"Happy Valentines - Love your body and normalise imperfections on social media," she typed. "Couldn’t think of a better day to accept every part of ourselves!
"My tummy has always been one of my biggest insecurities it’s where I gain weight and I suffer with being very bloated at times. But you know what that’s normal!
"So we shouldn’t be made to feel like it isn’t. Growing up and still to this day sometimes I still feel the need to look picture perfect but it isn’t day to day life.
"We have good days, bad days and all the days in-between. I felt like I had to lose weight to fit in with the low waist skirt and cargo fashion trend otherwise people would stare at my tummy and assume I was pregnant or comment on it.
"And you know what I went out in low waist the other day and didn’t care!! Everyday I choose me over anyone so I owe it to myself to love every part of me to posed and unposed. If I can do it YOU can too . Love you all Lib."
YouTube beauty twins Lucy and Lydia Connell praised: "You’re amazing Liberty." jaquik1966 applauded: "This is such a strong message to young impressionable girls. I wish more media personalities were like that. The most important love is loving yourself."
looneykitten3 told her: "Thanks for keeping it real lady!! Too many girls out here are suffering low self esteem, trying to keep up with what they think is a perfect world when the reality is that our imperfections are what make us original & what actually makes us perfect! The world would be a pretty boring place if we all looked the same xx"
