Stefanie Giesinger had to struggle with self-doubt for a long time. The model is now open about taboo subjects like cellulite.
Orange peel on the thighs – a topic that almost every woman has to deal with. Models like Stefanie Giesinger also struggle with cellulite. The 23-year-old does not want to be intimidated by this, as she recently explained in her Instagram story.
"I had to remember wearing the damn shorts today because nobody should take care of it except me. And I shouldn't take care of it either. It's just part of my body," Giesinger begins her contribution. She remembers an incident she experienced shortly after winning "Germany's next top model" at the age of 17.
"Wear the damn shorts!"
At the time, a man called after her on the beach: "But you didn't see cellulite on TV." That made her very unsettled. Afterwards, the model persuaded herself that she could no longer wear shorts. "Then I tried to lose weight and do more exercise."
It took 23 years for her to understand that even healthy eating and exercise do not make cellulite go away. Today she accepts her flaws. Giesinger's final message: "Wear the damn shorts!"
