On her Instagram account, she created an Instagram vs. Reality challenge where she posts side-by-side images to show how much a certain angle or sucking in your belly can change your look. She says that nobody’s booty looks round and peachy from all angles.

Self conscious in Dresses 🌿 You know those articles that say “dress for your body shape” and “what not to wear if you have *insert inanimate object* body shape”. Those articles made me realise that I had no curves and I should wear clothing that made me appear to have curves. I didn’t know why I had to make myself appear to have curves. I was so insecure about what I was wearing, especially with dresses. I have a wide torso. I don’t have a small or curvy waist. Growing up I hated my body and thought that if I could somehow change my body, I would be happier. But it doesn’t work like that. Don’t let articles or anyone, including yourself, make you feel bad about your body. We shouldn’t be compared to objects, because we are not objects. We are all unique and have different bodies. Allow yourself to live, don’t let a small thing make you hate your body or stop you from wearing what you want. Don’t take your body for granted. Love it for allowing you to function everyday. 🌴☀ —————————————— . . . #bodylove #wearwhatyoulike #bodyshape #bodyposi #youreworthit #believeinyou #selflove #selfesteem

“I’m sure we’ve all had that feeling where you’re feeling cute at the beach but then you sit down and all of a sudden feel insecure and don’t know how to sit without … feeling … too exposed,” she wrote on her Instagram page. “Nobody is judging you and even if someone was then that’s a reflection of their inner insecurities, not yours.”

If you are curious to see more of her pics, have a look on Instagram. You will see that she has over 318,000 followers for a reason! Can you believe it is the same girl?

Arm fat 🌿 Ive noticed a lot of people pose in ways to make their arms look smaller and get highly insecure when their arms look bigger than normal. Due to weight gain, I’ve been highly aware of how I pose my arms in photos to make them look smaller. I would call myself fat and tell myself I look gross whenever they did look big in photos. But we have to remember that arms have fat and muscle on them and will look different in different postures and poses. Don’t view one as negative and the other as positive. Allow yourself to realise that other people don’t see us how we see ourselves. They don’t see the negative thoughts and insecurities we have. We don’t see theirs. We are over critical of ourselves and let that negative voice in our heads make us feel ugly. It’s possible to ignore that voice and avoid constantly looking at yourself negatively. Become aware of how lovely you are as a person. How amazing you truly are and that these things you pick apart are not as bad as you make them out to be. Realise that these things are actually completely normal and human. You are great the way you are and that negative voice can’t tell you otherwise. Don’t obsess too much over these things and miss out on all the amazing things in life that are right in front of you. 🌴☀ —————————————— . . . #effyourbeautystandards #lovewhoyouare #beconfident #iambeautiful #flawsandall #bodypositive #nobodyshame #embracethesquish

Bad body image days 🌿 Lately I’ve been having bad body image days. Everyone has days where they look at themselves and just see the negatives. I was struggling to get a good “Instagram” photo because I’m not as lean as I used to be. But I realised that even though I’ve been struggling to have the same positive viewpoint of my body that I’ve had majority of the time, there will always be ups and downs and you can’t possibly expect yourself to be completely content with what you see everyday 24/7. So here’s a reminder that it’s normal for your tummy fat to bunch up. It’s completely normal to gain weight and have difficulty accepting it because of the obsession society has with weight loss and being fit. But we shouldn’t have to stress about looking as lean as possible. Or stressing about normal things like tummy fat bunching up. We should be able to love and accept the body we have whether it’s like the left or right photo. You don’t need to constantly suck your tummy in and sit uncomfortably in order to look smaller. We need to realise that having bad body days is okay, as long as you acknowledge that it’s a bad day and those negative thoughts aren’t a true reflection of yourself. Your body is amazing no matter how it looks because it allows you to live and experience life 🌴☀ —————————————– . . . #instagramvsreality #changethewayyouthink #focusonyourself #bodygoals #idealbody #powerofpositivity

Instagram isn’t reality 🌿 I know most of us are aware that Instagram can be extremely fake but we don’t remember the extent of it all the time. I put on make up, put on this dress and stood out in -7°C to take a Christmas photos where I was actually freezing. Then took off the make up and changed into sweatpants after the photo. We choose the best photos out of hundreds and only show our highlights on social media. Don’t forget this and don’t compare yourself or your life to highlights that are posted on someone’s Instagram. Whether that be someone’s seemingly flawless face, body, relationship, house or holiday. You are valid and amazing the way you are and comparing yourself to others will only make you feel like you aren’t good enough. Which isn’t true. So keep doing you bb, you’re amazing 🌴☀ —————————————– . . . #instagramvsreality #socialmediaisnotreallife #positiveaffirmations #selfempowerment

