Arrêtez de rêver devant les photos avant/après de régime, la démonstration implacable de cette blogueuse

Arrêtez de rêver devant les photos avant/après de régime, la démonstration implacable de cette blogueuse
Marine Le Breton

Sur Instagram, tout le monde a l'air parfait. Pas de vergetures, pas de bourrelets, une taille de guêpe... Et si tout cela ne tenait qu'à un collant? Sur son compte (@selfloveclubb), Milly Smith, 23 ans, montre que selon la façon dont on le porte, il est aisé de duper ses followers.

Regardez bien la photo ci-dessous, postée le 29 janvier. Il s'agit de cette étudiante en soins infirmiers dans les deux cas. À gauche, elle porte son collant au-dessus du nombril et se tient bien droite, un peu de profil. À droite, elle a baissé son collant et regarde droit vers l'objectif.

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?)

"Même fille, même jour, même moment", écrit-elle. "Pas d'avant, pas d'après. Pas de transformation liée à une perte de poids. Pas de publicité pour un régime. Je me sens bien dans mon corps dans les deux cas. L'un n'est ni plus ni moins digne que l'autre. Aucun des deux ne fait de moi un moindre être humain (...) Ne comparez pas. Vivez pour vous. Personne sur cette planète n'est comme vous et c'est juste génial, n'est-ce pas? Le monde n'a pas besoin d'une autre copie, il a besoin de vous. Vous êtes digne, bon et puissant."

Milly Smith n'en est pas à son premier coup d'essai. Elle poste régulièrement ce genre d'images.

YOU DONT👏🏾HAVE TO👏🏻 SHARE 👏🏽 UNDRESSED 👏🏻 PHOTOS 👏🏾 TO BE 👏🏿 BOPO! . Bopo is about encouraging and adopting a more forgiving, accepting approach to yourself and your body. Learning to love yourself inside out! It can be as personal or as socially shared as you like. . 💙 Building your self esteem through accepting your body and image doesn't have to mean sharing skin online. I do! And for many others it's empowering and helpful but if it's not for you then THATS OKAY 🙏🏻 . 💙 Whilst I think it is of great importance to build a relationship with your naked self and to realise it's nothing to be ashamed of- it's perfectly okay to not be comfortable with sharing that online; after all it's YOUR body and YOUR journey. . 💙 Do what empowers you, support what empowers others! Do what feels right for you and your body-whilst pushing yourself out of your comfort zone is very important it's also important to not feel forced or pressured into doing something you ultimately don't want to do! . 💙 Your journey is as unique as your body. Let it be that way. Don't compare someone else's journey or photos to yours- let yourself find what's best for you. We are worthy, valid and powerful beyond measure 💙

I've started to see beauty in things I was taught not to. ❤️ I see beauty in a genuine smile. I see beauty in wrinkles and laugh marks. I see beauty in raw unedited images. I see beauty in tummy rolls and back rolls. I see beauty in scars and stretch marks. I see beauty in blemishes and blotchy skin. I see beauty in fat, slim, able bodied, disabled, dark skin, transgender. I see beauty in not so perky boobs, scarred boobs, stretch marked boobs. I see beauty in cellulite, hair, smooth skin, bumpy skin. I see beauty in eyes, I see beauty in words, beauty in language and beauty in voices. ❤️ I realise how long I've been blinded to the beauty in the world, the beauty of myself. We've been taught to see certain things as undesirable- we weren't born that way so I fully believe we can learn to think otherwise and see the true beauty in the world once again. ❤ Ignorance, health as propaganda, being a media driven society and stupid beauty ideals/standards have taken away our ability to see beauty in ourselves and others- it doesn't have to be that way- it really doesn't. ❤️ Every woman marching today has filled me with pride and humbled me to my core. Not a single one of them looks the same, not a single one of them is unworthy of love, they are all unique; beautifully different and perfectly 'flawed'. I stand with women all over the world- we are valid, worthy and powerful beyond measure. ❤️

Just a same girl, same day, different pose reminder that our bodies look different in different angles and that it's perfectly ok, normal and natural. You don't need to look like anybody else but YOU ❤ 💛 I get asked a lot recently how to start a Bopo insta page as they want confidence. I often come up with nothing because I'm not entirely sure I understand. 💛 Are they asking me how to get started on a journey to self love or just how to start an insta page to get justification that their body is worthy in hope it will bring them self love? 💛 Before I put my photos and words out onto Instagram I started my journey to self love with myself; I mean it's still a very personal journey but I want to share it now and help others too. I took photos and wrote down love notes to my body without showing them to a soul- it was just for my soul and my mind. 💛 Starting an insta page could help you on your journey of course but your motives are what's important- know what they are before starting is my advice. Maybe do it off social media first and get a feel for your journey and what works/doesn't work for you and do it for YOU. Do it for your soul. Your follower count doesn't matter or make you more or less worthy. 10,000 people telling you your pretty wont bring about self love either. It's so much more than that and it starts deep inside yourself not with your aesthetics. Bopo isn't a 'trend'. 💛 It's not about how many you can impress, you need to be impressing yourself. Make yourself proud.

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.

Elle n'est pas la seule à vouloir montrer sur Instagram que tout est une question de perspective. Récemment, un professionnel du fitness Anna Victoria a elle-même partagé un post honnête de son corps.
