Trolls keep encouraging people to bully a mum because she has stretch marks - and she's not having any of it.

Sarah Nicole Landry, better known as The Bird's Papaya to her two million Instagram followers, is renowned for spreading messages of self-love on social media. She uses her platform to open up about the various self-discoveries she's made regarding body image, encouraging others not to fear change.

In a recent post the Canadian influencer revealed some of the awful things trolls say to her, and one of them was: "Nope. This is pure laziness. She could do better if she would be bullied and little, lol."

Sarah is proud to show off her curves in bikinis and crop tops online. Her tummy is covered with stretch marks, and her thighs wiggle and jiggle, but she loves her changing body.

Time, and having children, undoubtedly alters what people look like - but she wants people to embrace it and not worry about it. This is why she spends so much time celebrating her body, and why she felt the need to hit back at the troll.

She told people she wanted to address the particular comment, but she just wanted to see it for what it is. When she saw it, she admitted it "stopped her in her tracks".

Sarah wrote: "This comment, made by a woman, calling for me to be bullied. But, as I looked at it, my brain now no longer autocorrecting the words, I could see it for what it is.

"A rushed, passerby comment from someone I've never met. Suddenly it looked different under that lens. It looked rather irrelevant, sad, misguided.

"But that's it, just a rushed comment by a passerby. Not a trusted loved one. Not someone I would ask advice from. Not anyone who has my skin in the game of my life.

"Basically, a fart in the wind. The world online is both beautiful and brutal. Bullying has become the expense you pay to exist in these spaces."

The mum also said she hopes other people never have to receieve comments like this but, if they do, she said it's important not to let them bother you. People have much better things to do than worry about what other people think, so start living your life as you want to.

It's evident the post has struck a chord with many, as more than 100,000 people have liked it. Sarah's followers were also quick to comment, and many said they "couldn't agree more" with her ethos.

One person said: "I guess there's always the duality that exists but remember that it's really nothing compared to the countless women who you help feel seen and still sexy. Thank you for what you do."

A second added: "Projection coming from a place of hate, their own insecurities and nothing on you. It's tragic for them - I wish them well on their rough journey. This one and next."

A third replied: "An absolute fart. I started seeing people's negativity thid way, and stopped commenting as well. They don't know you, and they are farts."
