I’ve been skinny my whole life but my gym booty gains gave me cellulite – I wouldn’t trade my muscles for it to go away
A SKINNY woman whose gym booty gains gave her cellulite has said she would never trade her muscles for it to go away.
Far from hating her cellulite, she loves it and wouldn’t change a thing.
Marissa Arnone (@marissacpt) was insistent in a TikTok post that cellulite is normal, so why not love it?
The personal trainer and dietician has an enormous TikTok following of over 636,000 and an extraordinary 20.7 million likes.
Far from being shocked by the appearance of dimpled skin, she has decided to embrace it.
She said she was even prepared to show it on her platform.
“I would show you but don’t want the video taken down,” she said.
Dressed gym-ready, she addressed her cellulite to fans.
“I’ve been skinny my whole life,” she wrote, and “never had cellulite.”
But some weight gain saw some changes in her body.
“I started putting on weight and now I have cellulite on my butt,” she wrote.
And guess what? It was always there, she said.
“But because I built muscle, it pushed the fat in my butt outward making it visible.”
There was no hint of despair from this lady.
She was trouncing any notion it was something to be ashamed of.
“Usually when people talk about cellulite, they equate an increase in cellulite to a decrease in body confidence.”
Not so for Marissa.
“But that wasn’t the case with what happened to me, and I don’t think that should be the case for you either,” she declared.
“It’s normal.”
She wouldn’t change anything.
“I wouldn’t trade these muscles for less cellulite any day of the week,” she said. “It was 100% worth the booty gains.”
There was a lot of interest in her video with over 11,000 likes.
Commenters experienced similar gains.
“This is exactly what happened to me. I’ve been training for almost a year now and noticed cellulite for the first time in my life,” said a fellow gym fan.
Another said: “I don’t hate it anymore. It means I built muscle.”
Finally, her post gave comfort to this woman: “Thanks so much. I’ve always been curvy but have barely started working out for the first time in my life and my cellulite is popping. Trying to love it.”
