30 Relatable Comics About Everyday Problems Of Girls By Cassey Ho, A Fitness Blogger (New Pics)
The festive season is coming, and we all know what that means: we're going to stuff ourselves with food so much that by the time the New Year comes, we're going to swear that we'll exercise and live a healthy lifestyle. And then, by the time April comes, we'll lose all motivation, drop those dumbbells, and forget about them until the new festive season comes. And so the cycle will continue.
But that doesn't mean we all should give up trying to stay fit, and Cassey Ho is here to help us out. First of all, despite being a fitness trainer, blogger, and an active person in general, she struggles with the same stuff that we all do. That's a big relief. She's also very encouraging, as she's not a genetic freak, or a pro athlete, and most can relate with her. Second, she shares a lot of the stuff that goes on with her healthy lifestyle, in the gym, etc., and seeing such a training-heavy comic revives one's enthusiasm to start exercising again. The energy and the enthusiasm just come off so matter-of-factly and simply that it makes one think that achieving a fit body isn't as hard as one initially thought.

Pft, you ARE beautiful, don’t put yourself down because of unreasonable changing beauty standards.

I was going to vote for 1400-1700 but changed my mind when I read what was in style for 2021.
It's the second part of her ongoing comic series here on Bored Panda. If you want to see the previous part, you may find it here.
It's worth talking a little bit about the author of the comic, Cassey Ho Vinh. She's a successful American social media entrepreneur, and a founder of blogilates, a fitness apparel company that's taking off. She also writes blog posts, raising awareness for various fitness issues, and is the creator of a well-known pilates program called POP Pilates. Four years ago, Cassey was listed in Time's "25 Most Influential People on the Internet," and won a SHORTY award. In other words, she has real authority in the virtual space, and she uses that power for good.
What if it's a crumple-horned snorkack? Would you be the zookeeper then?
Load More Replies...I’m normally the zookeeper when it comes to “creepy” animals but with spiders I’m the screamer
That is the best picture I have ever seen to describe the way I act around any insect (even butterflies and ladybugs!). The tears, the corner, the nail biting! I’m a screamer
Don't bring things you KNOW you can't resist, into your house. Simple. Nobody can quit smoking with a pack in their pocket, and it's unreasonable to put yourself through the extra hardship. Either commit to buying and consuming your treat to let yourself enjoy it free of guilt or remorse, or commit to abstaining from it for the day. Discipline is self-reinforcing. Trying to 'manage' your use just robs your consumption moment of the joy the treat once brought you, and destroys your selfconfidence by undermining your selfcontrol.
It's obvious that Cassey loves working out, but pilates is easily one her favorite types of exercise. Pilates is where strength meets flexibility, and you have to work out in highly-focused movements, all while listening to some kick-ass music. In other words, it's quite fun, and it's designed for everybody. When somebody mentions pilates, sometimes it is met with a skeptical look, especially from manly macho men, but once they get in there, they're usually in a world of trouble, and leave the mat exhausted. In terms of workouts, pilates is as legit as they come.
Dora is too damn creepy. Specially when she asks something then stares at you for a full 3 seconds.

Load More Replies...Do research into bobs before getting one! And maybe aim asymmetric or shaped bangs or layers! Trust me! Youll always pull a cute bob if you know your face, your hair, and bobs!
The gy in the background of the second picture looks like he's throwing up his spaghetti
Becoming fit is one thing, but staying fit is quite a challenge. Everybody knows that motivation dips with time, and if you take a break from exercise, it's hard to bounce back on the track. Here are a few tips that might help you stay on the path to a healthy life. First and foremost, set a goal, know what you're working for and what you want to achieve with training. This will definitely help you stay motivated, even in the darkest moments. Second, keep your expectations realistic, and try to set a goal that challenges you, without being so hard that you'll drop it, but also without being too easy for you to actually transform your body for the better. Last but not least, remember that consistency trumps high scores and peaks: you don't have to perform at 100 percent all the time, you don't even have start with long workouts; what's important is you should divide your exercises into bite-size pieces that you can "swallow"— nothing kills motivation faster than an inappropriate pace in your routine, and your body will subconsciously avoid high-stress activities.
Don't forget the comments about their before bodies: the guy has a dad bod - so inviting and comfy! - and the girl is just fat and doesn't take care of herself. Aghh!!!
This is so accurate, us women have no support, we dont have body image issues! Being skinny makes up feel like a new person, all body shapes are perfect! If men are encourage we should be too. Men can have body image issues too!
wtf, saying a woman doesnt have support is like saying a chicken has teeth. mate ask a man around if he get support/compliment for what he do, he'll be able to count them on his hands. Women are so damn praised everyday they forget the reality of life that's crazy
Load More Replies...I do not know why people shame women for getting fit and healthy and shame them for being on the larger side and assuming they are lazy... It is very strange.
