The Jessica Torres that you see today took a while to build. The now bad ass body positive plus-size fashion blogger was once very insecure and would make sure her body was always hidden. It took years to for her to love herself this hard and now she's determined to encourage other women to be a better version of themselves. Torres says the key is learning to love yourself right now, whether you do or do not want to lose weight. The 20-something also talks about how she deals with trolls, what her alone time looks like, and how she stays centered to avoid burning out as a content creator. Because even with all the likes on Instagram she gets, she says to never "judge yourself through the eyes of a stranger."
