The stunning 27-year-old has around 400,000 fans on her platform, where she regularly shares uplifting messages.
But while the Fashion Nova Curve ambassador may now glow with confidence, that wasn’t always the case, as she recently bravely opened up about her past self-esteem struggles.
In a most recent snapthe plus-size fashionista confidently showed off her plump tummy in a gray bra and nude underwear.
However, despite her glamorous appearance with wavy brown hair and red carpet-ready makeup, Olivia admitted she wasn’t that confident growing up.
The model, who has 44H breasts, spent several years hiding her body because she didn’t love her appearance.
To illustrate her journey, Olivia wrote an open letter to Stomach, expressing regret for despising him for so long.
“Dear belly, I’m so sorry for hating you,” she began the touching post.
”For a long time I wished you didn’t exist and dreamed of having a flatter version of you.
”I wore clothes that hid you from the world, thinking I was protecting you from the judgment of others.
“Now I realize that it was my shame of you that kept it hidden.
”But I learned that you didn’t deserve to be an insecurity.
”You have positively shaped my identity as a confident plus-size woman.”
She continued, “Learning to love you has changed my life for the better.”
Olivia also acknowledged that trolls may suggest she lose weight to be considered “pretty,” but she no longer cares what others have to say.
