The former Girls actress, 34, showed off her cleavage and numerous tattoos in the black two-piece for the make-up free snap, with the star admitting the pandemic had brought back 'feelings of self loathing towards her body.' She wrote: 'Oh hey, just self-isolating with my pod, aka my pot belly and my sunglasses. 'You know Ive been thinking a lot about my pot belly in quarantine- especially as I notice an unusual amount of articles with titles like how I lost the weight and diet is everything. 'Are there more of them or do I just have more time to notice? Somehow, headlines that used to roll off my flesh rolls sting in a new way- not because I think thats the body Im meant to have, but because it feels like its adding yet another item to the epic to-do list we are all creating for ourselves in Covid- you know the one: Now that I cant be in the world, maybe Ill finally... take up karate... build my own furniture... grow geraniums... But for most people pandemic life has not proven to be a break from the world or themselves. 'And so the list grows, the items remain unchecked, and the suggestion of a revamped clean eating plan in my newsfeed somehow feels like a personal assault. She said: 'Growing up chubby, fat, thicc, whatever you wanna call it- I always felt my body was a sign that read Im lazy and I have done less. 'Like if I just found the will to invest 30% more I could be okay. Over the years, as my body guided me through my career and illness and disability, I started to appreciate what it was capable of. 'But somehow, this pandemic time has brought back some of those old feelings of self-loathing and I think it all comes back to that damned to-do list, the one that started when we went into lockdown. 'Should I be revamping my fridge with veggies and showing off before/after pics, emerging from quarantine with a revenge body? And why, after all these years spent fostering self love, do I still feel like weight loss is an item for my to-do? https://i.imgur.com/NyOBACK.jpg https://i.imgur.com/NKbjHhy.jpg --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 ...
