While fitness models and their round booties are taking over Instagram, this blogger is trying to show the world that you shouldn’t believe that every Instagram photo represents real life.
Sara Puhto, a 20-year-old body-positive Finish blogger, shares expectations vs. reality pics revealing how much photo poses – a better angle or sucking your tummy in – could change in a pic. In every single one of her Instagram pictures, you can see a striking difference, making it hard to believe they’re the same girl at the same time. “Nobody’s booty looks round and peachy from all angles,” she writes. With hashtags like body confidence, be kind to yourself, and progress, not perfection, this influencer is trying to tell the world that beauty starts with self-love and those ‘perfectly fit’ pics on social media are not what our definition of ‘beauty’ should be. Keep on scrolling to check out some of Sara’s body-positive pics!

Meet Sara Puhto – a 20-year-old body-positive blogger who is trying to show the world that you shouldn’t believe everything you see online
To show just that, she took two side by side pics just seconds apart, the only difference was her posture
“Nobody has abs or a flat tummy 24/7 when they sit down,” she writes
“The other day I saw an Instagram post by a celebrity who had clearly photoshopped their body to make it look more curvy”
“The beauty industry strives off our insecurities, and only shows so few body types, please don’t let this make you hate yourself”
“Clothing sizes have the ability to make us feel bad about ourselves when we’ve gone up a size and feel good when we’ve gone down a size”
“But I’ve realized that it actually doesn’t matter at all”
“Just because someone wears a smaller size than you doesn’t make them a better person or a more beautiful person”
“Clothing size doesn’t define you”
“You are beautiful no matter what size you wear!”
“Being you and having confidence is what makes you beautiful”
“Not what some beauty magazine portrays as beautiful”

I need this. Thank you for sharing. I'm 158cm high and weighs 108lbs. I was once so plump. Don't get me wrong, plump is beautiful but in my case I didn't see it that way. I don't feel I'm beautiful. I tried so hard to trim down. I was successful! From 128lbs down to 108lbs. But each time I see my belly bulge out when I'm sitting down, I feel so alarmed. As if I have to immediately poop or vomit what I ate. I look at the mirror and I still see fat all over but my family and friends would say, you already look like a zombie. I'm so pale. I know it's wrong to feel this way,that's why I started to love myself more deeply. To stop comparing myself with others. Slowly, I know I'm feeling better and more comfortable in my own skin. My boyfriend and family are very supportive especially when it comes to eating healthy. I know I'm on my way to accepting and appreciating my body.

I have most definitely seen people whose booty is completely round and peachy from all angles. If you don't look like that, it doesn't mean you're not beautiful. (I certainly don't). But it's not like people like that don't exist. Reminds me of this one girl who shat on tinkerbel for having her feet in a certain way she thought was unrealistic and impossible. Now I can see a lot of things unrealistic about tinkerbel, but I myself naturally hold my feet like she had them in that particular picture some times. One of my friends, who lives and eats normally, gets accused of having anorexia because she's thin and shapely. Sometimes it's like people get shamed for naturally complying to certain beauty standards. Just cause you can't achieve a look doesn't mean it's unrealistic. Just stop comparing yourself to other people and be happy with how you were born.

Enough with the reveals already! We all look like potatoes when we're not posing for a pic, don't try and sell it as if it's news..

I don't know why, but internet vegans always seem desperate to me. It's like they're almost a sect.

Very interesting. Makes me wonder what percentage of what I see is a lie. Probably 75%.

Is is Lorraine. I have a friend who models and let me tell you, she looks nothing like her head shots and other photo's. Some people really do photograph better than they look and it can be the same in the opposite.

Absolutely. Please know that you are beautiful! You don't have to be perfect in every way to be beautiful! Want to know a secret? My nose? It's really big. But would a smaller nose look right on my face? Nah, it wouldn't fit my face shape. While I sometimes focus on my nose and think of it as ugly, it actually meshes well with my face. So, that being said, try to think of your insecurities as such. It's okay not to be perfect, because every little thing makes up something beautiful: you.

Allie and just what makes u so attractive? It's partly your nose! Remember Jennifer Gray from Dirty Dancing? She was so pretty but then she went and had a nose job and it took away her natural beauty. She fell out of the lime light after that.

Look, you can be vegan without flaunting it to everyone and writing it on your butt. We get it, you're vegan. You don't eat animals or their products (you're missing out on a lotta vitamins and minerals!). no need to tell everybody. Because news flash, we don't really care.
