Ashley Graham recently used her massive social media following to spread a body-positive message just in time for summer.

The supermodel took to Instagram, writing, "Believe me when i say your body is beautiful, and i know it's easy to tell yourself the lie that you're not good enough, thin enough, sexy enough, 'flawless' enough to wear a tank top or a swimsuit, but it's hot out there and so are you."

Graham also shared photos of different body types with hopes that the images would motivate her fans to love their skin.

The first photo slide included a photo of stretch marks with the caption "Beautiful. End of Discussion." She also included a photo of herself nude and with little to no makeup.

Graham concluded the post: "Don't let your mind stop you from enjoying your life to the fullest (and remember to say 'i love you' to yourself every day)."
