        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sailor Brinkley-Cook is getting candid about her <strong>constant battle with body image</strong>.</p><p>The 21-year-old daughter of Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook has been struggling with what she sees in the mirror versus what&#8217;s on social media.</p><p>&#8220;I’m so f&#8211;king sick and tired of the photoshop,&#8221; she wrote on Instagram alongside a series of photos of herself in a bikini, referencing lyrics from Kendrick Lamar&#8217;s hit &#8220;Humble.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I’ve been so down on myself recently. Crying about my cellulite, letting the fat on my body ruin my day, getting mad that i’m not as skinny as i once was,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;The body dysmorphia and left over eating disorder tendencies have been coming in strong.&#8221;</p><p>Brinkley-Cook admitted her body&#8217;s changes have left her feeling like she&#8217;s lost all &#8220;control&#8221; and has forced her to compare herself to others.</p><p>&#8220;As i come into myself as a young woman my body shifts and changes by the month, the &#8216;control&#8217; i felt i once had over it has been completely stripped away from me,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Hormones, emotions, growing pains. I go on instagram and scroll through photos of girls that look &#8216;perfect&#8217;.. shiny skin with not a bump to be seen, tiny little waist and thighs that look like chopsticks. And i compare myself, as if how someone on an app on my phone looks should directly correlate to how I feel about my body?&#8221;</p><p>The model said she&#8217;s now ignoring what she sees online and instead has been focusing on what she&#8217;s grateful for — her strength and her health.</p><p>&#8220;What I’ve learned is that I run every day. I go to the gym 6 times a week. I fuel my body with beautiful food,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;I am so f&#8211;king LUCKY to have two legs and a healthy body that takes me through life.</p><p>&#8220;I’m so tired of thinking anything that makes up ME is something to be ashamed of.&#8221;</p><p>Brinkley-Cook joked then listed all of her so-called flaws, because if it&#8217;s not on Instagram it&#8217;s not real.</p><p>&#8220;So as most 21st century girls would do, I’m putting this out there on instagram,&#8221; she joked. &#8220;Declaring that I have cellulite, and a stomach that doesn’t always look &#8216;pleasant&#8217; (whatever the f&#8211;k that means) and I am 100% imperfect human. And I’m proud as hell of my body!</p><p>&#8220;If you’re out there hating on yourself, stop!! Appreciate yourself. You’re body is so magical. That’s all. Have a nice day.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
