On Saturday, the Modern Family actress shared a photo of herself dressed in workout attire to Instagram, where she revealed that she originally “hated” the picture. Our bodies have endured unfathomable feats that our minds barely have time to comprehend what has actually happened.” Hyland, who has had to undergo two kidney transplants as a result of kidney dysplasia, a condition in which the kidneys don’t fully develop in the womb, then discussed her own insecurities and her battle towards self-acceptance. Explaining that the medications, inflammation and excess water gain mean that her skin has a hard time bouncing back, Hyland said that when she saw the picture she “HATED it,” before reminding herself to be positive and decided to “celebrate it”.
