Kailyn Lowry, one of the members of reality TV series "Teen Mom 2," has recently opened up about her struggles with body shaming. Lowry, a 25-year-old mother of two, has had a long history with body shaming along with her indecision towards her surgeries.

One of Lowry's particular struggles is her weight. The actress has known to be overweight for a 25-year-old woman, and she has had to repeatedly deal with "haters," a common threat to reality TV personalities. In her recent confession, Lowry talked about a paparazzi spreading a picture of her in a bathing suit when she took a vacation in Miami, Florida.

"Out of 10 years on tv I'm having the hardest time NOW. The pressure of outsiders, the criticism, the judgement. Sure i put myself out there. But never in my life have i seen or felt cruelty like i have lately," the reality TV star tweeted on her official Twitter page.

Lowry would then proceed a series of tweets about body shaming, claiming that sometimes she is "numb" to it, while other times, she is bothered by the haters. Lowry, who has had three separate ex-boyfriends who are fathers of each of her three kids, also said that her outspoken personality could be a reason for the hate.

"Some of it has to do with being misunderstood and a lot of it is the judgment of the fact that all my children have different fathers," Lowry said in an interview with U.S. Magazine.

A few days back, Lowry tweeted on her official Twitter page about getting a "lipo" and breast enhancement surgery in Miami. The reality TV star then went on to disclose that she "changed her mind" hours before her surgery. Lowry has had a history of changing her mind every so often.

The mother of three has then decided to workout and use the money she was supposed to spend for surgery to hire a nutritionist. While this is a tall order for Lowry, especially after admitting that she cannot choose a salad over a burger, her ex-boyfriend Javi Marroquin expressed his support and was "proud" of Lowry's decision.
