Lena Dunham has always been an advocate for body positivity and loving yourself, and she took to Instagram Tuesday (July 10) to show a side-by-side of her weight journey.
The photo on the left shows Dunham “138 pounds, complimented all day and propositioned by men and on the cover of a tabloid about diets that work. Also, sick in the tissue and in the head and subsisting only on small amounts of sugar, tons of caffeine and a purse pharmacy.”
On the right, the actress is dressed in comfortable clothes, holding her dog with a big smile on her face. “162 pounds, happy joyous & free, complimented only by people that matter for reasons that matter, subsisting on a steady flow of fun/healthy snacks and apps and entrees, strong from lifting dogs and spirits,” she wrote. “Even this OG body positivity warrior sometimes looks at the left picture longingly, until I remember the impossible pain that brought me there and onto my proverbial knees.”
