‘Bachie’ Sweetheart Elly Miles Opens Up About Body Confidence Journey On Instagram

‘Bachie’ sweetheart Elly Miles has opened up about her body confidence issues in a recent Instagram post.

The 25-year-old was a fan favourite in Matt Agnew’s season of ‘The Bachelor’, and despite not winning his heart, she sure won ours.

Elly, who works as a nurse when she’s not winning hearts, shared two bikini photos from different days to demonstrate how completely normal it is to feel and look different depending on the day. One photo depicted Elly feeling “toned and fabulous”, while the other showed her feeling “bloated and fluffy.”

“I was feeling all kinds of sad and would look in the mirror and put myself down. It’s so important to love the skin your in – at all stages of life!” She said in the long Instagram post.

Changing my mindset has been the best thing I could’ve done for myself & my happiness in the last few months! ☺️ Boy oh boy, I was feeling all kinds of sad and would look in the mirror and put myself down ????????‍♀️ it’s so important to love the skin your in – at all stages of life! It’s very easy in today’s society to get wrapped up in how your body should look & compare yourself to others. I can’t stress enough how important it is to have realistic goals! Own yourself, own your body – & love it! At the end of the day a lot of us are SO LUCKY to have a healthy, functioning body. ????????✌???? There are those out there who have chronic pain/illnesses & injuries that prevent them from performing tasks that we take for granted everyday, E.g: walking, running, jumping! Instead of focusing on what’s wrong with your body, try to focus on what’s RIGHT with it ???????? Sometimes you’re feeling toned & fabulous – sometimes you’re feeling bloated & fluffy. That’s just life! Both are you, both are GREAT ???????? It’s not easy, & you may have to work on it a bit everyday! But if you can change your mindset, you can change your whole outlook on life ☀️
