VIRAL

Σε αυτό το instagram θα δεις πόσο ψεύτικοι είναι όλοι οι λογαριασμοί με τα τέλεια κορμιά

O όρος "fitstagrammer" είναι πλέον γεγονός και οφείλω να ομολογήσω πως πρόκειται για μια μόδα που μου αρέσει πολύ. Όλο και περισσότεροι άνθρωποι στο instagram δείχνουν πώς μπορεί κανείς να ακολουθήσει τον "trendy", υγιεινό τρόπο ζωής, ενώ ταυτόχρονα συνεχίζει να παραμένει άνθρωπος. Τι θέλω να πω με αυτό;

Δεν μπορεί να μην έχεις πέσει πάνω σε κάτι απίστευτα κορμιά, με θεϊκές γραμμώσεις που δείχνουν πάντα τέλεια και αψεγάδιαστα. Αυτά φυσικά δεν είναι εκατό τοις εκατό αληθινά. Τη μάστιγα αυτής της υπερφυσικής τελειότητας τολμά να σπάσει η Sara Puhto, προκειμένου να μας υπενθυμίσει ότι το instagram απέχει πολύ από την πραγματική ζωή.

Σε ένα πρόσφατο post της, ανέβασε δύο φωτογραφίες που τραβήχτηκαν την ίδια στιγμή, αλλά δείχνουν το κορμί της εντελώς διαφορετικό.

Instagram vs reality Before I started being body positive on Instagram I would've posted the photo on the left (sucking in my tummy as much as possible) and said something along the lines of "gained a bit of fat this week" when in reality, what I look like relaxed currently is like the photo on the right. I wanted to post this to once again show that we shouldn't compare our bodies to the ones we see on Instagram because it's not always an accurate representation. I've had a really rough week emotionally, usually I try my best not to spiral down into the hole of negativity but this week it was really hard not to. I wanted to cut out junk/processed food during week days to lose some extra fat on my body, not that it really bothers me but the negative mindset made me think I looked gross and needed to immediately. I was being really hard on myself while doing this- every time I ate anything processed when I didn't have any prepped healthy meals at my house, I would instantly feel guilty and feel like a failure. I'm new to this whole food prepping thing so it's gonna take a bit of trial and error in terms of fitting in time to prep the food. But what I'm trying to say is that you really shouldn't be too hard on yourself. Everyone goes through their fitness journeys in different ways, what works for someone else may not work for you, everyone has their ups and downs because it is a journey after all! So don't beat yourself up if you have "slip ups"! Everyone looks different and it's completely okay and normal to have fat on your body! Just don't get too caught up on the negative thoughts or comparing your everyday body to someone's posed body, remember that you are beautiful no matter what. I hope you all have a lovely and positive Saturday!

Ήθελα να ανεβάσω αυτό για να σας δείξω ότι δεν πρέπει να συγκρίνουμε τα σώματά μας με αυτά που βλέπουμε στο Instagram, επειδή δεν είναι πάντα μια αληθινή αναπαράσταση.[…] Όλοι μας είμαστε διαφορετικοί και είναι απόλυτα εντάξει και φυσιολογικό να έχεις λίπος στο σώμα σου! Απλά μην έχεις εμμονή με τις αρνητικές σκέψεις ή με το να συγκρίνεις το σώμα σου με το σώμα κάποιου που ποζάρει σε μια φωτογραφία. Θυμήσου πως είσαι όμορφη όπως και να ‘χει.

Not a transformation photo In honour of hump day I once again wanted to make a booty pop vs normal standing photo, just to show that some of the booty photos you see in media are posed to accentuate the booty! Im not trying to call anyone out when I say this or say that all progress photos are like this, I even used to do this without thinking much about it and posted progress photos that had slight differences in stance in the before and after photos. I recently realised that this makes a huge difference and wasn't a complete accurate representation of my progress. I think people do this to show off their hard work from their best angles/poses because it does take a lot of patience, determination and effort. Also when you post a progress photo others do critique your body, saying things like you made no progress or there's no difference. So I understand why people do this, I just wanted to post this to show that you shouldn't look at someone's progress photos or just any posed photos and compare that to your body or the progress you've made. Everyone is different and loses weight/gains muscle in different places and in different periods of time! So don't worry if you feel like your progress is taking longer than others, it will come with time, it takes many months to build muscle or lose weight. It's personally taken me 18 months to start seeing visible arm progress because that's the place where my body shows the least progress and it's taken me a while to see what works for me! Remember that what works for someone else may not work for you so keep trying things out, be patient and don't give up!! YOU GOT THIS Also if you ever feel the need to make a rude comment about someone- Just don't. What's the point? It just makes the person feel bad and you accomplish nothing by doing so. Also it's just plain rude, so please stop. Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to say one thing and it ended up turning into a long rant Thank you for reading and I hope you all have an absolutely amazing #humpday

