I love fitness blogger Sarah Puhto for posting these photos and for the honest words she put underneath. She wrote:

Body image Recently I’ve been thinking with a really negative mindset, I’m going to Singapore in 8 days and I had a whole month workout plan for how I’m gonna tone up and look super amazing. The reason why I wanted to do this is cause I’m going to see a lot of people who I went to high school with, who also follow me on here (hi hello how are you guys ) and I wanted to look good cause I sadly had this negative thought that some people would think something like “why does she look like that, I thought she works out like everyday? Where her abs at??” because I had gained quite a bit of fat while I was in South Africa from eating lots of junk food. Also I’m scared that people will think I look exactly like I look on my posed/flexed photos on my Instagram, which I really don’t. But because I’ve been sick the past week I haven’t been able to stick to that workout plan and haven’t even worked out for a whole week now which made me feel like I look less toned. I realised that this whole plan and mindset was so horribly silly. I shouldn’t care at all what other people think of my body because I’ve worked so hard to get into this positive mindset of loving my body and not caring what others think. It goes to show how I still do sometimes end up thinking in a very negative way and that I am not always positive and do care how people see me sometimes, because I am only human. I’m just glad I caught myself thinking like this and got myself out of this negative mindset. So here’s a photo of me on the left posing, sucking in and doing a fab booty pop vs how I look just normally standing with everything relaxed cause that’s what I look like in real life! What I’m trying to say is you shouldn’t stress about other people’s opinions of your body because at the end of the day it is your body and the only opinion that should matter about it is yours. ☺️ Hope you all have an absolutely lovely #humpday
