Sadie Robertson News: 'Duck Dynasty' Star Talks About Body Image in YouTube Video
Even though Sadie Robertson is just a 17-year-old girl, the 'Duck Dynasty' star already inspire thousands of lives in her recent trending YouTube video clip talking about her own body image struggles and how ordinary she is despite being a celebrity.
"I want to tell you the reality of things: I struggle with jealousy. And I struggle with comparing myself to other people," the famous young blonde confessed while going makeup-free on her video clip posted on Youtube. "I may be this 'celebrity status' or whatever, but I'm just like every single one of you...I look in the mirror and I pick out the flaws," she added.
Apparently, being insecure about oneself is a growing issue that needs to be addressed and that several teens struggle with it and it is said to sometimes be the start of depression. "I am 5-foot-7, I weigh 122 pounds, I wear a size 26 in jeans, a small or a medium top...I wear a size 2 in a dress, and I eat all the time. I'm not toned. I don't have abs," Robertson said encouraging the youth.
The video was an instant hit and Robertson couldn't believe it since she posted the video not expecting anything big would happen. The 17-year-old fashion designer merely wants to speak her mind about the issue.
"I just got out of the shower one day and I was in my pajamas laying in my bed and I was kind of preaching to myself, like a message that I needed to hear," she told Robin Roberts in an interview in Good Morning America, "and then my little sister came home from church and watched it and she was like, 'Sadie ... you should post it.' So I posted it and next thing I know I'm on Good Morning America talking about it," she added.
The teenager continued sharing that she just focuses on God instead of comparing herself to others and being insecure. "The thing is, it's like God is my rock for me. I'm not saying that you have to live that way. I want to share my message because if it can help somebody, it's worth it," she explained adding, "That's just who I am. That's just what I believe."
