Stacey Solomon shows off ‘extra skin’ on her stomach after weight loss as she admits she’s ‘lost body confidence’
STACEY Solomon proudly showed off the "extra skin" on her stomach after losing weight in lockdown, admitting that she has "lost body confidence".
The 30-year-old star encouraged followers to love their bodies as she reflected on "not being very kind to herself" after being left disappointed by her stomach's appearance.
Taking to her Instagram page, Stacey shared a beaming snap of herself sitting beside son Rex, who is staring up at her in admiration.
The TV favourite is wearing a fluffy white crop top and matching hotpants, with her stomach exposed.
Opening up, the mother-of-three captioned the post: "I Love My Body. It is changing all of the time so it takes some getting used to now and again…
"But thank goodness it does change because if it didn’t I wouldn’t have that smile to wake up to every morning, or those big brothers of his either…
"Seeing all of your body confidence posts yesterday and today just reminded me of how much I miss being nice to myself. I’ve lost weight recently for some reason and I didn’t lose my skin with it 🤣
"So I’ve not been very nice to myself about it, which isn’t like me at all.
"Your posts have reminded me that I am beautiful and every BODY is different and that’s what makes them special.
"You are the only you and that is perfect IMO. Cellulite is pretty, Stretch marks are glitter, extra skin is extra so it’s got to be good right?
"Feel like I’ve got a special offer on skin �� I love you all to the moon and back. Be nice to yourself. Because that’s what you deserve 🖤".
Posting to her Instagram Story, Stacey continued: "I have lost my confidence with my body a bit in the last few months, which isn't like me.
"I think it's because I've lost a bit of weight but I've gained a bit of extra skin."
Stacey's fans were quick to praise her for her honesty, commenting on the post to thank the star for her words.
One wrote: "You are incredible I actually love everything you post and your stories you are getting me through such a rough time at the moment."
Another added: "Absolutely beautiful inside and out 💕 and inspiration to so many for just being you. Just look at the way little Rex looks at you 💙 Keep shining Stace xxx"
A third agreed: "You are one of the most genuine down to earth people on here 💖 You're doing amazing 💓💓💓".
