Love comes in all shapes and forms, and there's no secret recipe to the perfect match. When it comes to relationships , everyone is looking for something different, and this is what we often forget. Perhaps that's why one woman once thought she "didn't deserve" her ripped husband simply because of how she looked.
Alicia McCarvell often talks about how she's been taunted by trolls because of her appearance. People are quick to say how "different" she is to her super-toned husband, Scott McCarvell, just because of her size. Recently she admitted her looks nearly led to her pushing Scott away, as it was something she really worried about.
Luckily, over time, she learnt to realise how much he loved her (and vice versa), and now the pair are happily married. This is why she spends so much of her time opening up about body image – to encourage people to appreciate all body types and love themselves for who they are. Nonetheless, she thinks it's important to remind people where she started.
Writing on Instagram , Alicia said: "I spent so long thinking I didn't deserve @scottymc4 love - even though everyday he showed up to love me, all of me, always. I hated myself so much that I pushed him away. I made him feel silly for loving me.
"I made myself feel worthless. It wasn't until I learned just how valuable I was that I started to see what he had always seen in me. "You are loveable, not by others, but first and foremost yourself.
