Kim K's Naked Selfies Inspire Me

Kim Kardashian is certainly no stranger to a scantily clad selfie or two.

In fact, just one look at her Instagram account and you’ll be hard pushed to find a picture of her fully clothed.

But while the reality star has a figure most women would love, she still faces constant criticism for her raunchy pics.

In the past, the 37-year-old reality star has come under fire for posting topless pictures taken by her four-year-old daughter, North. And just days after her surrogate gave birth to Kim’s third child with Kanye West, Chicago, the new mum posted a picture on social media – not of her little bundle of joy, but of herself – naked.

However, while some are quick to judge Kim’s relaxed approach to nudity, mum Lydia Smith, 38, is inspired by it...

It’s no secret that being a teenage girl is incredibly tough, so I’ll always be grateful for the confidence my mum instilled within me.

Growing up, I never heard her discuss dieting or counting calories. Instead, she encouraged me to be active and to eat healthily to fuel my body.

I was a keen swimmer, and I loved football and gymnastics. Being so active, it was easy to stay in shape, and I was more than happy with the way I looked. I loved wearing short skirts or tiny crop tops so I could show off my stomach.