[…] Οι άνθρωποι το κάνουν αυτό για να δείξουν τη σκληρή δουλειά που κάνουν από την καλύτερη γωνία/πόζα επειδή χρειάζεται πολλή υπομονή, επιμονή και προσπάθεια. Επίσης όταν ανεβάζεις μια φωτογραφία εξέλιξης του σώματός σου, οι άλλοι σε κριτικάρουν λέγοντας πράγματα όπως ότι δεν υπάρχει βελτίωση ή διαφορά. Οπότε καταλαβαίνω γιατί οι άνθρωποι το κάνουν αυτό, απλά ήθελα να την ανεβάσω για να σας δείξω ότι δε θα έπρεπε να βλέπετε τις φωτογραφίες εξέλιξης των άλλων ή όποιεσδήποτε εικόνες με πόζα και να συγκρίνετε αυτές με την βελτίωση που βλέπετε στο δικό σας σώμα.[…] Θυμηθείτε απλά πως κάτι που δουλεύει για κάποιον άλλον μπορεί να μη δουλεύει για σας, οπότε συνεχίστε την προσπάθεια, έχετε υπομονή και μην τα παρατάτε[..]

Standing up flexing vs sitting down relaxed I've worked out for a year and a half now, yes I still have body fat and I will always have some sort of amount of body fat. That to me is completely okay and I see nothing wrong with it because I'm comfortable with how I look in both of these pictures! I'm so happy with the way I'm eating and working out now and I don't want to change that to lose a bit of fat. A year ago I would've hated the photo on the right and done hours of cardio and starvation diets thinking that's the way to get rid of fat and that the fat would be non existent after a year of working out. I'm not trying to shame anyone when I say this, but I thought this because I didn't see any fitness people ever show their fat while sitting down. Yes I've seen posts about being bloated and pinching a tiny amount of fat on their bodies but I couldn't relate to that and it used to make me feel ashamed for still having so much fat on my body compared to theirs. So I wanted to post this comparison of how I look flexed and standing vs sitting down and relaxed to show that I still have fat on my body and it's completely normal to have fat, especially on your tummy area!! Also we need to stop comparing our bodies to people we see in media or real life- yes they are beautiful but you are just as beautiful as them, even if it's in a different way. Your uniqueness makes you, you, so don't try and change that. Who wants to live in a world where everyone looks the same? Just love yourself for who you are and next time you feel insecure sitting down when in a bikini, DON'T because you look fabulous!!! I hope you all have an amazing Sunday

Γυμνάζομαι εδώ και ενάμιση χρόνο και έχω ακόμα λίπος και θα έχω πάντα ένα ποσοστό λίπους. Αυτό για μένα είναι απολύτως φυσιολογικό και δεν βρίσκω τίποτα λάθος, αφού είμαι απόλυτα άνετη με το πώς δείχνω και στις δύο εικόνες. […]Δεν θέλω να προσβάλλω κάποιον μ’ αυτό, αλλά δεν βλέπω κανέναν άνθρωπο του fitness να δείχνει το λίπος του όταν κάθεται.[…] Η μοναδικότητά σου είναι αυτό που σε κάνει εσένα, οπότε μην προσπαθείς να το αλλάξεις. Ποιος θέλει να ζει σε έναν κόσμο που όλοι δείχνουν το ίδιο; Απλά αγάπα τον εαυτό σου γι’ αυτό που είσαι και την επόμενη φορά που θα νιώθεις ανασφάλεια όταν θα κάθεσαι και θα φοράς ένα μπικίνι, ΜΗΝ νιώθεις έτσι, επειδή είσαι υπέροχη!
