Kate Winslet posted a photo of herself on Facebook with no make-up on to urge women embrace themselves and battle negative body image.
Kate wrote to her page, "I know I am chubby, I have big feet, and have bad hair days. When I grew up and even now sometimes, I hardly hear any positive reinforcement about body image from any female. I mostly hear negatives. But I know most of the negatives comes from the people who are busy rejoicing other people' insults by liking demeaning post on Facebook when in reality they don't even like themselves."
Earlier this year, Kate opened up about body image and shared her thoughts about it "When I grew up, I never heard positive reinforcement about body image from any female in my life. I only heard negatives, she said while appearing in the Running Wild with Bear Grylls. That's very damaging, because then you're programmed as a young woman to immediately scrutinize yourself and how you look."
Wearing no make- up, the 'Titanic' actress showed her wrinkles to her followers with aiming to show them what's beneath her face with no concealer. Then she said "I want to embrace the real me" and she added "I want you to embrace who you are" and "love yourself just the way you are."
As she calls her fans' support to share her message, she wanted it to "reach the haters and let them know that you don't give a damn about the negatives" she also encourages women who have body shaming issues to "choose not to be a victim to those bullies who make fun of others based on appearances, race, gender, etc."
As Kate encourages women to love themselves, she also asks women not to change anything about their appearances, for she believes "people should appreciate you, the real you."
The photo was posted on Thursday and has been shared over 24,000 times and encouraged a lot of women to post to social media with no make-up on. Some comments even received personal replies from the Oscar winning actress herself, according to news.com.au
