Dear Instagram,
I really like you!
You give me cool content and great pics all in just one swipe of my index finger.
You help me to share stuff that will hopefully help others to make become fitter, healthier and happier.
I use you to find inspiration and to interact.
But sometimes you make me aware of my imperfections.
You have so many pictures of hot girls with amazing abs, perfect skin and sweat-free, post-workout selfies.
These people are incredible!
BUT…
In order for ME to be inspired there are a few more things I need you to show me…
I need something a little more real life…a little more down to earth…
I want to see…
1. Abs with post-pregancy stretch marks (I can show you a real life example!)
2. A bit of loose skin here and there (if anyone needs any I’ve got plenty I can share with you!)
3. A varicose vein poking out of a nice toned calf (again, I can help out here!)
4. Pics of abs taken before you go to bed- not first thing in the morning (water is a wonderful thing!)
5. A non-thigh gap or two!
6. Make up-free gym selfies (preferably without a pout too)
Infact Instagram, rather than asking you for these things, instead I’m going to ask YOU…
YOU…the person reading this…
SHARE your successes and celebrate your body!
Be PROUD of YOUR body and the steps you are taking to be fitter, healthier and happier!
