In a new interview with Britain’s The Times Magazine, Serena Williams speaks candidly about how she’s struggled with loving her curves. The 34-year-old tennis champ says:

I know I get flack for my physique, and it has been a struggle to love my body, but now curves are in and I’m happier in myself.

She adds:

When I was younger, it was hard seeing all these thin athletes when I had more muscular curves and was big-busted. Just try running with DDs that are bouncing seven inches up and down! It’s distracting, not to mention dangerous, because you can tear ligaments.

Thankfully, she’s grown past her body image issues and wants her experience to inspire others.

Women face so many impossible ideals. It’s important for me to get across that there’s more than one way to look amazing.

    Now this is the definition of “working your ass” off {Khloe Kardashian} No filter. All natural. I am happy Serena is in a better place. Self esteem issues can be a monster. Love her honesty.
