Christie Brinkley's daughters, Sailor Brinkley Cook and Alexa Ray Joel, are getting candid about dealing with body issues growing up.
Sailor, 18, and Alexa, 31, recently posed with their supermodel mama for Sports Illustrated's
famous swimsuit issue, and both reflected on how far they've come when
it comes to their self-esteem. Sailor Instagrammed a priceless photo of
the two sisters with 63-year-old Christie -- all rocking sexy swimwear
-- on Monday.
"I've had issues with my body image since before I can even remember,"
Sailor shares. "I grew up not loving how I looked and felt held back
because of it."
"For some reason I still looked in the mirror and always somehow found
something to pick on," she continues. "I went from being 'too fat' to
'too thin' to 'too muscular' and I never felt satisfied. My body and I
have been through it all."
Though recently, the beautiful blonde says she's been "liberated."
"I am healthy, I treat myself well, and for that I'm happy," she
writes. "I've looked in the mirror and been able to LOVE the things
about my body that beauty norms deem 'undesirable.' I now have grown to
know that my body is worthy of so many great things. I don't need to be a
size 0 to believe in myself. My body carries me each and every day, it
loves the people I love, it holds what makes me healthy and strong, it
bends it shakes it runs and it CHANGES. That is OK and that is
beautiful."
I've had issues with my body image since before I can even remember. I
grew up not loving how I looked and felt held back because of it. I
don't know why I always felt that way, sure I had baby fat and
definitely went through a plethora of awkward phases, but I had a family
that loved me i had friends who made me laugh etc. But for some reason I
still looked in the mirror and always somehow found something to pick
on. I went from being "too fat" to "too thin" to "too muscular" and I
never felt satisfied. My body and I have been through it all. But
recently I have been liberated. I am healthy, i treat myself well, and
for that i'm happy. I've looked in the mirror and been able to LOVE the
things about my body that beauty norms deem 'undesirable'. I now have
grown to know that my body is worthy of so many great things. I don't
need to be a size 0 to believe in myself. My body carries me each and
every day, it loves the people i love, it holds what makes me healthy
and strong, it bends it shakes it runs and it CHANGES. That is okay and
that is beautiful.
I could not be more grateful to the beautiful and strong @mj_day

young woman SI showed me all bodies are different and all bodies are
worthy of celebrating. Thank you thank you @si_swimsuit

WOMEN!! How lucky am i?! 😩😍😍 i think I'm dreaming. 😭😩😩 thank
you!!!!!!! ❤ (Also, thank you @hayleythorpeholla and @v_beast and everyone at @dogpound for changing my life 😭❤) More to come!!!!!!!!
Meanwhile, Alexa shared her own confident bikini pics, and talked about learning to accept herself.
"This was a lesson in learning to let go, take the plunge, and embrace
myself from both the inside AND out -- which is something I struggle
with each and every day," she captioned one Sports Illustrated
snap. "My purpose is to now pass along this lesson of unconditional
self-love and self-respect to every woman who's willing to listen."
~'Twas a most humbling and rewarding honor to be a part of your February issue.🌹👑🖤 Thank you @si_swimsuit & @mj_day
for making me feel so at home. This was a lesson in learning to let go,
take the plunge, and embrace myself from both the inside AND out- which
is something I struggle with each and every day. My purpose is to now
pass along this lesson of unconditional self-love and self-respect to
every woman who's willing to listen. Once again, from the bottom of my
heart... Thank You.~
She also posted a sexy selfie with a positive message for all women.
"Let's STOP degrading and START celebrating ourselves and others, from
both the inside AND out," she writes. "There's far too much
degradation, competition, insecurity, and unhealthy standards associated
with women and their bodies -- particularly on social-media. ... I
don't have a completely flat tummy, or cellulite-free thighs... nor am I
a model's height or shape. Neither are hundreds of millions of other
beautiful women out there. SO WHAT? Does it really matter, in the end?
All that matters is how YOU feel about yourself."
"Set your own standards of beauty; both internally and externally,"
she adds. "All of those unrealistic-looking, photoshopped images are
nothing more than white noise, playing off of your own insecurities in
order to make a buck. Don't let them affect you. DO YOU! We are all
perfect, just as we are."
Let's STOP degrading and START celebrating ourselves and others, from both the inside AND out. 👑🕊🦋There's far too much degradation, competition, insecurity, and unhealthy standards associated with women and their bodies- particularly on social-media. As a conscious society, it's up to us to flip this negativity on its head. I don't have a completely flat tummy, or cellulite-free thighs... nor am I a model's height or shape. Neither are hundreds of millions of other beautiful women out there. SO WHAT? Does it really matter, in the end? All that matters is how YOU feel about yourself. Set your own standards of beauty; both internally and externally. All of those unrealistic-looking, photoshopped images are nothing more than white noise, playing off of your own insecurities in order to make a buck. Don't let them affect you. DO YOU! We are all perfect, just as we are. Please know that. Thank you @si_swimsuit for showcasing all heights, shapes, and sizes. For within our distinctions, our quirks, and our self-perceived 'flaws'... therein lies the beauty. {Capture Credit: @si_swimsuit #BehindTheScenes Thank you for the honor of shooting me with my Precious & Golden Sunshines: Mamacita & Sailorina.}
Last August, Sailor spoke out against online bullying, specifically, those comparing her to her legendary mom.
"Believe it or not, I am my own person with my own beliefs and own
thoughts and my own face!" she hit back on Instagram. "Eyes smile teeth
forehead! All mine! The whole shabang! Yes, I am so fortunate that my
mother is my mother.. And she will always be an inspiration to me... But
being constantly compared to her 50+ years of success at only 18 years
old? And being told I could never amount to what she was and what she
looks like? Doesn't feel great."
