The influencer shared two side-by-side pictures of herself dressed in the same brown gym wear.

However, on the left-hand side, she had covered up and breathed in to give an immaculate view.

This compared to the right-hand side where Bree relaxed her tummy as showed it off in all of its natural glory.

She then shared a host of similar pictures in various other lycra ensembles to prove her point.

Captioning the post, Bree told her fans that her body image as well as her health and fitness has evolved so much over the years.

She told them: "Mine went a little bit like… 2014-2017: feeling sorry for myself, yo-yo dieting, punishing my body, loathing any form of exercise, never leaving the house.

"2018 priorities: drop dress sizes, get thin, lots of cardio, constantly putting myself down, obsessed with “fixing” my external appearance.

"2019-2020 priorities: lift weights, eat well, get stronger, push hard, strict routine, stay lean, only wear activewear that makes my muscles pop!!!

"2021-2022 priorities: learn to be kinder to myself, lead a flexible & balanced lifestyle, heal my relationship with food, focus on my health & happiness, increase my rest days, move in ways I enjoy, wear activewear that makes me feel supported, comfy and cute, live in the moment, take myself on dates, accept lifestyle & body fluctuations, appreciate what my body does for me, respect myself, take care of my body & mind, be myself & be proud."
