This Morning host Josie Gibson has opened up on the topic of her dress size – and she’s made a pretty refreshing confession that I think we all need to read.
The 38-year-old presenter said that her dress size has fluctuated dramatically from a size 6 to a size 20 over the years, but she’s stated that it no longer bothers her.
How refreshing! As someone who’s struggled with their weight over the years I can only think we need more celebs to come out and embrace who they are – warts and all!
This Morning host Josie Gibson makes honest weight confession
“I used to worry about my size and weight, but I don’t any more,” Josie recently told Closer.
Josie, who has a four-year-old son, Reggie-James, said that becoming a mother had played a major part in changing her perspective and allowing her to become comfortable with weight gain.
I think my body is just amazing.
“I got body confident after I had Reg because I displayed this brand-new respect for my body,” she explained. “You appreciate your body in a different way after giving birth. It is what it is. I’m just thankful for things that it’s given me and when I look at myself, I think my body is just amazing.”
In the past, Josie has published dieting books and even released a fitness DVD back in the day. However, she shared that nowadays, she has a far more relaxed approach to life.
“When you know you’ve been good, then you can have your treats. I don’t deny myself anything any more. But I do try to get in the gym a bit more – I just enjoy life.”
‘Enjoying’ a new romance
And it certainly seems as if she’s enjoying life right now – with a mystery new man!
Fans were thrilled as she revealed on Shopping With Keith Lemon earlier this week that there is someone else special in her life. “There is someone in my life at the moment but it’s early stages,” she teased.
As the old saying goes, you have to love yourself before you can love anyone else. And, for Josie, the proof is almost certainly in the pudding.
Her body confidence should be celebrated. She’s gorgeous whether she’s a size 6 or a size 20. And I’m sure that many of us – me included – could take a leaf out of her book.
Josie Gibson, you’re our spirit animal!
