    ....Belly button "test" is mostly about flexibility, which is why it's so dumb. And anyone healthy weight can raise their shoulders a tiny bit and make their collarbones stand out a ton. Try it. Push your shoulders up and forward about half an inch.

    It's just WEIRD what people are calling...attractive..or whatever. Either meaningless or bizarre. I guess there are people who want to checkbox themselves.

    When you were a kid, did you all try to see who could lick their own nose with their tongue? This is like a 2015 version of that.

    The boobs over bellies or whatever it was hashtag wasn't much better. I think the bellybutton one was started to get girls to show more body shots. So I won't be squeezing my tits for the pervs, either.

    (And no, I can't. ;) )

    TOTALLY AGREE.

    There was this guy (who looks alot like a friend of mine back in middle school haha I remember him because he used to always walk around holding burritos or chips to share :blush: ) who made that belly button thing AN EPIC FAIL by showing how these trends are absolute BS.

    Yes! I tried to lick my own nose with my tongue so many times! Total fail!

    I haven't tried that belly button trick but will report back on whether that is successful. Probably not because honestly I cannot even bend down and touch my toes without a hundred bones in places I didn't know exist crack, pop and bubble. :dizzy:

    HAHA! I think that someone should start an elbow-licking Instagram trend....

    I just tried (the elbow licking). Nope. No cigar. :disappointed:

    Also, does it count if I move my belly towards my hand when trying out the belly button test?

    Maybe we should start a new one. Like a positive fitness/lifestyle/health one. Not like those stupid thinspiration crap.

    I still like elbow-licking. ;)

    I honestly only have a business account. I have a personality-driven business and mostly have my staff post about that sort of stuff. When I'm on screen, which is rarely because I have to do the whole hair/makeup thing to get the "look" of my brand, it's about that. And TBH, it's a bit more "body positive at any size" than it is about health/fitness, and so it's a deliberate close up so that you can't tell my size.

    I see a lot of stuff because I interact with the fans of the brand, who are every sort of size/age/maturity level. LOL.

    It's the cost of clothing. The thighs of your jeans can only take so much abuse.

    I'll probably never have thigh gap, though. A girl can dream...

    Yes! Yes! I'm so tired of throwing away jeans because the thighs have holes on the inside!

    And arm length! I'm extremely flexible, but my arms are really short. I totally fail at the belly-button test.

    I have a thigh gap and can balance a whole roll of quarters on my clavicle...but I'm not anywhere near thin.

    I think of these sorts of trends as just teenage silliness. Nobody actually takes them seriously...do they?

    Can you touch your toe to your mouth? Can you bend your leg backward and hold it behind you?

    Teenagers can be *kitten* about anything, I think.

    I'm regretting the workout shorts I grabbed today. Too short. Chub rub still. :(

    When I get under 130lbs, they don't touch when I walk. Dresses are SO much more comfortable. But that's not really a "gap" in the crazy pro-ana sense.

    Is holding a roll of quarters under your stomach roll a thing? Because I could totally do that.

    It would be quite the anti-ana statement. :)

    Ha. I could hold a roll of quarters under it, one above it, and two under my back flab.
