BRTalk about an optical illusion 😳
I’ve always shared “social media VS real life” posts across the years, but it’s crazy to me that even now at almost 30 weeks pregnant, an entire baby bump could technically be hidden when I take a photo from the front & pose 🫨
if I can still make it appear like I naturally have a flat tummy & abs when I 100000% don’t then just imagine what else you’re not seeing as you scroll & compare yourself. It’s not real, okay? And even if it is real & they really do have abs 24/7, it’s important to remember that we don’t know what measures have been taken to reach that kind of physique. We are all different, with unique genetics, lifestyles, habits, hormones, levels of fitness, the list goes on… 🫶
I have cellulite, stretch marks, perioral dermatitis, softness, swelling & get so incredibly bloated on top of the baby bump by the end of the day that I feel like I’m gonna pop 😂 but can you see all of that through one little posed snippet online? No.
Just because you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist!! Although of course I do share ALLL of those parts online too because I want to always encourage you to be kind to yourself & know that these things are sooo normal & HUMAN 🫂
You’re good enough as you are ❤️🩹 #bodyimage #beautystandards #relatable #expectationvsreality #realpost #instagramvsreality #confidenceboost #selflove #pregnant #opticalillusion
