One otkrivaju koliko razlika u držanju može utjecati na izgled prilikom fotkanja

Uspoređivanje vlastitog tijela sa naizgled savršenim tijelima koja se pojavljuju na Instagramu i nije baš vjerodostojna usporedba.

Za fascinantne slike koje pokazuju zavidan stas u nekim je slučajevima zadužena kombinacija čimenika koji su povezani sa načinom držanja, kutom fotografiranja i rasvijetom u prostoriji.

Ove žene otkivaju kako i one imaju trbuh, celulit te višak kože, ali koriste trikove kako bi sakrile svoje nedostatke i inspirirale druge da prihvaćaju svoje tijelo.

'Fitology? More like Fatology... in both pics'

Me 1% of the time vs. 99% of the time. And I love both photos equally. Good or bad angles don't change your worth ❤️ I recently came across an article talking about how one woman stated she refuses to accept her flaws, because she doesn't see them as flaws at all. I LOVED that because it sends such a powerful message that our belly rolls, cellulite, stretch marks are nothing to apologize for, to be ashamed of, or to be obsessed with getting rid of! As I'm getting older, I have cellulite and stretch marks that aren't going away, and I welcome them. They represent a life fully lived (for 28 years so far :)) and a healthy life and body at that. How can I be mad at my body for perfectly normal "flaws"? This body is strong, can run miles, can lift and squat and push and pull weight around, and it's happy not just because of how it looks, but because of how it feels. So when you approach your journey, I want you to remember these things: I will not punish my body I will fuel it I will challenge it AND I will love it

LET'S TALK ABOUT SELF LOVE! The other day one of my friends (who is gorgeous by the way) showed me a photo she had taken of herself in an unflattering light in an unflattering pose to remind herself how disgusting she was at the moment. We can all feel beautiful or ugly in photos depending on the right angles and lights, just like me in these two images, which were taken 2 seconds apart (although admittedly my hair and makeup is professionally done but you get the point). Why do we all do this to ourselves? We wouldn't be friends with someone if they made us feel like this, but we still do it to ourselves. If you're in need of some self-love, my incredible friend @iammelwells is doing a 7 days of self love challenge, starting today. I urge you to follow her as she's doing amazing things and I'm so proud of her. Let's all love and be kind to ourselves a lot more. Tag a friend who you think needs to see this today.

Same girl, same body, same heart. . . Society has taught me that one of these is more beautiful than the other. And I've spent my entire life agreeing with it... but, as it turns out. Society is WRONG. Because that girl on the right with belly rolls is JUST as capable of doing ANYTHING as that girl on the left. . . While I may have hated my body for most of my life, its in this same body that I have traveled the world, met the love of my life, laughed with friends to the point of tears, ran several half marathons, held loved ones through heartbreak, jumped around screaming in celebration, found the courage to start sharing my journey publicly, and made the millions of memories that have added up to one incredible life. . . In this body I can power jump like a mofo, lift weights like the strong ass woman I am, stretch out with yoga, sit in silence while I meditate, high five my pups, and any other number of things I am physically capable of doing BECAUSE of this body. . . According to society's standards it doesn't always look perfect. But it IS perfect. Its gotten me through everything I've come across in this life, and it'll be here to get me through so much more. . . I am working on getting healthier, stronger, and better everyday... but equally as important is sitting here remembering that I am perfect just as I am... sitting, standing, jumping, bending, laying, hugging. Its all real, its all goodness. . . Guess what the BEST news of all is... you get to choose to love yourself too. Just as you are, in this present moment, no matter what your goals might be for the future. . . Time to stand up {or sit down
