We all know that cellulite is normal and yet we still beat ourselves up for having it. But 26-year-old body positive activist Kenzie Brenna is doing everything in her power to change that. A few months ago she started #CelluliteSaturday to help remind women what real bodies versus Photoshopped bodies really look like, and it's become a social media movement. Check out some of the women who've been inspired to show the world they love their bodies, flaws and all.

She wants to inspire change.
“[I’m] offering up my #realbody, unedited, unfiltered for you to look at, for trolls to rip apart,” she captioned a side-by-side photo of her photoshopped and not photoshopped. “[It’s] important because we have literally forgotten what real bodies look like.”
We all have cellulite.
According to Scientific American, 93 percent of women have cellulite. Yes, it’s that common and it has nothing to do with how much you weigh. Here’s a look at a few beautiful women who aren’t afraid to show their cellulite on Instagram:
Cellulite has nothing to do with fitness.
“This girl goes to the gym 4-5x a week. She weightlifts, includes cardio and plyometrics, she eats a personal well balanced diet and has for the last year,” omgkenzieee captioned this photo.
Let’s stop Photoshopping.
And instead proudly show what real bodies really look like.
We can be proud of our flaws.
“There’s no shame in having squishy bits on your body, or having those same squishy bits move whenever you do. There’s no shame in embracing and loving yourself, or spreading that love to others,” selfiesforselflove captioned this photo.
We can love our cellulite.
“Slowly, I’m remembering to love my thighs. They’re always gonna touch, jiggle, and have dimples (TBH, the only gap I’ll ever have is the one between my teeth),” Contentedlyimperfect wrote. “But they more importantly help me lift, run, and dance my way into self love. And for that I’ve gotta be pretty grateful.”
No Photoshop, filter or editing here.
“Decided to be brave and raw with you guys,” wrote Leigha_lifts. “No filters, no editing, no cropping out my unmade bed/messy room. This is me.”
When we love ourselves we help others.
“I don’t put bathing suits on and flaunt my body for attention or validation. I do it for the young girls and women trying to find someone that looks like them in a sea of photo shopped bodies,” allisonkimmey captioned this photo.
Because cellulite doesn’t make you look any less beautiful.
This girl looks amazing–cellulite and all!
