Your Body Vs Social Media
Yes yes yes – we are so thankful that women are starting to lift the curtains on how fake some social media posts are.
Why? Because we have to stop comparing ourselves to other women and making ourselves feel unworthy just because we do not look a certain way.
We are comparing ourselves to something that is not even real!
Different poses and clothing can drastically change the appearance of someone’s body in a photo.
4 women show us how deceiving can a social media body post be:
Bree Lenehan.
Bree decided to post her own side-by-side comparison photos to show how unrealistic some Instagram photos are. Whether it be the clothes or the poses, various “influencers” are trying to portray a “perfect” body online.
“Just a friendly reminder not to compare yourself to others. Photos on social media are peoples favourite photo out of hundreds. But if you see them in real-time, you’d more likely see a different version. That’s because bodies move. They’re not always firm and toned-looking. They fluctuate, wobble, expand and look different under different lighting, poses, and angles!!” Image source: breeelenehan
Mums – do you edit, pose or use lighting in your social media photos because you think it makes your body look “better” ?
If yes – do you see how you are unknowingly making other women feel imperfect?
Please can we all rather focus on our smiles, not our rolls, stretch marks, or cellulite – because most of us have these – and we need to stop pretending otherwise.
“Every time a woman shows she’s comfortable in her own skin, she inspires another woman to be comfortable in hers”
Mums, have you compared yourself to other women’s body posts on social media?
Comment below to share your story x
I’m sixty and never cared about my cellulite or midrit I’m healthy and that’s what’s important to me
Amen to that
Social media will be the death of you if you pay a lot of attention to it🙄 rather focus on you eat healthy exercise and drink a lot of water. You will regain your natural glow and maintain your body. Warm water works for me
The best thing to do is to make sure you never compare yourself to social media pics otherwise you’ll be depressed unnecessarily.
We should worry more whats inside of us and how we treat other people true beauty its from within.
Never compare urself to social media pics
Everyone is beautiful in there own way
Love urself the way u are
Thank u mumbox
Love the skin you’re in 🤍, social media can be a dark place for body positivity
This is so true. We always look at how good someone looks and compare ourselves not know how much effort someone goes to looking “perfect ” on social media . Lighting, poses , clothing are huge factors in taking pics and can be seen so different in pics compared to reality.
Wow and to come and think of how we strive hard to look like them,this is really helpful I wish other women can see this.
Wow yeah makes realise we all have something about our bodies we dont like. But in the end we are all beautiful and we must not let people on social media tell us otherwise
So true…so happy I read this article!!!!
Nope. I am who I am. You either love me or leave me. I rather have a beautiful heart than a perfect body. I’m 54, I have my cellulite and rolls like everybody else. But I do have a good heart. I dnt mean it in a bad way, And with clothes on, I’m a size 34/36. So I’m comfortable in my body. It’s not about how many rolls or how much cellulite a person has its their personality. And if they feel comfortable in their skin.
I use to compare my body with others, but after reading this article I’m now relieved.
Thank you this is so true
Lol so true esp those make up images then u see the before and after and like wow
