A fitness blogger has gone viral by showing the real deal behind her
amazing Instagram photos.Sarah Puhto decided to share photos taken on
the same day but at a different angle,to show most of what we see on
social media is smokes screen.
She wrote
Instagram vs real life, If I saw the photo on the left a year ago I would’ve instantly thought
so negatively about my body, that all my hard work from working out was
non existent, that if someone looked at me they would’ve never thought
I’ve been working out for 2 years and think I wasn’t trying hard enough.
But the thing is is that all bodies look different. Nobody’s booty
looks round and peachy from all angles. Nobody’s body looks the same
from all angles.
Don’t eat less or miss out on your favorite meals/drinks or over
exercise to “look good for a holiday” or to “look good in bikini photos”
because there will always be angles that are “unflattering” that might
make you feel bad when you see them. Instead workout and eat healthy
because it makes you feel good, not as a punishment. Start loving and
accepting your body at all angles with all your “flaws”, instead of
trying to fit into societies image of ‘beauty’ because that image isn’t
inclusive of all individuals, which is so messed up.
Don’t hate yourself just because of bad photos, they do not define
you as a person. You look the best when you’re living life to the
fullest and happiest. There’s no point in missing out on things and
stressing yourself out so much. Life isn’t meant to be a competition on
who can look the best and we should normalize not having to “look
perfect” all the time because it’s a ridiculous concept.
You are perfect the way you are