I have never heard of someone doing this to a woman because they lost weight If someone did im sorry but I haven’t seen, heard, or had it happen to me
I had multiple people telling me to "eat a burger". I got healthy and toned, but my weight didn't change. A friend was all over Facebook about her diet around the same time and got loads of compliments for her progress. I didn't advertise and I got nothing but negatives. I still look the same after 8 years and she gained all that weight back. It happens because some people crave the feedback.
Load More Replies...its always too fat or too skinny just shut up people it doesn't matter
same i love long hair but now and again i will want short hair but then i get jerked into reality
Unfortunately for me, I have to keep it short due to a childhood neck injury.
I had a bob and thought to my self "hey I should grow out my hair" and a month later I got a pixie cut
This is why i invest in good clip in hair extensions. So my hair can change like my mood 😩
Up for more comics? Bored Panda has lots of them to offer, and here are just a few most recent ones. Lainey Molnar talks about everyday girl issues from her own perspective. But everyday life is a universal topic, and there are many relatable things that we all share, so here are some comics that talk about these common things we experience. People are more aware of physical health and physical fitness than they are of mental health and mental fitness. These two comics talk about it in their own unique way, one from the depression and anxiety angle, and in another comic, the author talks about their ADHD.
My idea of a fun night with friends is painting nails while watching the Phantom of the Opera.
I'm in my 20's and would much, much rather watch the bake off with a cup of tea than go out drinking
Hitting 30s was the best thing ever hsppened in my social life. So much better now!
Load More Replies...yeah..btw i love her song "build a bitch" did you listin to it?
Load More Replies...maybe its copyright issues and maybe their first language isn't english
Load More Replies...I think a lot of those celebrities that have thick luscious long hair use extensions.
If you dont like extensions, try doing two ponies on each side on top of one another and then tying them together with a pony tolder. add a bit of teasing and smoothing. And mwah! Beautiful full "smooth" ponies! I should just make a hair hacks channel shouldn't I?
It's called Monsters Inc. Get it right. *disney sorta-superfan*
I always ignore unknown numbers, that was until my crush called me one day
If you always ignore them, how did you know they called?
Load More Replies...I always answer in Spanish and French, if I answer at all. It's funny how quick most people hang up when they think you don't speak English
I might start doing it as well! Maybe they freak out calling abroad
Load More Replies...Police and health care workers usually call with unknown number too though. But they always send a letter/come by (depending on the matter) if you don't answer.
They usally leave a message so I should be ok, thanks though
Load More Replies...i have red glasses, its made of the blood of my enemys!
Load More Replies...My glasses are short sided prescription so they make my eyes look small 😂
Or any kid who has been conditioned to wake up at 6 for school. I woke up at 6 from the first day of 3rd grade until the summer before 6th because of it
Load More Replies...Psh, all moms are superhumans!! (unless you have a garbage mom. In that case, *virtual hugs*)
Load More Replies...I was up before alarm this morning... you guessed right - it was super nervous yesterday.
i'm the one that woke up like 30 minutes before the alarm so I stopped using an alarm.
Or waking up 1 minute before, and waiting for it to go off is torture
Load More Replies...Uh...y'all know that if you get out of bed at the first alarm, it's easier?
thursday is my fav makup wise but top wise FRIDAY ALL THE WAY i need that shirt
Gahh! Just think of all the farts that have been filtered and trapped in those pants.
I realised I grew up when i stopped talking with my friends about clothes and started talking about the best vacuum and washing machine
Yeah. Last week, we had a small reunion with my high school friends and it ended up with sharing tips how to get rid of different food stains from clothes.
Load More Replies...Buy suit which fits you nicely , don't follow a random model who lives to look good & have team of people make her look that good.
Yes, eat cake everyday because its always someone's birthday! also i'm just going to assume you also deserve it for yourself, BUT STILL
I don’t see a slice cut out of that cake… bro can I have some of that infinite cake???
My friend said she was gonna bring a cake to school I asked her why and she said ‘why not?’ Solid logic
I’ve honestly never thought of a woman wearing a hijab and Minnie ears at the same time before🤔, and honestly I think it’s adorable 😄😄
The one on the right is me now and I’m not even an adult yet
Hijab is a choice and definitely allowed to go places alone, especially in her 20s-30s
Load More Replies...Remember: Instagram is fake. Do not fall for their tricks. You are better than this.
Used to love real roughing it camping and still love the outdoors. Now I prefer a cabin with a hot tub, queen size bed and a fireplace.
And that’s good….everyone doesn’t start form 1-100 it takes time and dedication
never compare to people whose job it is to take care of their image (and cheat about it) 24/7
That's utterly stupid to do that. What we see on TV, magazine covers, etc. are just almost perfected constructions. A heap of money is burned to create that one perfect image on the magazine cover, or the amazing shot in a movie. Also, it's heavily edited so it's very, very far from reality. There are no big fans which blow away your silky smooth hair in reality. In short, reality sucks!
Load More Replies...I got my hair cut down to the bottom of my ears when I was younger. A favorite pastime was to shake my hair out from behind my ears and start scolding my brother for not doing schoolwork XD.
