Vicky Pattison has been praised for sharing a candid snap of her figure, after admitting she 'drank like a sailor and ate like a caveman' over the festive season.
The Geordie Shore star, 37, shared a snap of her figure clad in nude lingerie as she reminded her followers that it was 'perfectly normal' for her body to look 'a bit different' after indulging over the festive season.
Vicky penned the caption: 'This is not a ''before'' picture.. in a couple of weeks there'll be no bright shiny ''after'' picture that I proudly show off.
'This is just my body after a really nice Christmas- and I'd hazard a guess that most bodies look a little bit different after the festive season. And that is ok, in fact it's perfectly normal.
'We spend all year rushing round, working hard, trying to eat well & do everything that we're meant to be doing... we deserve a little bit of time at Christmas to just let our hair down!
'Eat chocolate for breakfast, enjoy a baileys, wallop our body weight in pigs in blankets..

The Geordie Shore star reminded her followers that it was 'perfectly normal' for her body to look 'a bit different' after indulging over the festive season (pictured last month)
'And naturally after that, our bodies will look a bit different. But don't allow that to change how you see yourself.
'It is perfectly natural for bodies to change & fluctuate and we shouldn't punish ourselves for enjoying our Christmas holidays!
'That time spent doing very little, snuggled on the sofa with your dogs, relaxing with your family, eating selection boxes with your kids... it's special and you shouldn't feel any guilt for that.'
Vicky went onto remind her fans that they shouldn't compare themselves to others on social media.
She continued: 'I've no doubt social media will be awash with everyone's resolutions & promises of lifestyle overhauls, pictures of half naked perfect bods and everything else that might make you feel a certain type of way about yourself & your Christmas squish but please, drone out the noise & be kind to yourself.
'I intend to move my body abit more in January, drink abit less & make some more ethical decisions regarding my diet (none of this should be hard btw considering over the last week I've drank like a sailor, ate like a caveman and only rolled off the sofa when I needed more cheese!)
'But ultimately, I'm going to recognise that January is a long old month, traditionally quite a miserable one & me beating myself up over being a bit squishy isn't going to make it any better!
'You don't have to have everything figured out this week & be back in your jeans feeling a million dollars- we've got 365 chances to make our lives what we want them to be & time to get ourselves back to feeling our best..

'Make sure you're enjoying your journey, being kind to yourself & most of all just working towards being happy & healthy.. & that looks different on everyone.'
Vicky's post received a sea of praise from her fans in the comments, with posts including: 'Absolutely love this post. People dwell too much on themselves afyer Xmas, well all year round based on what other people have to say.
'But life is what you make it and if you are happy and the people who are most important to u are happy then who cares about others. Xx;'
'This is what we needed to see today lol �� as we are all human. Memories are forever a few extra pound is not;'
'You are beautiful. You do you! Thank you for these words I needed to read them ❤️ lots of love xx;'
'I love this, I’m sure someone has swapped my wardrobe for all smaller sizes; But we enjoyed Christmas and now I’m ready to be a little more healthy. Love you;'
It comes after Vicky hit back at 'ignorant' trolls who accuse her of faking her health woes amid her 'heartbreaking' battle with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
Vicky has suffered with PMDD for years and often speaks about the severe symptoms it causes including depression and anxiety.
Sharing a post she added photos of herself in tears and with a swollen stomach as she said the condition makes her feel 'worthless'.
The NHS states that symptoms of PMDD are similar to PMS (premenstrual syndrome), but are much more intense and can have a much greater negative impact on your everyday life.
Symptoms can include headaches and joint and muscle pain, overeating and problems sleeping, feeling very anxious, angry, depressed or suicidal.
Vicky wrote in her lengthy post: 'I've debated posting this for awhile, as quite frankly it's a little bit dark.
'I know everyone is probably in a Christmassy place & just wants to be thinking about mulled wine & pigs in blankets but after the reaction to the WEC's report last week I thought I'd share & honest insight into what people suffering with PMDD go through.
'Because if I have to read one more ignorant comment from some sad keyboard warrior saying 'here we go, another celeb inventing a condition to stay relevant' or 'we all get a period every month, just get on with it'- I think I'll scream.
'I'm not new to this industry & I've had my fair share of criticism over the years. I'd like to think I've developed a thick skin when it comes to trolling.
'However what annoys me most about these pathetic comments is the message it sends. That women who talk openly & honestly about their pain are fantasists, dramatic or just after attention.'
She added: 'Grow up. It's 2024 & women have too much going on in their lives- impressive jobs, busy social calendars, children, partners, pets, passions & everything in between to have time to PRETEND to be struggling.
'Furthermore, from experience I know the level of pain & desperation most women have to be experiencing to speak up.

'Because we've been conditioned for years to believe we just need to 'suck it up' and 'get on with it.'
'So when a woman does come forward to share her experiences- understand that it's probably taken them a lot to get there. ALOT.
'And the last thing they need when they're already feeling vulnerable & fragile is some uneducated mouth piece minimizing their pain.
'These comments speak volumes about people's attitudes towards female reproductive health and women's pain in general. And I'm over this outdated and misogynistic rhetoric.
'PMDD, endometriosis, adenomyosis, PCOS and everything in between are heartbreaking & debilitating conditions that are driving women to despair and early & often unnecessary hysterectomies- if you can't give these women the empathy and compassion they deserve I really suggest you say nothing. Or educate yourself.
'Because your misogyny is showing hun.'
Earlier this year Vicky admitted she felt 'depressed' and 'anxious' - just hours before her wedding to Ercan Ramadan.
The reality star married builder-turned-personality Ercan, 30, in August at Marylebone Town Hall before a second lavish ceremony in Italy.
