Diese Frau macht Schluss mit der Instagram-Scheinwelt und zeigt die Wahrheit auf die definitiv beste Art ever

Zugegeben, wir gehören definitiv auch zu den Menschen, die gerne mal gefühlt Stunden damit verbringen können, durch all die funkelnden, wunderschönen Schnappschüsse auf Instagram zu scrollen. Hier ein Apfel-Po vom allerfeinsten, hier ein Beach-Foto mit Traumkulisse (und natürlich schlanker Badenixe on top), hier ein paar perfekt zurechtgemachte Beauty-Schönheiten. Irgendwelche Fehler oder Makel? Fehlanzeige! Nein, auf Instagram herrscht Perfektion.

Doch genauso schön diese ganzen Fotos auch sind, genauso FAKE sind sie auch (naja, oder zumindest der größte Teil)!

Denn dass hinter den meisten Apfel-Pos nur die richtige (und mega unbequeme) „Instagram Bootie“-Pose steckt oder ein Traumbody auch gerne mal mit Freund Photoshop und dem passenden Filter ins rechte Licht gerückt wurde, wissen wir mittlerweile doch eigentlich alle.

Aber es trotzdem nochmal schwarz auf weiß zu sehen, ist irgendwie nicht nur total beruhigend (Stichwort: Das sind auch nur ganz normale Menschen), sondern ist darüber hinaus auch noch herrlich erfrischend.

Es ist also auch kein Wunder, dass wir uns sofort in den Instagram-Account von Chessie King verliebt haben. Und ihr werdet gleich sehen, warum…

Denn Chessie ist Bloggerin, hat an die 345.000 Follower und sticht vor allem dadurch heraus, dass sie halt auch mal die perfekt nichtperfekte Wahrheit von sich zeigt. Heißt im Klartext: Kein Photoshop, kein Filter, keine Glanz-Pose – einfach nur Chessie, wie sie leibt und lebt.

Plus-Size-Models lassen sich photoshoppen um wichtige Message zu verbreiten: So unrealistisch sind Schönheitsideale auf Instagram

Und nur, damit ihr ein genaues Bild vor Augen habt: Das auf dem Foto in pink ist Chessie. Eben ein typisches Instagram-Funkel-Foto mit dem richtigen Glow.

Doch wie lange die Bloggerin für dieses Foto gebraucht hat, wollen wir mal gar nicht erst wissen. Nein, wir konzentrieren uns lieber auf Chessies wunderbare Instagram-vs-Reality-Schnappschüsse.

Denn die sind genau DAS, was wir gerade wirklich brauchen. #BodyPositivity

Schließlich ist keiner hundertprozentig „perfekt“, auch wenn Instagram uns das immer vormachen will.

Und deswegen zeigt uns Chessie stattdessen, wie es nun mal wirklich ist und löst damit ein kleines bisschen den Schleier von der sonst so unnahbaren Instagram-Scheinwelt.

Im Klartext sieht das dann so aus: Chessie mal mit Sixpack, mal mit kleinem Food-Bauch, Chessie mal in perfekter Pose, mal im Normalo-Zustand oder Chessie mal im perfekten After-Workout-Modus und mal völlig verschwitzt (und hey Leute, so sehen ja wohl ALLE nach dem Sport aus, oder sollten es zumindest. Alles andere ist unnormal!☝️😄). Und wir könnten noch ewig so weiter machen. Aber schaut euch unsere Top-Auswahl einfach mal selbst an, es ist einiges!

Chessie zeigt uns den ultimativen Instagram-vs-Reality-Vergleich:

(Und wir lieben sie dafür!👏)

‘GOALS’ - a term we see errrryday on this Instagram thaang 💁🏼‍♀️ It’s amazing how different my goals are to a few years ago. All I cared about was being the leanest I could be, never missing a gym session, sticking to a ‘meal plan’ that took all the love out of food & ... these are NOT ‘life goals’, these are restrictive & no fun 🙅🏼‍♀️ - I would never ever of been brave enough to put the right photo up back then but your gal has changed... my main goal now is to be as happpy as I can possibly be & that means feeling as comfortable as I can be in my own skin. I was about to film a little video about my skin this afternoon (that red lil’ cheek!), I looked down & saw my tummy. I would’ve been disgusted a few years ago & would’ve put a top on to cover it up, but I gave it a little jiggle & smiled. It may not look like the left (which was only a few months ago) but I really couldn’t care less. I’ve said this before but my happiest times in life have been with my family, with my bestfriends, with Mat, none of them have been about my body or how I look. So tonight, have a think & write down a few of your favourite memories & remember how amazing you felt in those moments. Live to make more of those & stop wasting time looking at that Instagram profile thinking they’re ‘goals’ ❤️🧡💛

