Sailor wrote: "I’m so f**king sick and tired of the photoshop.

"I’ve been so down on myself recently. Crying about my cellulite, letting the fat on my body ruin my day, getting mad that I’m not as skinny as I once was.

"The body dysmorphia and left over-eating disorder tendencies have been coming in strong."

She continued: "As I come into myself as a young woman my body shifts and changes by the month, the “control” I felt I once had over it has been completely stripped away from me.

"Hormones, emotions, growing pains. I go on Instagram and scroll through photos of girls that look “perfect”.. shiny skin with not a bump to be seen, tiny little waist and thighs that look like chopsticks. And I compare myself, as if how someone on an app on my phone looks should directly correlate to how I feel about my body?"

She went on to reveal that she runs every day and visits the gym six times a week and has learned that she is "lucky to have two legs and a healthy body that takes me through life."

Sailor concluded: I’m so tired of thinking anything that makes up ME is something to be ashamed of. So as most 21st century girls would do, I’m putting this out there on Instagram. Declaring that I have cellulite, and a stomach that doesn’t always look “pleasant” (whatever the fuck that means) and I am 100%, imperfect human.

"And I’m proud as hell of my body! If you’re out there hating on yourself, stop!! Appreciate yourself. You’re body is so magical. That’s all. Have a nice day."

Sailor is the youngest daughter of 90s model Christie, and has worked for the likes of Sports Illustrated.

In 2019 she stepped in for her mom and took part in Dancing With The Stars after her mom broke her arm during rehearsals.

But she admitted she was apprehensive about stepping in after the 65-year-old, broke her arm in rehearsals.

She said: “I didn’t want to at first, honestly. I was terrified. It was a very scary thing for me.”

Christie said in a statement, joking about her injury: "Sailor joined the cast when I got mine. Ouch somebody stop me, it hurts to laugh!"
