A BODY-POSITIVE influencer has revealed she loves every inch of her body – from stretch marks to fat – and hopes to empower other women to do the same.<\/p>\n
Poppy Adams, who lives in Edinburgh, regularly shares her\u00a0plus-sized shopping hauls\u00a0and styling tips on Instagram\u00a0(@poppyadams).<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
She aims to inspire her 142,000 followers to "love and accept their bodies".<\/p>\n
And she's hit out at the constant conditioning women face to hate so-called imperfections. <\/p>\n
In a recent Instagram post, she said: "There is beauty in every single body. <\/p>\n
"Chances are you just find it hard to see it in your own.<\/p>\n
"There\u2019s beauty in (not in spite of); fat, flabby bits, marks, scars, spots, psoriasis, double chins, redness, bruises etc.<\/p>\n
"It\u2019s just that we\u2019ve been conditioned to hate them.<\/p>\n
"Speak to your body as if it\u2019s someone you love, kindness is key baby."<\/p>\n
Poppy posted bare-faced pictures in a pair of satin short pyjamas to show her psoriasis scars on her legs.<\/p>\n