Food is not scary, food is not the enemy, food is fuel, food is delicious, food is there to be ENJOYED ❤️🧡💛 - Left: 5 years ago. Scared of food, an unhealthy weight for my height (nearly 6ft) - Right: Found a love & very healthy relationship with food 💃🏼 I posted this last May but after so many messages after the recent post where I opened up to questions, I really hope it will help a few of you if you need it 🌈 Educating myself about exercise over the past few years has given me a whole new relationship with food. It’s now my bestfriend NOT the enemy 💛🍽 I used to get into bed proud of myself if I'd missed dinner, excited to wake up the next morning with a flat tummy. I forced myself to do endless amounts of cardio with absolutely no fuel & constantly felt light headed with no energy. I congratulated myself if I felt hungry & celebrated my tummy rumbling. I slowly started introducing foods that scared me, just a little bit at a time so it wasn’t too overwhelming, I started experimenting with different tastes 🍴 I now eat what I want when I want, with the thorough understanding (after 5 years of learning about my body) what food I need to support my active lifestyle. Without the food, I wouldn't be able to do the workouts I do, I would be able to work as hard as I do 🏋🏼 Even just sitting down to do work, I feel so much more productive when I’ve had a good nutritious meal. I don't count macros, I don't cut ANYTHING out of my diet (except black pepper & goats cheese! 🤢) I just eat healthy whole foods & nourish my body. I don't ever feel that guilt I used to live with every time I took a bite of even just an apple. Girls, if I could go back to the left photo, I would tell myself how amazing food really is. How important it is to understand what you're putting in your body & how much you need. I am not a nutritionist but I know what works for me & I’m still constantly learning 🙋🏼‍♀️ Anyone reading this who needs that little bit of bravery 🦁 YOU’VE GOT THIS & if you feel like you haven’t, there’s always support, you are NOT alone. 🍊🍋🍌🍿🍉🍓🍍🍦🥝🥕🥑

Smooth skin, peachy booty, small waist, thin thighs... you can have it all in just 30 seconds of editing 💁🏼‍♀️ It’s scary how easily & quickly you can change your body on some of these apps. @lydiaxcollins & I had a play round to see how ‘modern day perfect’ we could make me look but still making it look ‘real’. Instagram can be so encouraging & inspiring but it’s also a ‘perfection’ trap 95% of the time & it can be so unhealthy & it still effects me. I want you to be able relate to me & look at my body & know it’s achievable. I want you to see me & know I look exactly the same in real life as I do on here. Yes people work extremely hard for their bodies & some people do look like the right but the rest of us gals should not have to feel like sh🍌t if we don’t 💃🏼 Sending allllll my love to anyone that’s compared themselves to another human today or wished they looked like that person on Instagram. You’re beautiful, in your own unique way ❤️🧡💛

“BOOTY GOALS” 🍑 “OH MY GOD I WANT YOUR BUM”... you see these kinda comments all over your newsfeed, but would you see those kinda comments on the right photo?! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Neither of these photos are edited or photoshopped, same bottom just 2 completely different angles. Are you hooked on growing your peach to look like your favourite instagram girl? Have you ever thought maybe they have what I’ve got on the right: the dimples, the uneven cheeks, the bit I like to call the “second booty” (that bit underneath your bottom). I used to be extremely conscious of the back of my legs & if anyone was walking behind me whilst I was in swimwear I’d cover my booty & my legs because I was so embarrassed. I still find it a little bit scary sharing the right photo but I’m in my happy place, stuffing myself with popcorn! 🍿 & if it helps at least one of you to realise it’s OKAY to have imperfections then it was worth me pooing my pants a little. So next time you look in the mirror & see something similar to the right photo, just have a little word with yourself, I gat it too gurlll. You’re not alone 🙋🏼‍♀️🧡❤️💛

