On top of that, the actress reflected on her unsettled childhood where her family moved twelve times before she turned eighteen. Speaking of a lack of safety and security growing up, Camila said: “If you don’t have that literal box, you have to create it in your habits.” The tattoo serves as a reminder of what she can “do physically for herself.”which she’s recently recovered from after seeing a therapist and nutritionist.
It's not the first time Camila has spoken out about body image. In 2017, the 24-year-old actress partnered with Project HEAL to help make treatment more accessible for those with eating disorders." She also posted an honest post to Instagram about why she "decided to stop dieting and chasing this idea of a body that I was conditioned to believe was the only acceptable shape."
