I'm larger than normally so completely understand. I just avoid pictures lol.100%.
I’ve even been guilty of this myself. I took a really unflattering before picture and stretched it.
I wish I had kept to original as because when I actually did lose the weight, it didn’t compare as well and being locked down means people can’t see my progress in real life
I’m in my 30s now and recently decided to be more honest. I don’t edit my body anymore but will state if filters have been used or flattering angles.... and I have barely any followers but I’m still aware of the odd youngster on my page ... let alone someone who has thousands of followers- many of who will be from slimming forums.
But I do feel for her in a lot of ways because it sucks when your not happy with yourself. I find most of the time the girls who post more are the ones who are most insecure (in my case anyway) now I’m happier with myself, I find I post less.
Dieting is hard sometimes especially if you put so much pressure on yourself. I'm starting mine again tomorrow because although I can avoid pictures I can't avoid passing windows and mirrors. (Especially training to be a hairdresser mirrors are part of the profession).
I just feel like until she is honest with herself and stops editing her pictures she will always feel crappy looking in the mirror, because what she sees looking back isn't what she sees when she looks at her insta. I fully believe she needs better friends who will put her straight. The ones she surrounds herself with right now are just yes people clearly.
Tbh tho the only thing I noticed on that picture was the caption "messy hair we don't care" and thought messy mirror you should care. It's the dirty mirror for me.