Put your hand up if your thighs touch when you sit down 🙋🏼 Keep your hand up if you've ever looked at those goddesses on Instagram & wondered why theirs don't 🙋🏼🙋🏼 No matter how much 'body confidence' I share with you on here, I still really struggle with my legs when I'm sat down. When I'm in a bikini or shorts I look down & I immediately want to cover them up. They spread out like marshmallows & not even tasty-I-want-to-eat-you marshmallows. BUT unlike a year ago, I now snap out of it & remind myself what my legs do for me. They walk me everywhere, they make me jump AND they carry my torso my arms, my head & all 6 foot of me errryday. So next time you look down at your legs & they're touching, getting cosy with each other & making friends... just have a little think what they do for you & send a little bitta love down there. There's so much more to life! 💛 The blue pool, blue skies & tanned toned legs holiday photos are what you think people want to see but actually, I would much rather show you rainy season grey skies & how my thighs reaaaally look when I'm horizontal 👙 I think the derogatory names out there for 'bigger legs' like Thunder Thighs, Tree Trunks are a big reason for the leg hate. So... to all ma girls who have ever felt too conscious to wear short shorts, lets hold hands & scream from the roof tops ALLLL HAIL THICK THIGHS THAT TOUCH, modern day society will NOT tell us what size they 'should' be 💃🏼

💃🏼|🙅🏼 Left photo: Favourited out of the 8 taken & posted. Right photo: Immediately deleted & forgotten about. Both photos unedited & seconds between them. I do so many of these but this one is my scariest & most exposing so far. I was going through my recently deleted folder ready to 'delete all' but saw the right photo & recovered it. I felt this sense of guilt that I'd deleted it & posted the left one. A year ago I would've been left feeling so unhappy by how I look on the right & deleted it forever like it never happened but it was a huge reminder for me today that Instagram can be such a 'perfection trap'. I'm clearly super happy in the right one after @brontekingg had cracked a hilarious joke, I don't hate it but the lighting isn't 'flattering' nor is the way I'm holding my body or the angle of it but it's ME. Both of the photos are me 🙋🏼 I am proud of how I feel about my body looking at these photos. I feel like I look healthy in both & look after myself but also live without controlling myself like I have done in the past. So your Monday Motivation all the way from Singapore: People post the best photo out of a bunch taken... I know it's said a lot these days but it helps me a huge amount too. If you see a photo of yourself in 'bad' lighting or an 'unflattering angle' just remind yourself how beautiful you are & that you're ALLOWED to look like that. We were not made to be Barbie dolls who LOOK insanely good 24/7, we were made to be humans who FEEL insanely good 24/7 💛

"I want to look good for summer" "I want my bikini body back" SURE... but whyyyyy don't you want to look good for winter too? For Father Christmas? 🎅🏼❄️ How about FEELING good for life? FEELING like a superwoman the whole year round? Yes '8 week transformations' are amazing to get you going & if you're learning from them AMAZING... but if you just stop there after the 8 weeks, your body isn't going to stay like that forever AND you may have changed your body but not your mindset. I can change my body in 2 seconds, from the left photo to the right & in both, I feel good. I know I train consistently, I know I fuel myself well, I know it's okay to let my belly out when I'm sitting down next to the pool. SO... long term/life plan: • Educate yourself, that doesn't mean doing a personal training course, that means learning about yourself, how to train & how to eat. • Do your own research, your own body is your best friend, explore it • Find a class you love & look forward to, find a PT that works you hard but looks after you, find a friend that gives you that little boost of motivation when you need it... find things that work for YOU! So tonight, do one thing for me & let your belly release, embrace it, give it a little jiggle 💛

