The comedian, 35, shared an [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/BOfcsUHgeQL/) photo of herself on Monday in which she holds up a photo of a slender lingerie model in front of her own body with the caption, “Too blessed to be stressed.” Her [body positive](http://people.com/tag/body-positivity/) message resonated with her followers, who responded with encouraging comments. “That’s a ridiculous idea of pretty or gorgeous,” commented @wn543\. “I love myself the way I am! Not that idea.” “Perfect! In every way shape and size,” wrote @lcushing201\. “Love this post.” “So true honey!” commented @joann.alexander. “I love all you do and stand for!” This isn’t the first time Schumer has [taken a stance against body ideals](http://people.com/bodies/best-body-positive-celebrity-moments-of-the-year/amy-schumer-defends-her-body-after-being-called-too-fat-to-play-barbie) on Instagram.

I don’t think so,” she wrote on Instagram earlier this month. “I am strong and proud of how I live my life and say what I mean and fight for what I believe in and I have a blast doing it with the people I love.” _This_ [_article_](http://people.com/bodies/amy-schumer-too-blessed-to-be-stressed-about-not-looking-like-lingerie-model/) _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://people.com) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4618226/amy-schumer-body-positive-instagram/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4618226/amy-schumer-body-positive-instagram/"},"headline":"Amy Schumer Isn't Stressed About Looking Like a Lingerie Model","datePublished":"2016-12-27T15:01:41.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:04:13.843Z","description":"Her fans agree","url":"https://time.com/4618226/amy-schumer-body-positive-instagram/","keywords":["motto","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltade6d210d8cb2a5a/6988b405a988cab22b6ba868/amy-schumer-body-positivity.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Gabrielle Olya / People"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltade6d210d8cb2a5a/6988b405a988cab22b6ba868/amy-schumer-body-positivity.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2016 - Red Carpet Arrivals","caption":"GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2016 - Red Carpet Arrivals","creditText":"Mike Marsland—Mike Marsland/WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4618226/amy-schumer-body-positive-instagram/","name":"Amy Schumer Isn't Stressed About Looking Like a Lingerie Model"}}]}] ```
