The 'Girls' star insists she is at ease with going nude as she displayed her body in an Instagram post to her 3.3 million followers.

Sharing a picture of her body, with her modesty covered by some strategically placed emojis, she wrote on Instagram: "Just wanted to share that one of the reasons @eatingboys has inspired me so much is because of the way she mixes her humor and sexuality. I spent so many years loving my body but thinking it wasn't lovable by others - its sole purpose was to be fodder for jokes. I performed the insult so no one else could.

"I don't regret any of it - that's my art and that was my truth - but now, at age 31, having been through hell and back with my health and other people's perceptions of my physicality, I feel deeply comfortable with the idea that this pear-shaped pot of honey is equally good for making people laugh and laying out like a Suicide Girl circa 2004. Love it all. (sic)"

Meanwhile, the 31-year-old actress has been showing off a slimmer figure as of late but she insists her weight loss is "not an achievement".

Posting a picture of the cover of a magazine which included the words "20 slimdown diet tips" beside a photo of her, she wrote in a lengthy caption: "20 slimdown diet tips! 1. anxiety disorder * 2. resultant constant nausea 3. an election that reveals the true depths of American misogyny 4. constant sweaty dreams of dystopian future 5. abdominal adhesions pinning ovary below uterus * 6. baseless but still harrowing threats to physical safety online and through smail mail 7. watching institutions you love from Planned Parenthood to PBS be threatened by cartoon mustache-twirling villains ... (sic)"
