Suzanne Shaw in Bathing Suit Asks "What is Perfect?"

Suzanne Shaw is flaunting her “flaws” in her swimsuit. The British actress looks beautiful in a bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts, sharing a message of self-love. My perfect, your perfect, their perfect! What is perfect? How I see myself has played a big part on my mental health, trying to chase the figure and the image I ‘should’ have for the line of work I chose. It’s taken up A LOT of my thinking and to be frank I’m quite embarrassed about that! What a waste of time and energy!!!!” she wrote in the Instagram caption. “BUT PLEASE I am begging the massively influential celebrities and platforms to drop the smoke and mirrors and embrace it all!!! It’s so damaging to so many who are trying to chase the impossible! Including myself for so long. And what for? Because good looks sell? We are more popular because of how we look? Because it means success? Why? Social conditioning is causing great stress and overwhelm, particularly on the younger generation.” She then went on to make a confession: “I have cellulite!” While she has tried her “absolute hardest to get rid and hide it over the years, even thinking if I could find a magic potion to get rid of it I could potentially be the richest person on the planet,” she has learned to embrace it. “Cellulite is a medical term for the fatty layers under the skin, particularly as women some fat is important for us to have and to completely strip ourselves of that fat is unhealthy. Babies also have cellulite, again they need that fat too but how did the perception get changed from natural and cute to ugly and disgusting and should be hidden!! Oh yes, that’s right… magazines, marketing, media, money!!! I am a huge advocate for health, physically and mentally in equal measure and that means, moving my body to keep myself strong, eating well to protect myself from illness and protecting my mind from a world that has conditioned me to think in an unhealthy way. Be you, love you and embrace you.” How does she stay so fit?

1. She Struggled with Her Weight for Years

Suzanne has been open about her weight struggles. “At the beginning of 2020 I wanted to change my lifestyle but not like I’d done in the past... starting a new regime for it to last 8 weeks max and then fall off the health wagon and then try a new type of diet or fitness regime and a few months later, fail again and turn to the blame game! I wanted to TRULY change it and not let myself down for the 20th year in a row! This time I had to look at it all differently, take a long hard look at myself in the mirror and if I’m going to be completely honest, when I did, I burst into tears realising that I’d become desperately unhappy behind the smile I’d use to cover up the pain,” she wrote in a lengthy social media post. “I’ve never been massively overweight but I had piled on the pounds and got to the biggest I’d been without being pregnant, and it was all down to eating and drinking (alcohol) my emotions. I’d found myself stuck in my past being angry with the world and in major fear of my future - I was completely unrecognisable to myself.”

2. She Runs

Her fitness journey, which she calls The Shaw Happy Plan, started with running. “I used to only work out to get fit for jobs or if I’d overindulged, but the pandemic took away my day job and my baseline of fitness. Initially, I started running for my mental health but it’s a consistent part of my lifestyle now,” she told Women’s Fitness.

3. She Quit Drinking

Another thing Suzanne did was put down the bottle. “It’s been a journey, but a wonderful one. I’ve been sober for almost two years and it’s changed my life,” she told Women Fitness. “I was never an alcoholic, but the self-sabotage and dark thoughts were getting too much. And I genuinely worried that if I carried on in that way, there could be a time when I did something to myself. I realised I was the only person responsible for my happiness.”

4. She Follows a Plant-Based Diet

Suzanne also switched to a plant-based diet. “Drinking often led me to unhealthy eating, and I also had digestion issues with animal products. Shortly before going sober, I followed a plant-based diet for two weeks, felt amazing and never looked back,” she told Women Fitness. “Being sober also created much more space in my life to think about what I was putting in my body, and I even did a nutrition course which really opened my eyes. It’s not until I started food journalling and really educating myself that I realised how unhealthy the world we live in is.”

5. She Practices Mindfulness and Meditation

Finally, Suzanne keeps her head in check. “If I was going to do it this time, I had to do it for very different reasons and that reason wasn’t going to be about getting into a size 8 dress, it was to be HAPPY again,” she wrote in her Instagram post.

1. She Has Learned to Love Herself

“HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY ✨ Today is a day where we can celebrate us. I have so many women in my life who inspire me every day and I wanted to give a little something today that can hopefully inspire one of you. Loving our imperfections can be difficult, but when you learn to embrace them and realise that our imperfections don’t define us, they are just a part of us alongside everything else that creates you as a person. None of us are the same, and that’s a special thing. We are one of a kind 🤍 This picture shows me at my most vulnerable… but I’m learning to love myself, imperfections and all. And so should you,” she wrote once.

2. She Was Once “Unhealthily Skinny”

"I went from a size 10 to a six, and it’s the smallest I’ve ever been as a young adult. Because of my height, this made me look unhealthily skinny, of which I was (not eating barely anything, feeling ill all the time, tired, dizzy) and I remember looking at myself, I’d lost my boobs and my bum and those curves I once had and I missed them,” she wrote on Instagram. "The point of this [is], since coming out of Love Island, I found my love for food again and yes I’m getting back to my usual size."

3. She Likes a Nice Bath

“Drowning my sorrows in the bath because my Met Gala invite got lost 💔…,” she captioned one recent photo. Consider adding Epsom salt. “Pour about 300 grams (1.25 cups) of Epsom salt into a clean bathtub as it fills with hot water. (Avoid using Epsom salt in a tub with jets, a hot tub or a whirlpool bath unless the manufacturer says it’s OK.),” says the Cleveland Clinic.

Her icon? "Meghan Markle, her skin is absolutely flawless – her make-up always looks lovely as her make-up always looks lovely and natural."

5. She Has Had Acne

“I suffered from acne about a year and a half ago and then I started to work with a skin aesthetician, who helped me to find my skincare routine and helped me to start dealing with the breakouts. Now that my acne has gone, we are on more of a journey to find the right products; doing treatments like microneedling once a month to deal with the scarring. I am so happy with the outcome because the difference from what it was to now is just incredible. I genuinely used to think there was never going to be a time when I could get rid of the acne and I think when you are suffering you think it’s going to be with you forever. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t an overnight process – it took me a year and a half to be acne free, but through a good skincare routine and using the right products it can be combated. My skin aesthetician advised me that the products you use to treat acne don’t start working for 4-6 months, so it took six months before I started to see a difference. The secret to good skin is also about good lifestyle, it’s all about looking after the inside to make your skin glow,” she told Hello.

5. She Wants To Break Beauty Standards

At the beginning of last year, Fuller submitted herself as a rookie for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. Fuller explained her reasons why in the caption of this Instagram post. “It’s been a dream of mine to enter into @si_swimsuit search, but had always made excuses as to why I wasn’t good enough,” she writes. “But I am enough, and thank you SI for helping me get to this place of acceptance within myself. So here goes nothing…Growing up, it was just me and mom until my step dad adopted me at a young age. I am a melting pot of Japanese white and black and everyone in my family is all blonde hair and blue eyed so I always felt different. My idea of beauty was not me. It was what was in my immediate vicinity. I never truly felt beautiful. I remember seeing women in Sports Illustrated as I got older and they were all so beautiful and unique in their own ways. Being beautiful and sexy can be any color and any size. And it’s not just an outward appearance these women represent strength, acceptance, and even more so changed the way I viewed beauty. I relate to the women in this magazine in a BIG way and they will never know the acceptance I felt by just knowing there’s others out there just like me!”
