The star was seen admiring the blue ocean while standing by the shore, and penned: "So peaceful next to that water. I am always in the pursuit of peace - not happiness. Happiness is transient. I'm hoping for peace with all emotions as they wave over, through and by me. Wishing you all peace too."

She explained that despite working hard to maintain her mental wellness, when it comes to body image and her appearance, she still struggles.

"No matter how strong I get in my mental health, the iron grip of body issues is the one that won't let go. I took these photos yesterday. Then didn't post because I didn't want this to come off wrong. People are suffering and starving and I'm staring at my BELLY?!" she said.

Ginger Zee has been incredibly open about her health

Transparent as ever, she confessed: "I want this post to be inspiring. I want to say I've accepted myself fully and always remember how my c-section scar tissue gave me two beautiful boys. But I'm not there yet. I'm at least at the point where I can share these thoughts that I know so many others have so we can get it out in the open. That's what I’ve done with depression and it works."
