Starting off with her trademark humour, Vicky joked: "Imagine my utter shock and dismay when after 3 days trekking through the Icelandic mountains I don't instantly look like a Victoria secret angel/professional athlete/waif like model?!!! HOW RUDE??? 😂"
She then turned serious and urged people to appreciate their bodies no matter what they looked like as long as they were healthy.
"This is just a little reminder that strong, healthy bodies are what we all should be aiming for… and healthy looks quite different on everyone ♥️" she wrote.
"Instead of obsessing over how we look.. I feel like instead we should be focusing on how we feel and what we're capable of 😍"

Praising CoppaFeel, which raises awareness and money for breast cancer charities, she wrote: "I am proud of my little body and what it got me through last week… and I am even prouder of the women I trekked with that have survived breast cancer or are living with this awful disease.
"THEIR bodies, achieved incredible things last week.. and they deserve to be celebrated 🥹"
"It's time we shifted our perspective and focused on health, happiness AND feeling good.. rather than some unobtainable and toxic aesthetic," she noted.
"Every lump, bump, scar, stretch mark and tiger stripe on our body tells a story.. whether that be of strength, resilience, experience or pure joy..

Vicky says: 'Every month, you lose yourself — and as I've gotten older, it's gotten worse.
"It used to last a few days, but now it's seven to ten days before my period.
'I'm anxious, I'm emotional, I'm exhausted, and I'm completely unrecognisable from the woman I am the rest of the time.
'The things that bring me joy don't bring me joy.'

'I broke down when she said I had
PMDD,' Vicky said of her diagnosis after turning to private medical care three years ago. 'I'd had five years of being gaslit.'
