Chrissy Teigen admits Instagram makes her feel insanely inadequate
So, if there's one thing we can all agree on it's that Chrissy Teigen is the human embodiment of pure sunshine, and while no one if perfect, she comes pretty damn close.
But, even the undisputed queen of Twitter feels insecure from time to time.
The US model often uses social media to speak candidly about her own struggles, and now, during a recent speech at Beautycon LA, she has revealed there are times when she cries to her husband, John Legend, about the shape of her body.
Was really awesome to be able to speak at @BeautyCon. Thank you guys for having me! https://t.co/WANfMggQor

“There have been times I've cried to John, where I felt like I would never have 'that' body. Everyone has a butt now and curves and a little waist and that's not me … I'm jealous of those bodies and I want that, but I also feel like I really want to be cool with my body because of people like you guys,” she said.
Chrissy admitted she often feels “insanely inadequate” after comparing herself to other women on Instagram.
"My old ass will go on social media, and I will look at the Photoshopping, Facetuning, and the apps — and everything that goes into creating what is now a hit Instagram photo.”
Chrissy's comments prove that even supermodels feel insecure and that no good can come from comparing yourself to images on social media which have been enhanced or altered in some way.
She went on to suggest that instead of picking out our so-called “flaws”, we should celebrate our bodies, stretch marks and all.
"I've been on shoots, I've been naked-to-naked with people, and I will say that everyone has a stretch mark. Every time I see that other stretch mark, I'm like, 'Girl, yes!' It makes me feel better, and if more of us did that kind of sh*t, how many people would feel better?"
Yes Chrissy!
