Captioning the short video, Melissa also wrote a lengthy heart-felt message.
She started off by saying: “I talked recently on my stories about not being afraid to size up clothes, and that if that triggers you, just cutting out the label can do you a world of good- and it got me thinking about all the numbers we use to define ourselves.
“Numbers on a scale. Number of £££ in your bank account. Number of calories in a day. Number of sexual partners. Number of A’s when you leave school. Number of stretch marks left behind from growing your babies.”

She continued: “Number of times you’ve wanted to be bold, but couldn’t. Number of relationships that didn’t work out. Number of people who have made you feel less than. Number of times you’ve snapped at your kids. Number of years it took to find your passion.
“And of course, the number on the label of your jeans.”
The star went on to add that we can’t be defined by the numbers that are attached to us.

“Because, in the infinite and unique beauty, chaos, and experiences that are woven into all those layers that make up you? Pure magic.”
