Jelena Dokic stripped down to her swimsuit on Instagram to promote positive body image on Monday.
The former tennis pro, 40, posted a photo of herself posing in a black swimsuit and shared an inspiring message about “embracing and loving your body.”
“What matters most is not the size of a person, but the size of a person’s heart,” he began.
‘So here’s my size 16 body, just to be clear, and I don’t care anyway. I am very accepting of my size and my body.
“But I know that my heart is much bigger than my size and that is what I am proud of, what matters and what matters most to me,” she continued.
Professional tennis player Jelena Dokic (pictured) flaunted her figure in a black swimsuit as she shared an inspiring message about “embracing and loving your body.”
“And for those who don’t think that way and think the other way around, that says everything about them and not about me.”
She went on to say that she “loves her body, loves who she is and always embraces it.”
‘I focus on how big my heart is and my goodness. That is what really matters. “That’s how I really became confident in my body and that’s why I have a positive body image,” Jelena added.
“Embrace yourself, focus on the really important values, and tell everyone else that body shames you into leaving (that’s the nice way to say it).”
‘Love your body, love yourself and be a good person. That’s all that matters at the end of the day.’
“Embrace yourself, focus on the really important values, and tell everyone else that body shames you into leaving (that’s the nice way to say it),” she wrote.
It comes after Jelena recently attacked ‘body shamers’.
She posted powerful images of herself in sizes 6 and 16, along with a lengthy caption imploring her fans not to “judge” her.
‘Will you judge me if I’m a size 16 because I’m a size bigger?’ the athlete-turned-commentator began.
‘And will you judge me if I ever go back to a size 6 for not being bigger and maybe losing weight?’
‘You should not. “Either way,” Jelena added.
“Shaming and mocking someone for their weight or judging their worth based on their size is pure body shaming and bullying,” the former No. 4-ranked player in the world wrote.

‘When it comes to health, of course I want to be healthy. Of course I do the best I can. Of course I’m working on myself.’
He added: “The bottom line is that we need to stop obsessing about size, weight and measurements and focus on kindness, good heart and generosity.”
‘What if I’m a size 16 today and a size 4 in the future? Who cares!’
‘And finally, if you want to lose a few kilos, so what? If you gain some weight, so what? There is nothing wrong with either one or the other,’ Jelena concluded.
Jelena recently spoke to Stellar magazine about her years of struggling with an eating disorder.
The tennis great revealed that she spent years struggling with her relationship with food due to the trauma she experienced growing up.
She said much of her eating disorders stemmed from the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father and his use of food as a weapon when she was just a teenager.
