As I delve into Ashley’s life journey, I am struck by her transformation and empowerment. It’s heartwarming to see how she has evolved from feeling insecure about herself in 2015 to embracing her worth and beauty wholeheartedly today. Her experiences mirror the struggles many of us face when it comes to self-love and body image.

Ashley James displayed her self-assured physique openly in a casual bikini photo during her family’s vacation in Mexico over the weekend.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I recently found myself jetting off at the last minute for an unforgettable Christmas adventure with my beloved partner, Tommy Andrews, and our precious little ones, Ada (age one) and Alfie (age three). Our destination? None other than the United States, to spend the holidays with my dear sister who resides there.

On Instagram, the stunning individual shared a series of pictures, capturing moments from their winter vacation with loved ones, where they soaked up some sunlight, and even their child had a special visit from Santa.

Ashley donned a vibrant red two-piece swimsuit, lounging by the poolside. She shared this moment with her followers, expressing that she aimed to highlight her entire figure as a response against harmful diet culture messages.

In a spontaneous photograph, the striking woman highlighted her shapely figure and generous neckline, expressing that she had never felt more self-assured than at that moment.

She titled the post: “Snapshots of the past couple of days in Mexico.” It was truly unique to spend Christmas with my sister and her family under the sunshine. Regrettably, it’s been a year since we last saw them because they’re now residing in the United States.

Over these first few days, I’ve found myself unwinding at a resort in Playa del Carmen – an idyllic haven for settling into our vacation. My children were drained when we arrived, with my youngest, Alf, still under the weather. However, since our arrival, Alf has been rash-free, and both kids seem to be regaining their strength after soaking up a few days of sunshine.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed celebrating Christmas under the sun! Unfortunately, it’s expected to rain over the coming days, which is somewhat disappointing since we’re heading to an island where our activities are limited mostly to the beach. However, we’ll still be spending quality time together!

I’ll share my thoughts: “Mexico holds a unique spot in my heart as it was during my solo travel here that I embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery. Traveling alone allowed me to step out of my comfort zone, acquire novel skills, and develop new hobbies.

‘It was really what made me start loving being single and enjoying the freedom that chapter brought. It’s so nice to be back, even on a totally different type of holiday. It’s interesting to think how much has changed from 2018 to now. And it’s been SO nice to hang with the kids after such a busy couple of months’.

Ashley added: ‘I chose to display my self-assured physique in the initial photo as well, because I’m aware that the societal pressure from diet culture is always ready to make you believe that you must be incredibly tiny to feel confident or valuable. However, this belief is unfounded. In fact, I’ve never felt more body-confident than I do now.’

Setting sail on the vessel amidst the rain, an exciting venture indeed with four little ones under the age of four! If there’s anything you wish to inquire about or need clarification on, feel free to ask. Wishing you all a abundance of affection.

Previously this year, Ashley shared a captivating vintage bikini picture, yet expressed regret as she had felt quite self-conscious about her physique during that period.

The speaker shared an old photo from 2015 on her Instagram Story, addressing her over 400,000 followers with a message.

In the vacation snapshot, the model exuded an undeniable beauty, donning a petite, vibrant baby blue bandeau swimsuit, elegantly displaying her silhouette as she posed with her back towards the ocean.

Ashley accentuated her well-defined waistline with a navel ring and showcased her full bust in a deep-necked top, pulling her hair away from her face.

In a post to her followers, she shared: ‘I stumbled upon this picture from 2015 and it brings me sadness because at that time, I struggled with insecurity – regarding my body, face, and worth. I often felt unworthy and thought I wasn’t good enough, which negatively impacted my love life.’

I regret that I can’t go back and reassure this girl that she was flawless, complete, stunning, and above all, worthy and sufficient in herself.

It’s unfortunate that we often learn to criticize ourselves, but let’s remember that our worth isn’t determined by our appearance or personal flaws. Instead, it’s more about the societal norms that make us feel inadequate and imperfect.

Recently, the celebrity from This Morning has been posting a string of inspiring photographs. Last month, she also uploaded a video showing her looking absolutely radiant in a vibrant red lingerie ensemble.

In a casual setting, she lounged on a mattress wearing just her undergarments and encouraged her followers to appreciate their bodies. She revealed that she’s learned to cherish her stomach rolls, likening them to the rounded bellies often seen in depictions of the Greek goddess Aphrodite.
