'We all have these parts of us that some may deem as "flaws". I like to call them "being human" and "being unique". Both of these photos are "real life",' she said.
'Just because you take a "nice" photo with good posture or good lighting doesn't mean it's not real life - it's just a part of yourself or your life that you've chosen to show.
'It took me many years to be confident and comfortable in my own skin and I still have moments when I'm not but most of the time I am.'
She went on to encourage her followers to place importance on self-love and body confidence as everyone has insecurities, no matter who they are.
'Remember that everyone has insecurities no matter who they are.' she said.
'You might look at someone and think they're "perfect" but that doesn't mean they're confident. Self love, body confidence and appreciation is something I'll always place importance on.
'And it's something I'll teach my daughter Mia as well - to love and be grateful for who she is and what she's got.'
Although Emily said some people may see things like this as a 'flaw', she sees it as something 'unique' that proves she's human
This isn't the first time the fitness star has spoken about her 'saggy, wrinkly belly skin' as she discussed it in a previous post where she said sometimes you can see the wrinkles and other times you can't.
Emily said she has had followers accuse her of photoshopping it out of some of her exercise videos so she wanted to prove them wrong.
She explained that depending on how she stands and what light she's in it can occasionally seem to disappear.
The mother-of-one said she's actually proud of her stomach and what it represents.

'I grew a human in this belly and the whole process into motherhood has made me SO much stronger and also so much more confident in myself and my body,' she said.
'I couldn't care less whether the stretched skin stays or goes! It's such an insignificant thing in my eyes.'
She also requested her followers to stop being so hard on themselves.
Emily stated that most people have some extra skin, stretch marks, cellulite or 'whatever else' which she said doesn't make anyone any less beautiful.
