Selena Gomez<\/strong><\/a> has no interest in comparing her current body to her past self.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, I realized I will never look like this again,\u201d Gomez, 31, captioned a bikini photo from 2013 via her Instagram Story on Monday, January 22. In the pic, Gomez enjoyed a day by the water in a zebra-print bikini with gold chain accents, which she paired with black sunglasses.<\/p>\n

She followed up the first Instagram Story photo with a more recent swimsuit snap, seemingly taken during her January 2023 New Year\u2019s trip<\/a> to Mexico with Brooklyn<\/strong> and Nicola Peltz Beckham<\/strong>. \u201cI\u2019m not perfect but I am proud to be who I am \u2026 sometimes I forget it\u2019s OK to be me,\u201d she wrote alongside the second pic, which featured her climbing up the side of a boat in a white bikini top and black bikini bottoms.<\/p>\n

Gomez has become a champion for body positivity over the years with her candid quotes about health and wellness. In 2019, she revealed that her health can cause her weight to fluctuate<\/a>. \u201cI have lupus and deal with kidney issues and high blood pressure, so I deal with a lot of health issues and for me, that\u2019s when I really started noticing more of the body image stuff,\u201d Gomez said during an appearance on the \u201cGiving Back Generation\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSince rising to stardom, Selena Gomez has candidly discussed her journey with self-love and body positivity. \u201cBeing in the public eye from such an early age certainly comes with a lot of pressure. It\u2019s hard to feel comfortable when you feel like everyone is watching, judging and commenting on the way you look,\u201d she told [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Gomez was diagnosed with lupus in 2014 and underwent a kidney transplant<\/a>, with longtime friend Francia Ra\u00edsa<\/strong> as her donor, three years later. In a February 2023 TikTok Live, the Only Murders in the Building<\/em><\/a> star explained that her lupus medication causes her to \u201chold a lot of water weight<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cAnd then when I\u2019m off of [my medication], I tend to lose weight. I just wanted to say and encourage anyone out there who feels any sort of shame for exactly what they\u2019re going for and nobody knows the real story \u2014 I just want people to know that you\u2019re beautiful and you\u2019re wonderful and, yeah, maybe we have days where we feel like s\u2013t but I would much rather be healthy and take care of myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite her self-encouragement, Gomez has admitted to sometimes letting negative social media comments<\/a> get to her. \u201cI lied. I would go online and I would post a picture of myself and say [the negative comments] don\u2019t matter, I\u2019m not accepting what you\u2019re saying \u2014 all the while being in the room posting that, crying my eyes out, because nobody deserves to hear those things,\u201d she said during a March 2023 episode of Apple TV+\u2019s Dear \u2026<\/em> docuseries.<\/p>\n
