Известный инструктор по фитнесу Анна-Виктория на личном примере показала, как пользователи социальных сетей любят приукрашивать свои тела в Instagram. Для этого она опубликовала два селфи, на одном из которых она стоит в модельной позе с подтянутой талией, а во втором – сидит, так что на её животе видна складка.

«Так я выгляжу 1% времени. А так – 99% времени. И я ценю свою внешность, как в первом, так и во втором случае», — подписала она снимок. За сутки он собрал почти 300 тыс. отметок «нравится», а также широко разошёлся в прессе.

Этот пост стал причиной обсуждений. Некоторые пользователи обвинили Анну-Викторию в том, что она оправдывается за свой целлюлит. Другие же, наоборот, отметили, что тренер по фитнесу пропагандирует очень правильный месседж, суть которого заключается в том, что человеку не нужно насиловать себя ради какого-то придуманного образа.

Me 1% of the time vs. 99% of the time. And I love both photos equally. Good or bad angles don't change your worth ❤️ I recently came across an article talking about how one woman stated she refuses to accept her flaws, because she doesn't see them as flaws at all. I LOVED that because it sends such a powerful message that our belly rolls, cellulite, stretch marks are nothing to apologize for, to be ashamed of, or to be obsessed with getting rid of! As I'm getting older, I have cellulite and stretch marks that aren't going away, and I welcome them. They represent a life fully lived (for 28 years so far :)) and a healthy life and body at that. How can I be mad at my body for perfectly normal "flaws"? This body is strong, can run miles, can lift and squat and push and pull weight around, and it's happy not just because of how it looks, but because of how it feels. So when you approach your journey, I want you to remember these things: I will not punish my body I will fuel it I will challenge it AND I will love it ??? If you're following my page, you're a part of helping me spread this message and creating this movement — thank you. #fbggirls www.annavictoria.com/guides

Ab check this morning after having a big ol' plate of pasta last night ?? Balance is so important in a HEALTHY fitness journey. And I emphasize "healthy" because many are so afraid to eat anything not healthy or "clean" and while I will admit I've had similar thoughts myself, I immediately had to consciously remind myself how important it is to RELAX and just enjoy a meal without thinking how it will impact your body. — Being obsessed with being healthy and perfect 100% of the time to me is not healthy emotionally. Let's put a stop to the "All Or Nothing" mentality. Your life shouldn't revolve around the gym or eating salads. I wholeheartedly believe you should prioritize your health, so I DO eat healthy the majority of the time but I think it's just as important to relax and have a "cheat" or "treat" meal once a week. — Understanding that 'one meal won't make you gain weight just like one meal won't make you lose weight' will help you practice healthier habits emotionally, mentally and physically. So next time you're out with friends or family, enjoy it! You deserve it ? you may be bloated after (I def was last night) but in the morning you'll be back to normal, as I was this morning. Actually, my abs popped even more ?? so just remember…balance. #fbggirls www.annavictoria.com/guides

Just a lounging selfie ? no makeup or hair done, not posing (and no sticking out either). I'm not sharing this because I think I look bad, or because tummy rolls are bad, or because cellulite, messy hair or no makeup is bad. None of those things are bad or imperfect. They are NORMAL. — I'm sharing this because I just received an email from a 16 year old girl that said I am the only person she follows that actually made her feel good about herself. That even though she's not particularly unhappy with her body, that seeing endless perfect photos started to make herself compare, poke and prod at her own body. The impact social media has on young girls and their self-esteem is an issue I feel very strongly about and if me posting one casual, non-posing, non-done up photo can help a young girl (or man, or anyone of any age!) feel better about themselves, then I'm happy to put myself out there. — Some will look at this and say "what's the big deal?" If it doesn't resonate with you, that's ok. I just ask that you think of those who it does help before firing off with negativity because you don't "get" it. So when we live in a society that profits from your insecurities, be a rebel and LOVE yourself. Love your body at every angle and don't ever be ashamed of being human, of struggling, or hey, even of loving the crap out of yourself!! ? We need more girls who are wildly confident and loving every bit of themselves and shouting it from the rooftops. Show young girls it's not only okay but necessary to be confident, strong young women, "flaws" and all. #fbggirls www.annavictoria.com/guides
