Hilary previously said she developed a “horrifying” eating disorder due to the pressure she felt to be “skinny” in her earlier career.

"We need to hear this more," another user wrote. "I have spent my life trying to be smaller. Now my goals have shifted to be stronger. We were not put on earth to make ourselves small. Especially for the male gaze."

"This is great, I remember her getting REAL small during the time when everyone was, and it's nice to see she's overcome that," someone else said. "None of us stood a chance 20 years ago, and I'm constantly worried that the same culture is returning. I hope people with platforms like hers will continue speaking about healthy body image."

“‘Stronger not smaller’ is a huge, impactful statement that resonates with me,” Hilary Duff said on the TIME100 Gala red carpet. “I grew up during that time where all of us were trying to disappear and be waifs, and that’s not natural for my body.” #hilaryduff #time100 Presented by @Booking.com
