with that theory - and is encouraging women everywhere to do the same - via a powerful Instagram post. Jazzy posted a photo of her bikini-clad self, hand-in-hand with her husband who boasts a near-eight pack, bulging biceps and solid pecs but while a picture can say a thousand words, it's the caption that's struck a chord with her female following.
Jazzy wrote: "Over the years this man has loved every curve, every roll, and every stretch mark on my body. I never understood why! How could he love something that isn't "perfect"? How could a man who was "born fit" love someone like me!
"I don't have a flat stomach, I jiggle when I walk, hell if I run up the stairs too fast my body claps (lmao)!! But now I see I do have the "perfect" body!! Every roll, every curve and every stretch mark is put on me just perfect to make both of us happy!!! I love my body and I finally see why he does too!!"
So next time you find yourself feeling envious of super-toned celebrities and their similarly-sculpted significant others (not mentioning any names, ahem, Lousie Thompson and Ryan Libbey), just remember he's with you because he loves you.