We've all seen hundreds of these but they really do help me 1. Be honest with you & 2. Feel body confident in myself 💃🏼 I'll let you into a little secret... @mathewlcarter was snapping away like the amazing boyfriend he is & I stopped half way through to say I really felt uncomfortable. He asked why & I said I just feel like my legs look chunky. You see so many girls on their tiptoes 'posing' & I'm guilty of it too. It makes your legs look leaner & longer... but in reality, yes I am nearly 6 foot & I'm lucky to have long legs, but they are still the part of my body I feel conscious of. I know some of these 2 photo 'posing' 'natural' posts are done wrongly & they actually make you feel worse about your body, but a lot are done in the right way & really help me. Even though I preach body confidence & 'embracing the wobble' I still have moments where I feel like I want to hide my legs... but what's different is how I deal with it. I give myself a little prep talk & shake off that negativity & remind myself what they do for me! They carry me round every day & are strong mother f🍿🍿kers. I then just stopped 'posing' & smiled the biggest smile I possible could & it completely changed my mood. It's okay to find your 'pose' you feel comfortable in in photos, the tiptoe, the hip to the side, the one leg in front of the other... but it's even better to feel comfortable just standing flat foot on the ground, smiling like the grinch 🙋🏼 Rashie - @une_piece @seen_group 🍉

I want you to do something for me this evening. Try the 'instagram booty pose' in the closest mirror to you... Put your hand up if you have 'life handles' like me in the right 🙋🏼 I've preached before & I'm not going to stop anytime soon... these bits are the parts of your life that you love. The nights out with your friends, the family pack of popcorn you didn't share, the seconds/thirds/fourths of Sunday roast with your family... the FUN in your life, the memories 💛 Yes I can show you ma 🍑 & cover up the squishy bits but I also want you to know that you're not alone & it is OKAY to look like the right 💃🏼 I'd much prefer to look back on my life when I'm old & wrinkly knowing I had allll the fun compared to having the most boring stories 'but at least I didn't have rolls when I bent back for that booty pose'!

No matter what shape, size, height you are... never ever apologise for wearing a bikini 👙 The way you hold yourself speaks a thousand words. It changes how you look & how you feel. Shoulders back, chest open = confidence. Even if you're not feeling super comfortable, this posture oozes 'I'm slaying this bikini' Hunched over, slouchy = 'sorry I'm wearing this, I shouldn't be' YES YOU SHOULD. After so many questions since Ibiza bikini photos, I've filmed my top tips for SLAYING YOUR BIKINI 💛 I want you to try something for me now. Whether you're standing or sitting. Roll your shoulders forward & let that belly hang out. Notice how it makes you feel. Now, open up that chest & pull those shoulders back. You've grown a few inches & how do you feel now? Body confidence is a feeling, it's something you slowly find when you start thinking a different way. It's not just about 'losing a few pounds' or 'dropping a dress size'. With summer holidays coming at you like a rocket, I want to help you feel like the GODDESS YOU ARE in every outfit, bikini or you're favourite dress 💃🏼

Und Chessie hat noch eine mega coole Message obendrauf für uns.

„Selbst als ich total schmal war, und als ich am meisten trainierte und am wenigsten aß, wollte ich meinen Körper nur verhüllen, weil es nicht meine Vorstellung von ‚perfekt‘ war. Jetzt ist es meine Priorität, glücklich zu sein und mich wohl in meiner eigenen Haut zu fühlen. Heute schätze ich meinen Körper und das, was er für mich tut. Wir wurden nicht zu Barbie-Puppen gemacht, die 24/7 gut aussehen, wir wurden zu Menschen gemacht und wir sollten uns rund um die Uhr gut fühlen können“, schrieb sie unter ein Instagram-Video von sich.

THIS IS ME. THIS IS MY BODY 🙋🏼‍♀️ No flattering angles, no flattering lighting, just me & my body feeling on top of the 🌍. We all have days where we feel super duper good but we don’t share them enough. I want YOU to feel confident enough to dance around in your underwear & embrace any wobble you have! A few years ago I would never have posted this, all I cared about back then was being the leanest I could, going to the gym as many times as I could a week & counting every calorie I ate 🍴 Even at my smallest, when I was training the most & eating the least, I just wanted to cover up my body because it wasn’t my idea of ‘perfect’ 💁🏼‍♀️ Now my priority is to be happy & comfortable in my own skin, & today I appreciate my body & what it does for me. We were not made to be Barbie dolls who LOOK insanely good 24/7, we were made to be HUMAN & we should all be allowed to FEEL insanely good 24/7. Come at me keyboard warriors, you can say what you want but nothing will knock me down 💃🏼👊🏼

Also Girls, seid einfach ihr selbst! Denn SO kommt ihr schließlich auch in der „echten“ Welt gut an, oder nicht? Und das ist am Ende doch immer noch das, was zählt. ❤️
