Is that real or nah?

Often times, we compare ourselves to not just celebrities but fit bodies we see all over the internet. Scrolling through the explore page on Instagram, we wonder why we can’t look like that hot girl or guy even though we’ve been busting our asses in the gym for months.

The truth is, what you see isn’t always real. A lot of the photos are photoshopped even if it’s the smallest adjustments. Even if it’s not photoshopped, camera angles and poses make the world of a difference.

There’s a trend going around on Instagram that a lot of girls are taking part in. They do a side by side comparison of their posed or photoshopped picture next to the natural picture. I think this is absolutely wonderful and eye-opening, and people are being encouraged to love their bodies.
