Jesinta Campbell now confident in her own skin thanks to Buddy Franklin

JESINTA Campbell says it was falling in love with Sydney Swans player Lance “Buddy’’ Franklin that changed the way she looks at her naked self.

IT IS hard to imagine Jesinta Campbell worrying about her body.

But the model and former Miss Universe Australia contestant says it was falling in love with Sydney Swans player and now-fiance Lance “Buddy’’ Franklin that changed the way she looks at her naked self.
“I feel so confident naked, which is funny — I never felt like that until I was with my fiance,” the 24-year-old says in the latest issue of Women’s Health magazine, in stores today.

“Maybe it’s because when somebody loves you so much, it’s easier to love yourself. You shouldn’t rely on someone else’s love to determine your love for yourself, but I think as you get older, the more comfortable you get in your body and skin. You realise your body is actually an incredible thing.

“One day, I’ll have a baby and this (body) will create a human. Once you appreciate that, then you become more accepting and respectful of yourself.”

Campbell had a boob job as a teenager, previously describing the operation as a “small procedure done to become a 12B”.

Appearing in a swimsuit on the cover of the magazine, Campbell attributed her ripped physique to simple hard work.

“There really is no secret, you’ve just got to work hard,” she said.

“Fitness is a whole package. All the little pieces of the puzzle have to come together. For me, it’s about moving your body and being fit and active, eating the right foods, drinking the right things and relaxation as well, it’s that balancing act. It’s really individualised as well, so what works for me might not work for someone else.”