“Bad photos” 🌿 You know when someone takes a photo of you and you just weren’t ready for it, or just feel like you look “bad” in it. Even if it’s a group photo, or a photo of you in a bikini at the beach with your friends, you shouldn’t have to suck in your tummy to be happy with a photo. You shouldn’t feel the need to delete a photo of a good memory where you’re doing something fun just because you feel like you look bad. We are our own worst critics. I can guarantee you don’t look as bad as you think you do. You wouldn’t say the mean things you say to yourself to your Best Friend. So why do you think it’s okay to say something like that to yourself? My body is NEVER as small as it is on the left without sucking in. And I’m not about to go walking around sucking in my tummy to the point that I can’t breathe properly just to look “smaller”. It will never be this small when I relax my body. That is okay. We see photos everywhere glorifying this idea that we need to be as small as possible to be beautiful. That’s not true. Don’t think that you need to look like someone else. Don’t think that your body needs to look any particular way, other than what your body looks like now because it is absolutely amazing the way it is. 🌴☀ —————————————— . . . #effyourbeautystandards #bodyfat #bekindtoyourself #findyourhappiness #workonyourself #losehatenotweight

These incredible photos fill our newsfeed every day and it can transport us to a world where fantasy and magic exist. But in real life, these photos can make us miserable and envious of others who we believe have a perfect life.

But, we all know that there’s no such thing as a perfect world and some people prove that these high standards are unrealistic. Kim Britt from Switzerland is one of those people who showed her followers that most of the things you see on Instagram are not real.

🎈🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂🎈 … to meeeeee! Heute ist mein Geburtstag und ich freu mich so! Ich hab richtig gerne Geburtstag und es drehen sich an diesem Tag etwa 85% um leckeres Essen 😂 Ich starte mit Pfannekuchen im Bett, dann geht's weiter mit Lachs und Shrimpsalat zum Frühstück… Sonst hab ich noch gar keine Pläne geschmiedet. Ich schau spontan, worauf ich Bock hab… 😀 Habt einen schönen, sonnigen Sonntag ☀ ______________________ My birthday is mostly about food! My previous plan is to start with pancakes in bed, then move to the living room and eat shrimp salad and salmon… That's the farthest I made plans 😁 ______________________ #kölnbloggt #kölnergram #cgn #modeblogger #blogger_de #blogger_at #blogger_ch #instablogger_de #frankfurt #frankfurtblogger #carmushka #berlinblogger #carmushkaootw

💪 Hallo liebe FitFam 💪 ➜ english version below Viele von euch fragen "Gigi, was machst du, wenn du so richtig Lust auf Chips hast?" Ganz einfach… 😃 Ich tunke Möhren in Magerquark und gönne mir dazu 3-3½ Rote Beete Chips! Die schmecken so schön nach Erde 😍 Voilà – fertig ist der healthy Snack… 👐 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS: Wir schauen jetzt den Gruselfilm "The Nun" im Autokino… Falls ihr in Porz und Umgebung wohnt ➜ die kreischende Frau bin ich 😊 _____________________ 💪 Hello beloved FitFam 💪 Many of you want to know what I eat when I crave potatoe chips? I just dip some carrots into low fat quark and eat 3-3½ beetroot chips! They taste like soil! Mhhhh! Yummy! 👍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks to your good critics, we'll watch "The Nun" in our drive-in cinema now… 🙈 Have a great one 😘 ________________ #kölnbloggt #köln #cgn #modeblogger #blogger_de #blogger_at #blogger_ch #instablogger_de #frankfurt #sweatingbeauties #sophiathiel #carmushka #berlinblogger #carmushkaootw

⚓ GUTEN MORGEN ⚓ ➜ english version below …und einen wunderschönen Samstag 😘 Für dieses Bild war voller Körpereinsatz gefragt! 💪 Was man auf dem ersten Bild nicht sieht, ist das sich die Algen in dieser stinkenden Brühe über das Paddel gelegt haben und diese somit so schwer wurden, dass ich sie kaum heben konnte… Ich hatte 'n mords Muskelkater am nächsten Tag 😁 Aber das lustigste war das Tretboot! Das hat uns einfach zerstört. Mein Freund hatte ganz übel "Rücken" danach und ich hatte blaue Flecken am Rückgrat, weil man sich so in diesen Sitz pressen musste, um von der Stelle zu kommen… 🐌 ____________________ Picture on the left brought me a horrible muscle ache because this stinking cesspit was so dense with algae that it was almost impossible for me to paddle through it 💪Picture number two brought me some bad bruises on my spine, because I really had to press myself into this plastic seat to pedal 😁 Have a great saturday 💋 ________________ #kölnbloggt #kölnergram #cgn #modeblogger #blogger_de #blogger_at #blogger_ch #instablogger_de #frankfurt #frankfurtblogger #carmushka #berlinblogger #carmushkaootw
