After spending years struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, suicidal thoughts and self-harm, Kate Speer decided to turn her life around.
She started to meet with a therapist who taught her how to face her fears and become the advocate for body positivity she is today.
The 29-year-old from Hanover, New Hampshire, started to share her body positive messages and videos on Instagram and has fast become a source of inspiration for those suffering with mental health issues.
Now she's starting her very own #JiggleForJoy movement after one of her videos went viral, garnering over 140,000 views. In the caption she talks about her struggle with an eating disorder and how, even now, she still finds it terrifying to share videos of her body online.
"Your midday reminder that YOU - just as you are - are fabulous! I've been struggling with my beautiful bod this week (and note, I know I have a thin-privileged beautiful bod even if I can't always feel it to be so) and beating it up in my mind and trying to suffocate it with binging.
"So, today, I'm posting this, even though it is terrifying me to do so (yep, deleted it 7 times). I'm also saying this for me (and you).
"My body is MORE than its appearance.
My body is NOT my value.
My body is simply the vessel for my god damn fabulous self [...]"
She goes on to address her eating disorder directly, adding to the caption, "So dear ED that has been plaguing me as of late, go duck yourself. Yup you. I am doing #jiggleforjoy and gosh darnit ED, you aren't going to stop me."
And she's a woman of her word. Her latest video sees her jiggling around in her bra and knickers and making us all feel more than happy with our wobbly bits.
If she doesn't make you want to strip down to your undies and do a dance to the beat of self-love then we don't know who or what will.
Go get 'em girl!
