Blogerka fitness ujawniła prawdę o zdjęciach "przed" i "po"

W sieci pełno jest zdjęć przedstawiających niesamowite metamorfozy ciała. Zdjęcia „przed” i „po” są dla wielu ogromną motywacją, innych nierzadko wpędzają w kompleksy. Jednak nie zawsze przemiany przedstawione na zdjęciach są efektem wielogodzinnej pracy na siłowni…

Blogerka fitness Jessica Pack pokazała, jak w kilka sekund można przejść taką metamorfozę. We wpisie, który robi furorę na Instagramie, obrała sobie za cel udowodnienie, jak łatwo manipulować efektami „przed” i „po”. Udostępnione przez nią zestawienie pokazuje taką właśnie przemianę.

🚨 This is not a transformation photo 🚨 This week I've decided to do the 30 second transformation photo. These pics were taken second apart this morning. On the left my posture is poor, I'm pushing my belly out as far as possible, I adjusted my bottoms to show my gross, unsightly and horrid love handles. These are often concealed by my high waisted pants and bottoms that do fit so much better now. As much as it pains me to showcase these, it also proves that my body isn't perfect and that I still have work to do and fat to lose (I'm working so hard to get rid of my love handles and lower tummy fat. Yes it has dramatically reduced already but it still exists and I'm still insecure about it). On the right I'm standing straight and comfortably. I'm lightly flexing and I've adjusted my bottoms to hide my love handles. I'm thankful for bikini bottoms that now fit well and hide these but I'm also trying to show that they still exist quite a bit and that not everything we see meets the eye here on social media. You can show you best angles and hide your flaws but at the end of the day what we chose to showcase is a reflection of ourselves. My body isn't perfect. I still have imperfections and flaws that I'm slowly learning to be comfortable with. I want to be real and honest and open. Yes I've accomplished a lot, but yes my body still has less than ideal days when it doesn't look its best. Fitness and health is not a fix. It's not a destination. It's a lifestyle. If you force your progress you know who you are cheating?! You. You only cheat you. Yes I like to show my best most of the time but I've also realized by not showing my worst that it only harms myself. Being vulnerable and imperfect is hard but lying to yourself is worse. I know I'm hard on myself, it's a flaw on its own, but I'm slowly learning to be gentle and kind but it starts with being truthful to myself and knowing and understanding my imperfections and realizing that, although they exist, they don't define me. I am not a before picture. I am not an after picture. I am not fat nor am I perfect. I'm flawed. I'm scarred. I'm insecure. But I'm learning and I'm hopeful that one day I'll fully love me 💕

Ciało Jessiki na zdjęciach wygląda, jak gdyby blogerka spędziła sporo czasu na siłowni pomiędzy zrobieniem obu z nich. Okazuje się jednak, że zdjęcia zostały zrobione w trzydziestosekundowym odstępie czasu. Spektakularny efekt przemiany to kwestia odpowiedniego oświetlenia i trzymania aparatu pod właściwym kątem, a także postawy ciała na obu zdjęciach.

Zatem jak wygląda prawdziwa metamorfoza? Autorka wpisu również ma ją za sobą. W przeciągu niecałego roku udało jej się przejść przemianę, której nie da się zarzucić jakiejkolwiek manipulacji. Efekty robią wrażenie!

Following my girl @squatting_for_donuts lead in #bbgprogresslove 💕 Her post was about the importance of progress photos. So I'm going to do the same. Did I want to ever post my before picture? NO 🙅🏼 because I was really embarrassed and not proud of my current state. For the first 12 weeks, I took a progress photo every week. I wanted to document every step of the process! I tried to always use the same outfit and lighting but it didn't always work out that way. My progress in the beginning was fairly dramatic in my stomach and now it's more in my hips. My legs on the other hand are taking their sweet time 😂 I debated between so many different pictures (because I have plenty 😅) for the last three photos. I thought these all look exactly the same! Nothing has changed! But then I thought for honesty sake, it was necessary to try to not force progress that isn't there . Am I bummed that I don't see much change between the last three photos? Yes! But I also can't help but be PROUD! I've changed so much from the beginning. Maybe my progress has slowed a lot but I have come so far!! It has taken time, energy, consistency, dedication, patience, sacrifice, and love. I love and appreciate my body so much more now for what it's capable of doing, not just for what it looks like! Take progress photos for YOU! You don't have to share them if you're too intimidated by it, but do it regardless!!! I promise you'll surprise yourself. And that reward and feeling is all you need to keep yourself moving forward. You will not change over night. You will not change every week. But every exercise and every clean meal is a step in the right direction. Change is slowwww but little changes add up to big results over time. You just need a little drive, a little love, a positive attitude, and a little motivation, so take those pictures babes! Your future self will thank you 💕
