"I smile just as wide no matter my current size because I'm proud of what this body has seen and done and represented," she wrote. "Chronic illness sufferer. Body-shaming vigilante. Sexual assault survivor. Raging hottie. Just like all of YOU."

She went on to thank model Ashley Graham who penned a Lenny Letterpiece on fielding body criticisms throughout her career. Dunham also thanked fitness instructor Tracy Anderson for introducing her to the mental health benefits of exercise, and her Girlsco-creator Jenni Konner for her continued support.

"So much love to all my web friends who demand that life be more than a daily weigh in, who know their merit has nothing to do with their size, who fight to be seen and heard and accepted."
