But in a recent Instagram post, Leila got quite honest with her followers and opened up about her insecurities.

 

Spent the last few days taking photos of everyone else and running away when the camera was on me only to realise there are bigger things to worry about. Having spotty skin or a chubby body filled up on travel and holiday food becomes such a small problem when we gain a little perspective. Sooo I asked mum to take some photos of me, and at first I couldn’t even look at them without wanting to hide myself where no one could find me ???? but we all have imperfections and must embrace every part of ourselves in order to be truly content. I’m still in the process so here’s one of the photos as a baby step. I’d like to end the year on a positive note so yah love u all happy holidays!!!! ??????????????????

According to Leila, "Spent the last few days taking photos of everyone else and running away when the camera was on me only to realize there are bigger things to worry about.

While on the island, Leila took time to focus on loving every bit of herself and that by writing this post, she takes a symbolic first step at self-acceptance.

"So I asked mum to take some photos of me, and at first I couldn’t even look at them without wanting to hide myself where no one could find me but we all have imperfections and must embrace every part of ourselves in order to be truly content. I’m still in the process so here’s one of the photos as a baby step. I’d like to end the year on a positive note so yeah love you all happy holidays," she wrote.
