Lena Dunham shares lingerie photo, says she's the heaviest and happiest she's ever been


Something has changed for Lena Dunham.

The 32-year-old writer, actress and producer shared a photo of herself in lingerie with an intimate message on Tuesday. In it, she described feeling, over the years, like she was “too much” of one thing or another and that she needed to change in order to be accepted.

Now, she’s done with that. Today, Dunham wrote, she weighs, loves, reads and writes more than she ever has in her life, and, as a result, she’s the happiest she’s ever been. She described it as a “big, generous, jiggly happiness.”

Dunham, who tagged the company that provided her lacy black panties and bra, Lonely Lingerie, in the post, was celebrated in the comments.

“This is so lovely. I learned a while ago to speak my mind and just do me and if some people don’t like me for it then they are not for me and the world still turns. Not everyone has to like everyone! Ps ur underwear rocks, as do u x” — @catherinejsouthall

Dunham has been outspoken before about topics such as her struggles with endometriosis and her addiction to Klonopin (a sedative that she took to control her anxiety), as well as politics and her body.
