Blogger mostra porque não deves acreditar nas «fotos sexy» do Instagram

A blogger Milly Smith optou por difundir mensagens de auto-amor e positividade do corpo, para ajudar as pessoas a entender que são lindas da maneira que são, e provar que você não podemos acreditar em tudo o que vemos nas redes sociais, especialmente no que ao corpo diz respeito.

Milly tirou fotos de si própria em duas fases: na primeira ela parece ter um corpo esguio, e na foto seguinte mostra que ela escondeu a barriga atrás de umas calças justas.

Same girl, same day, same time. ???? Not a before and after. Not a weight loss transformation. Not a diet company promotion. ???? I am comfortable with my body in both. Neither is more or less worthy. Neither makes me more or less of a human being. Neither invites degrading comments and neither invites sleezy words. ???? We are so blinded to what a real unposed body looks like and blinded to what beauty is that people would find me less attractive within a 5 second pose switch! How insanely ridiculous is that!? ???? I love taking these, it helps my mind so much with body dysmorphia and helps me rationalise my negative thoughts. ???? Don't compare, just live for you. There is no one on this planet who's like you and that's pretty damn amazing don't ya think. The world doesn't need another copy, it needs you. ???? We are worthy, valid and powerful beyond measure ???????? (If you don't pull your tights up as high as possible are you really human?)

Na legenda, ela explica gosta da forma como parece em ambas as fotos, e incentiva os seguidores a não se compararem com fotos de poses que vêem on-line.

Os posts ficaram virais, e mostram que não devemos acreditar em tudo o que vemos na web.

Same girl, same body, same place, same time. STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO POSED PHOTOGRAPHS! STOP COMPARING YOURSELF AT ALL! YOU ARE YOU! Neither pose makes me a better person, neither pose defines my worth. When we can change our bodies this much in a photograph we can see even more so how basing our worth on the way we look or how others look is just insane, fickle and just not ok! Being body positive doesn't mean loving your body in a certain pose or when you've lost a few pounds; it means loving every angle, movement and squish right this very moment!! Wether you lose weight, gain weight, gain muscle, gain fat-ITS OK! Don't fear change, our bodies will never stay the same and fighting against it won't help, let your body move through life as it wishes, let it take up as much space as it wants and let it LIVE! Forgetting what we've been told all our lives is hard but 'ideals' come and go and beauty standards change so keeping up with them would be impossible, exhausting and a waste of a life -the one constant is your body, your wonderful vessel that guides you through, show it some care, some love and some respect. You deserve this.
