VETERAN actress Melissa Mendez isn’t holding back when it comes to embracing her body and all its imperfections.
In a recent Instagram post, the 60-year-old star confidently shared a selfie in a cute pink outfit, accompanied by a message about self-acceptance.
“My body. Reality. Unfiltered,” Melissa wrote in her caption.
Reflecting on her physical journey, the actress described her body as “flawed” but resilient.
“My body has gone through a lot. It gave birth to three beautiful children who are now adults. It has weathered time as it grew older at 60. It has undergone menopause. It has extensively undergone weight loss, thus the wrinkled, sagging, and loose skin is very evident. It has stretch marks. It is flawed,” she admitted.
Despite these changes, Melissa has nothing but gratitude for her body. “But my body isn’t complaining and grumbling. In fact, my body is proud for what it is, having survived it all. It’s happy just the way it is,” she declared.
