Vicky Pattison praised by fans as she shows off weight gain in black underwear
VICKY Pattison was today praised by fans after she showed off her weight gain in her black underwear.
The popular TV star, 35, took to Instagram to say she had put on ten pounds during her recent trip to Jamaica.
The Geordie Shore favourite recently splashed out on a gorgeous trip away with her beau Ercan, staying at the £1,200 a night Sandals Montego Bay hotel.
While Vicky was away she enjoyed sumptuous cocktails and yummy food.
Today she revealed she had gained some weight – despite still looking tiny in her black underwear.
But Vicky used the opportunity to encourage people not to worry about an extra few pounds around the waistline – and instead embrace it.
Writing next to her underwear shots, she wrote: “Monday Morning Reality… I’ve really struggled to get back in the swing of things since Jamaica- I think I’m still living island life
“And last night I really started beating myself up. The Sunday night scaries hit me like a tonne of bricks and honestly my inner critic was just on one! I won’t go in to detail- as he’s a toxic little turd- but I’m sure you guys can imagine the type of thoughts that were swirling round my head as I tried to sleep because I know we’ve all been there (btw, despite being a woman my inner critic is 110% a man..
“But today I’ve woken up determined to change my mindset..
“This extra 5-10 pounds that I’m being so cruel to myself about is where my body naturally wants to be.
“And even more than that… it is my life! Beautiful things and stuff that makes me happy that I’m not willing to give up anymore!
“That extra bit of squish is my fun meals with friends, my gorgeous holidays with Ercan, my staycations with my fluffy princes!
“It is the glass of wine you wanted all day, the bowl of pasta in a restaurant you’ve been dying to try, the Big Mac when you’re hungover!!
“Those 5-10 pounds are most likely your favourite memories, unforgettable trips and your celebrations of life!!
“And quite frankly, I love those moments far more than I ever will being a specific clothes size or a number on a scale!
“So next time you’re staring in the mirror and pulling yourself apart or your bastard inner critic is being a complete prick remind yourself that those extra 5-10 pounds are your spontaneity, your food freedom and your love for life.. and you deserve those things!
“And you look pretty damn good just as you are.”
Fans immediately praised Vicky for her honesty, with one saying: “So honest and open, keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you for being you.”
While another commented: “I think you look absolutely beautiful. Fit, healthy and happy.”
This fan said: “You have no idea how much I needed to see this post today.”
Vicky kept fans up-to0date with her luxury trip to Jamaica.
The star was seen perched on a swing while dipping her toes in the crystal waters, wowing in a red bikini.
Vicky was also praised for her natural beauty in the unfiltered snap.
She captioned it: “Already 2 cocktails deep, (it’s only 11am here) about to go and get some jerk chicken and @ercan_ram and I have actually had a conversation rather than just asking each other if we’ve emptied the dishwasher or walked the dogs…”
In another update, the reality star donned leopard print swimwear and posed with the turquoise water as her backdrop.
The couple made sure to tuck into some delicious dishes while away too – from a sizeable pizza to towering room service nachos.