Load More Replies...Yep. I think my wife would agree. She's usually wrapped in a blanket unless she has a hot flash. I knew something was up when my threw all but one of the 3 or 4 blankets off her during the night.
Load More Replies...If you really believe that stuff on Instagram is real, you are dumb!
If everyone tells you, it's normal, one day you gonna believe it...
Load More Replies...They also do not have real people schedules or responsibilities. They can spend all day with personal trainers while their kids are cared for by nannies and they have personal shoppers and chefs and house cleaners, and dog walkers, etc..
J Lo is filthy rich so she has access to the best personal trainers, dietary coaches, nutritionists, and a little thing called a publicity team to edit her post-gym photos to maker her look like she stepped out of the hairdresser rather than the gym. Personally, I would rather look like I just did a badass cross-fit workout.
But Cassy (the woman who the comics are about) does Pilates and all sorts of fitness stuff. She is amazing. If you haven't check out her pilates videos Blogilates. And she has created the cutest line of workout clothes Popflex Active
*Accidentally swings the dumbbell into the wall and has to pay lots of money to get it fixed*
So amazing! It's a countertop convection oven, what's not to love?
Load More Replies...What if I just swallow it whole, like a snake? Or if I microwave it (to the consistency of a milkshake), then drink it?
I just scoop it up with my lips and let it melt in my mouth, is that normal
I’m the licker because I get teeth freezes super easily (never get brain freezes, though)
Put deoderant or cream-to-powder between your thighs. It helps prevent rubbing ^-^
same...when im at school it just rubs and I cant do anything about it!!!!!!!!
Omg I often refer to myself as a potato person... This is so me. Hahahaha
Yup. Thats why i always work out to be strong now. Spent too much time on hating my body.
I stopped lugging every bag up the stairs. Not because I can't handle the weight, but because the bags are all paper now here in Oregon and thus never have reliable handles.
The day after, you are weak and insensitive. The day after the day after, your entire body is made of pain.
Dude… might just be a good idea to, not comment.
Load More Replies...Good way to get stabbed in my house. Probably by me. Taste the food before adding anything.

Load More Replies...Rice is filling, thus a person would not eat more at a buffet if they fill up on rice. Wasting money, in other words.
Load More Replies...Quality over quantity is the way to go! Though I do occasionally like to splurge with a trip to Chang's Mongolian Grill...
Publix is the best grocery store, and I have beef with Trader Joe’s because the customers take up all the parking spaces near the book store I go to
Well I mean you kinda caused the second image……but after you say that just say “congrats on your new job, I just came to say that bye bye now”…..it works for me
Answer : the overtalker. You don't go to the gym to talk, you go there to work out and people are just an uneventful moving mess around you.
Well... I am definitely a one-word responder, and most of my friends are over-talkers, and we get along, usually because they will just talk for just 5 min straight and I just go 'hmm' 'yeah' 'I can see that'. It is better than awkward silence.
ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US O
Load More Replies...I have a friend who does it with a washable marker. She says it's much cheaper and easier. I on the other hand do not wear makeup.
I never understood the struggle until I myself started wearing eyeliner. They are never even XD.
Or it just means it is the style you chose because that's what you like and that's okay?
Im too lazy to do a ponytail, I find the roll it all up and sick a pencil thru it to be so much easier and so much less pully.
Option 5: Hair a little too greasy, not enough to be washed. (especially with dark hair and classic powder dry shampoo)
A lot of times on the model they adjust it a lot so that it looks better
Real life is not a photo shooting that was staged and edited by professional for four hours.
I have a really short cycle which means sometimes I can have TWO periods in one month…and I’m estimated to have one on my birthday ughhhhh
Unless you give a good reason for being late, I'll be gone after 15 minutes.
You're gonna need to add any Pommes type. As in you're lavish.
Load More Replies...B for sure…even in the Florida summer heat I feel exposed without it
I am thinking of getting curtain bangs, but if I do, I will be getting a fast-heating curling iron.
Type B, with Type A undercurrents. [translation: type b, but i freak out all the time about schedules]
The 5 mins later looks really good though! Honestly looks like what my hair is like all the time but a little bit toned down
Hey, me too! (Also if that doesn’t work I use a knife)
Load More Replies...Pretty much every woman with gorgeous hair she used to compare herself with (Beyonce, Ariana Grande, J.Lo...) wears/wore wigs. Just saying... Not everything we see is true... That being said, I admit I'm the first one to complain about my hair and envy those who have thick, healthy, luscious hair 😥
I agree. Almost everything you see on social media is just a lie, because it gets people riled up and jealous, leading to more things being posted on social media . . . etc.
Load More Replies...The srt is fine, but this really adds nothing to the over-used 'struggles of women' genre (AKA 'daily life of average woman who worries too much about social media') Even when they are mocking about obession with body image and media, they are still echoing and fuelling the importance of those obsessions. Hardly anything in this type of cartoon is worthy of the description struggle - these are inconveniences of young, healthy people in the first world, who are not below the poverty line. It all seems very self-obsessed.
