I’m a curvy mum who wears tight bikinis… trolls say I’m ‘attention seeking’ but I won’t hide my body from my kids
A CURVY mum has promised to never hide her body when heading to soak up some sun on the beach.
Anneliese King, from the US, took to Instagram where she hit back at the haters and revealed the very empowering reason she won’t stop wearing tight swimwear.
Although her bullies assume she opts for revealing garments to get attention and even call her ”sl*tty”, the popular influencer is here on a different mission – body positivity.
In a more recent post, the rising Instagram star chatted about summer holidays, more specifically the “beach body” topic so people dread.
The stunning curly-haired mum uploaded a clip of her confident self rocking a bikini and declared she refuses to cover up in front of her children to teach them an important lesson.
Captioning the wholesome video where the mum jumped into a pool with her partner, Anneliese said: “I don’t know exactly what my kids are going to remember about our vacation, but one thing they won’t?
”Me hiding my body or talking about how I look in a bathing suit in front of them.”
Despite sometimes finding it challenging, Anneliese explained she made a conscious effort to embrace her curves during a getaway.
She elaborated: “But my boys will not be remembering what I looked like in a bathing suit.
”They will, however, be remembering if I swam or played or participated, though.
“Kids remembering a feeling. And me caring that I don’t look as thin as maybe I could (because it’s definitely not should) is only going to take away from their happy vibes.”
Since being shared on the platform, the post has taken the internet by storm, winning her over 3.3k likes and numerous comments.
One said: “You look hot. I think someone should be talking about how hot you are as often as possible, hehe.”
Another person shared: “Love this post, and I am happy you feel comfortable and good about yourself.
”And you look fabulous by the way!”
A user responded: “Kids love their mamas. Mamas are only beautiful in their eyes.
”And we make the best food, mine say.”
Meanwhile, someone else added: “Love this and you look great. Love your suit.”
