Amy Schumer’s Instagram post is the body positive love we needed
Amy Schumer is a legitimate star. The actress has been gathering up some impressive awards of late. Not only did her hilarious TV series Inside Amy Schumer take home an Emmy award last week, she’s also got a Peabody Award and a Critic’s Choice Television Award to her name.
Now she has another trophy to add to her collection: Best Body.
The 34-year old shared a hilarious photo on Instagram that captured the very moment she was announced the winner of the Best Body award. She appears to be both shocked and delighted with her win.
Her caption is probably the best part though: “There are so many foods I want to thank.”
The comedian is not someone who is afraid to poke fun at herself, and how often brings up the topic of body image online and in her work.
While she often makes joke about her own weight, she tends to make a very clear point that she is happy and confident just how she is, and other women shouldn’t feel the pressure to slim down either.
“It’s very therapeutic for me to be like, ‘Yes, I’m not going to look like a malnourished bird,’ and I like speaking to that, as well as speaking to my work and what I’m doing,” she told reporters during the press tour for Trainwreck.
"I'm not going to apologize for who I am, and I'm going to actually love the skin that I'm in. And I'm not going to be striving for some other version of myself,” she said at the Glamour UK Women of the Year ceremony.
Also, let us never forget the time she photobombed the entire cast of Game of Thrones:
We have a lot of love for Amy Schumer right now.
