1. @iskra: Iskra Lawrence is all about boosting body positivity, playing a huge role in Aerie's #thisgirlhasnotbeenretouched campaign and working as a brand ambassador for the National Eating Disorder Association. Iskra's feed will surely make you smile as she preaches self love and savagely exploits body shamers.

 

2. @theashleygrahamModel Ashley Graham uses her Instagram to promote body positivity with uplifting posts. Ashley's book, A New Model, discusses "what confidence, beauty, and power really look like" and shares her wisdom with her followers. Talk about Insta inspo!

 

3. @daniebb3Danielle Brooks not only kills the acting game but also the self love game. Preaching to "love every pound," Danielle posts about exercise and how the results you feel emotionally are more important than those you see physically.

 

4. @ddlovatoStruggling with an eating disorder in the past, Demi Lovato has made a full recovery and uses her Instagram to help others heal with her.
