Do you SIT differently in PUBLIC than you do in PRIVATE? I did. For YEARS I did. In public, I would pose. Squeeze. Arch. Tighten. In private, Iu2019d sit comfortably: shoulders relaxed, body loose, just being human. And I imagine that maybe, just maybe, Iu2019m not alone. I read an article once talking about the BEST WAY to POSITION your body on the beach. It was all u2018knees up, core tight, never lay flatu2019. And if you had extra wiggles and jiggles around the hips and thighs? The article recommended DIGGING A HOLE in the SAND. To put that bum into. So it would, you know, look LESS. As a teen, I did these things. And then, as an adult, I still held myself sucked in or avoided crossing my legs because heaven forbid anyone should see my CELLULITE. Things have CHANGED in this last year. I wish they would have changed so much sooner. So today, I just want to remind you: It is OK to sit comfortably. To RELAX while youu2019re RELAXING. Perfection isnu2019t the price you pay to exist in a human body. And comfort is pretty darn incredible. Posing is great fun, but NOT POSING doesnu2019t make you worth ANY LESS. Even if it means your wobbly bits come out on show. Or your skin folds. Or youu2019re just, well, YOU. Because being YOU is incredible. And worthy. And powerful. In whatever way, shape, or form. You got this girl. Go sit comfortably. x Photos @chiclebelle who is just the best #selflove #selfacceptance #bodyacceptance #iweigh #feminist

Hablemos de la iluminación. Porque esa es la principal diferencia en estas fotos. En la (foto) uno, mis glúteos están deliberadamente ubicados en las sombras. La luz más suave oculta mi celulitis y suaviza la mayoría de mis marcas de las estrías”, explicó Mercer.

Insta vs reality u2014 or LETS talk LIGHTING. Because thatu2019s the main difference in these photos. In one, my bum is deliberately angled into the shadows. The softer light hides my cellulite and smooths most of my stretchmarks. Itu2019s flattering. In the other, Iu2019m just casually squatting (lol) beside the mirror. My hips and thighs are in the sunlight. Lumps and bumps are on show. There are a few posing differences (core tight, hips popped back, squeeeezzzinnnggg), but mostly this pic is about LIGHT working its magic. When I worked in magazines, we shot at sunrise or sunset. On most sets, there were people holding SUN DIFFUSERS and REFLECTORS to help create the perfect FLATTERING balance of shadow and light. The same thing happens on SOCIAL MEDIA, just in a different form. Most insta-models know EXACTLY how to POSE and work their angles. And they know LIGHTING too. Like how SIDE LIGHT, diffused from a window, is the most flattering for abs but usually pretty harsh on the face. Itu2019s why youu2019ll often see a phone covering the face. Or how SHADOWS can gently eliminate certain LUMPS and BUMPS. All that is fine with me, honestly. Itu2019s art and photography, and there is no shame in wanting to look FIERCE. But I also want to remind you about how SO MUCH on here is FILTERED. POSED. PERFECTED. And how you shouldnu2019t EVER COMPARE YOURSELF to a STRANGER on the internet. Because cowgirl, youu2019re just seeing their snapshots taken in PERFECT LIGHT. Your reality is a whole lot more varied, diverse, and human than that. Itu2019s more perfectly imperfect. Real. Raw. And thatu2019s a wonderful thing indeed. You got this. x #instavsreality #womenirl #womenshealth #popsugarfitness #instagramvsreality #posingtips #cellulite #strengthmarks

En la otra simplemente estoy sentada en cuclillas al lado del espejo. Mis caderas y mi muslo están a la luz”, agregó la modelo, además de externar que la pose también marcó una gran diferencia entre alas fotografías.

Finalmente, en la publicación Danae reconoce que la fotografía es un gran arte y que no tiene nada de malo querer encontrar la mejor pose para lucir como se espera, sin embargo, también recordó a sus seguidores que deben estar felices con como son.
También quería recordarles como todo está lleno de filtro, posado, perfeccionado. Y cómo ustedes nunca deberían compararse a sí mismos con un extraño en el Internet. Porque vaquera, solo estás viendo sus fotos en la luz perfecta. Tu realidad es muchísimo más variada, diversa y humana que eso. Es mucho más perfectamente imperfecta. Real. Eso de hecho es maravilloso”, concluyó la periodista.

Letu2019s talk EDITING APPS. This transformation took all of two minutes. I smudged out stretchmarks and swapped my bloating for a bum, brightened my eyes and smoothed that great lil mid-forehead vein. In just 120 seconds, I became a SHINIER, GLOSSIER version of myself. And it was incredibly easy. I used to edit my photos like this. When I was recovering from my relapse, I felt delicate. Insecure. So I would use apps like these to make myself THINNER. Always, always thinner. Because in my mind, thin was perfect. And maybe if I was perfect, everything would be ok. Maybe I would be loved. So I have NO anger towards people who use these. No anger. Because Iu2019ve been there. Instead I want to stress to YOU how OFTEN it happens. How in addition to posing and lighting and outfit swaps and all the shiny things I talk about on here, thereu2019s always this lil side of technology. And I want to say that if youu2019re someone who uses these often, Who changes your body or changes your skin or changes YOU, Know you are seen. You are worthy. And you are LOVED, EXACTLY as you already are. No technology-sponsored changes required. Stay safe out there gals. Weu2019re in this together.
