I know this sounds dramatic but this interview completely changed my life. Being able to talk so openly about my body issues and feeling so safe whilst doing it was truly liberating. I am so thankful to Jameela and her team for this opportunity and being so respectful and kind to me. It took a lot for me to do this and I was so nervous, so please be kind haha. I really hope this can make someone else who feels like me, a little less lonely and a little less alien xx<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;\">A post shared by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/samsmith\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_medium=loading\" style=\" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Sam Smith<\/a> (@samsmith) on <time style=\" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;\" datetime=\"2019-03-15T07:59:20+00:00\">Mar 15, 2019 at 12:59am PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n\n<em><strong>If you or someone you know is affected by eating disorders, help is available. <a href=\"https:\/\/thebutterflyfoundation.org.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Butterfly Foundation<\/a> 1800 33 4673<\/strong><\/em>\n\n<em>Image: Instagram<\/em>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>\u201cI had liposuction, I was 12 years old.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":1834,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[418,209],"tags":[],"geo_market":[],"class_list":["post-1833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity","category-entertainment"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
