Sarah Nicole Landry, a body positive content influencer also known as The Bird’s Papaya on social media, is gaining millions of fans by sharing photos of her real body.

Recently, she went viral again after sharing a picture where she wears a white top and black panties, proudly showing her belly, which naturally became loose after her pregnancies.

“This is a repost. And I’m reposting because, honestly, I’m tired. Tired of explaining to countless people every day that our bodies respond to life differently. We are different. Our genetics. Our skin. Everything,” she wrote in the caption.

“Using one person’s body as a measurement of what another’s ‘should’ be is a game where we all lose. If we all lived exactly the same way, ate the same foods, did the same exercises, had the same number of babies, guess what? We would still look different from each other,” Sarah continued.

“I’m so proud to represent a body like mine. I represent it by showing what is often hidden. I do this so that others don’t feel so alone or isolated in their experiences,” she also said.

“I do this so others can see it as something normal for many (even if they’ve never seen it before, even if it’s not their ‘normal’). This is what my body has done for me. For me. Not against me. It may have taken a long time for me to recognize it, but I respect it now,” she added.

The post has already gained over 100,000 likes and hundreds of comments from other women praising Sarah’s work as a body positivity influencer. “Yes, more exposure to normalize. Thank you,” said one follower.

“You are literally the reason I wear bikinis at the beach now. Literally, because your influence on millions of people has allowed me to just let go a little so I can enjoy life like everyone else,” another said.

“I’ve struggled to look at my menopause belly, and your brave and honest posts really help to normalize our bodies. Thank you for helping me be kinder to my body,” shared another fan.
