Ariella Nyssa from Australia is encouraging women to post pictures of themselves that reflect what they really look like, rather than the picture-perfect images society expects

She often posts unfiltered bikini pictures of herself, unapologetically flaunting parts of her body she used to be ashamed of.

The body-positive model also uses her platform of transparency to push women to do the same, regardless of what others think.

“This photo would have rotted away in my camera roll. I and many of us look past photos like this because we ‘weren’t ready’ or it’s an ‘unflattering’ look,” Nyssa wrote with a photo of herself sitting in a bikini with her natural stomach showing.

“This moment is just as beautiful as any ‘posed’ or filtered moment!!! Let’s see the beauty in the REALNESS of life!” she added.

Some women even opened up about their own body insecurities.

“I’ve always felt insecure with my tummy because it’s alwayssss bloated I feel like I’ve never had a flat tummy no matter how much I work out and I’ve always been embarrassed by it!” another follower wrote. “I’ve been working on being more confident and accepting my little tummy and understanding that it’s normal!”
