    Gaga continued her campaign against weight critics by posting unretouched snaps - and launching the Body Revolution

    Lady Gaga continued her campaign against weight critics yesterday, by stripping down for a series of nearly nude shots - and posting the unretouched snaps on Twitter.

    Uploading the pictures online, Lady Gaga captioned the first shot: 'Bulimia and anorexia since I was 15.'

    Explaining her recent weight gain, she wrote: 'My boyfriend prefers me curvier. When I eat I am healthy and not so worried about my looks, I'm happy. Happier than I've ever been.

    The songstress also posted the pictures to newly-created Twitter account A Body Revolution - titling one: 'To inspire bravery' - and encouraging her Little Monsters to do the same.

    Earlier this week, it was revealed Gaga was told to shed 11kg (1st 11lb) by her record company, reports they have since denied.

    But shortly afterwards, the star used Twitter to slam what she called our 'ugly' society, writing: 'To all the girls that think you’re ugly because you’re not a size 0, you’re the beautiful one. It’s society who’s ugly.
