Selena Gomez reflects on her bodys changes in throwback swimsuit photos: I will never look

Selena Gomez has opened up about her appearance while candidly reflecting on her body’s changes throughout the years.

Taking to her Instagram Story Monday night, the actress/singer showed her body in two images years apart.

“Today I realized I will never look like this again…” she wrote alongside a pic of her in a zebra bikini from 2013, when she was 21.

The now-31-year-old went on to share a photo from her getaway to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, last year.

The pic showed the “Only Murders in the Building” actress wearing a high-waisted bikini bottom with a white bikini top.

“I’m not perfect, but I am proud to be who I am… Sometimes I forget it’s ok to be me,” she captioned the second image.

In October, Gomez opened up about being on the receiving end of scrutinizing body-shaming after undergoing surgery following her lupus diagnosis.

Gomez, who was 24 when she was diagnosed, recalled feeling that she no longer “had a teenager’s body” during a magazine fitting — which ultimately left her self-conscious.

“None of the sample sizes were fitting, and that would make me feel embarrassed,” she said in an interview with Fast Company. “Although how unrealistic is it to expect a normal woman’s body not to change?”

Following her diagnosis, the “Single Soon” songstress subsequently underwent a kidney transplant and chemotherapy.

A few months later, Gomez was papped in a bikini during a getaway to Australia, where pap shots showed her surgery scars to the world.

To make matters worse, the former Disney Channel star was living out a heartbreak publicly following her split from singer Justin Bieber at the time.

“Then there were those moments of not feeling positive about how I looked because of what I’d see on Instagram. ‘Wow, I wish my body looked like that,’” she added.

Things took a turn for the worse in 2018 when the “Lose You To Love Me” hitmaker went into a psychosis and checked into a treatment center, where she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

“I went through a really hard season,” she recalled, in part. “It was my highs and my lows, and I didn’t know what to do, so I couldn’t control it. I would want to cancel things. It was just a tormented feeling.”
