Health Blogger Reveals The Reality Behind Instagram Pics (30 New Pics)
170Kviews
The 'Instagram vs. Reality' battle continues, and blogger Sara Puhto is back to fight for the latter. She continues sharing side-by-side pics that reveal how much a certain angle or sucking in your belly can change the way you look in an Instagram photo. Sometimes the difference in her uploads is so striking, it's hard to believe they’re the same girl.
"I'm sure we've all had that feeling where you're feeling cute at the beach but then you sit down and all of a sudden feel insecure and don't know how to sit without ... feeling ... too exposed," she wrote. "Nobody is judging you and even if someone was then that's a reflection of their inner insecurities, not yours."
With hashtags like body confidence, be kind to yourself, and progress, not perfection, Sara is telling the world that beauty starts within.

However, people are revealing quite a lot with their photo manipulations posted on Instagram. Even if they're trying to conceal things. Including depression.
Andrew G. Reece and Christopher M. Danforth examined Instagram data from 166 individuals, as well as asking whether or not they had a diagnosis of clinical depression from a mental health professional. Then, they applied machine learning tools to identify markers of depression. The researchers examined 43,950 participant Instagram photos using color analysis, metadata components, and algorithmic face detection.
The results conclude that photos posted by depressed people were bluer, grayer, and darker. Also, these folks were less likely to use filters. However, when they did use photo editing tools, their most popular filter choice was Inkwell, which makes everything black and white. Interestingly, when the machine gave a depression marker, it was right about 54 percent of the time. For comparison, unassisted primary physicians correctly make a depression diagnosis about 42 percent of the time.
There's a big difference. I always wear high-waisted - hides a lot...
yep. that is how the belly works. Its skin. Loose skin, for a reason.
Note: this post originally had 78 images. It’s been shortened to the top 30 images based on user votes.
I think I got the concept at the first picture. Do we need 78 of these?
I scrolled all the way here (and it was a loooong way) to say, "One would have sufficed; unless you're in the ogling business".
My thoughts exactly. Also, I do not really care about seeing someone's naked butt x_x Come on boredpandastaff, do some editing or sth
So, just suck in your gut, then release your gut, repeat 40 million times and you got yourself a Bored Panda post!
Yep, but there's definitely some Photoshopping going on in at least a few of those photos, as well. The tummy has to go somewhere when you suck it in, but on a couple of shots the whole torso just becomes magically tiny by comparison.
meh, 99% of any digital photography is photoshop, if you take into account that they use the RAW format instead of JPG/PNG...and everyone in photography business mostly uses RAW.
I seriously doubt she repeated any action whatsoever 40 million times. I bet she didn't even do it 40 thousand times.
I am pretty sure most "normal" people knew this anyway.
Unfortunately not, public image lead to a lot of eating and self image disorders. To be perfect people, destroy themselves.
you are obviously a man. congrats.
Got the point on the first couple of photos...
Ok, does it really need 78 examples of the exact same thing (sucked in/ released tummy) to prove a point? WE GET IT
Not hating on her, she looks fab either way , but some of those bikini's she had on looked like rags.
There are some salty posts here.... As a mom of a 12yo, THANK YOU. Yes. We need 78 of these. We need 780 of these. These need to be hung up in every school bathroom everywhere. Kids SAY they know it's fake and blah blah, but this is a powerful post to support understanding and conversation. Show this to your daughters AND your sons. Have some real talk about how they feel when they look in the mirror. And for the salty post people... congratulations on missing her point. She's trying to do some good in the world and you have to take the time to stop and bitch about it.
How does this same exact story end up highlighted on BP ever other month?
Why are idiots surprised that people pose for photos?
How many times have we seen this same old article but just with different faces ? We get it ! Instagram is full of phoney people.
BoredPanda, did we really need 78 Instagram images to get a point across? The post could have been some much more interesting and powerful if a short article detailing how social media and societal norms can affect body image.
I didn't like a single one of her bikinis/outfits
pretty sure she's not dressing for YOU...
And I have all the right to have an OPINION since she posts them publicly.
Chill out, feminazi. Ever heard of free speech?
Btw, her tattoos are gross, too, as it usually happens with tattoos.
Of course you are downvoted. You had an opinion that runs counter to the BP mob. Careful.
she still is really pretty to me fat or cubby people are the best kind of people. They are nicer
Ugh SO tired of seeing skinny I hate skinny I'm skinny and underweight and I HATE it Yeah, yeah I like bein a lil smol and short but not a skeleton!
I am a soldier, in video games that is... Just like you are an Instagram model or whatever you are trying to be!
So thin, so beautiful. FYI I’m talking about the 2nd pic
WHY DO YOU KEEP POSTING THESE ARTICLES WHHHHHHHHHY?!?! Same shit over and over and over and over.
In other words- your grandma is right. Straighten that back!
This whole Instagram reality stuff has become another Instagram thing. She's just doing the same old business with extra steps
What is it with the thong look? If it isn’t cut that way, don’t do it, looks blinking uncomfortable.
Editing her posts is actually sending a negative message, she should just post the real ones and not worry about trying to look like celebrities who also might photoshop occasionally anyway
So, social media causes or merely exacerbates mental illness?
Doesn't change the fact that she's still skinny and beautiful lmao
"Insta-models" are liars, and the teens follows this sh... "Oh why can't be I so skinny?" >>> way to eating disorders.
I had a girlfriend in my 20s who was 95lbs at 19 and thought she always had to go to the gym. She was toned 24/7, this girl taking all the vapid selfies is someone who used to be skinny but ha never gone to the gym.
This is funny broo that totally me not even lying
HAHA I just realized this girl is calling her self a "Health Blogger". SHES Not qualified to give health advice
