The singer who, many say, has tops the table on the topic of self-love, has firmly put her foot down. With an Instagram post on body positivity, following a weight gain of 24 pounds on the tour circuit, Tamar was able to expand her message that instead of judging themselves, people should celebrate their bodies and encourage others to do the same.

In the caption, she revealed that she is starting a new chapter in her life with her son Logan in order to make healthier steps together. “I love myself too much to complain about something I can change. I’m GREEDY. And my knees hurt 😫,” she said. This candid confession was followed by an encouragement shared with eagerness: “Today is YOUR DAY to show up for yourself in the way that’s going to make you feel like your BEST SELF!!!”

Braxton gave the very dramatic contrast to that caption as she exuded an undeniable confidence walking through probably a backstage area, looking beautiful in an elegant black bodysuit with her hair being blown back with each step she took. There’s a dim light ambience that exists, and one can see equipment on which sits quietly yet in full recognition of her autonomy over her space, her body, and her journey.

Afterwards, her fans flooded the comment section with love. Many said that Braxton looked good with the extra weight: “That 24 lbs went in all the right areas 😍😍,” wrote one user. Another commented, “The most delicious 24 pounds I’ve ever seen 😂😋😍,” and the majority opinion was that Braxton doesn’t need to change a thing.

Only a few decided to keep away from the compliments. One woke up fan joked about Braxton tagging her son in the post: “Tagging your son in a video of your cheeks is crazy 😂.” The comment set off a chain reaction of laughing emojis and expressions of disbelief, as an army joined in on how awkward the whole thing was. Meanwhile, somebody else went against the grain with, “She’s just open with him.”

A handful of people were serious, telling her to stop stressing over the pounds. “We go through this with you every other month ma’am,” said one fan. “Take it one day at a time. You look great. Don’t beat yourself every time you gain weight.”

Others just admired the girl’s confidence, one fan said, “Giiirrrrlll, that’s one of them 90s booty mix, players club bootys!! We don’t see em like that no more. 😍😍😍🔥.”

However, this post signified so much more than just a showing of one’s body; it was a shout out to anyone who has ever had a problem with self-acceptance. Starting over is okay, putting yourself first, and just enjoying the journey wherever you may be. And from the comments, it is safe to say that Braxton’s message hit right home.

Braxton, whether flaunting her curves or talking about struggles, is undeniable proof that self-love is learning that you don’t do it chasing after perfection- you do it by showing up for yourself as you really are. From all indications in the feedback, Braxton’s fans are up for every journey.
