Chrissy Metz Modeled For A High-Fashion Magazine, Then Made Us Cry

Predictable.

Chrissy Metz on Chris Sullivan's 'This Is Us' Fat Suit

As if she didn't make us cry enough in This Is Us (five-tissue alarm, everyone!), Chrissy Metz's latest Instagram posts have us blubbering at our desks. After posing for a pinup-theme spread in Harper's Bazaar, the actress posted the most touching, inspiring, well... just read it:

As so many women have paved the way before me, I am simply paying it forward...with the beautiful help of @harpersbazaarus, thank you for the feature and fun! We spend our lives comparing and despairing and possibly never receiving our deserved true happiness. Why is that? Why don't we uplift instead of repress? Why can't we encourage instead of deter? Here's what I know... It doesn't matter where you come from, what your scale currently says or what society has taught you to believe. You are entitled to greatness. No matter what. I say this to you and as a reminder to myself. All of our roads are paved differently. How amazing that we get to share our bumps and detours with one another. We teach the lessons and often times we are the lesson. We learn from them because we are also the students. We are beautiful works in progress and that's more than enough. Start there. When you sit in your seat confidently you allow others to embrace theirs. ❤️️💄💋 Click the link in bio for the full article & details on the amazing artists who helped to create & capture this look.

"Here's what I know...It doesn't matter where you come from, what your scale currently says or what society has taught you to believe. You are entitled to greatness. No matter what. I say this to you and as a reminder to myself," the actress wrote, next to a picture of herself looking fly in a polka-dot dress from Unique Vintage. We're not crying—you're crying!

And, there's more! " We are beautiful works in progress and that's more than enough. Start there. When you sit in your seat confidently you allow others to embrace theirs," Chrissy said. Yes, ma'am!

In the Harper's interview, the star echoed that sentiment: "If you can't love who you are now, you can't get to the place you want to be," she said. Read more of the interview, and peep more gorgeous pics, here
