I have one word for all those "pictures" that all you women like to glorify so much. Airbrushed. Real women have some curves. Don't get me wrong, I want and need to lose some weight but I'm sure as heck not going to glorify someone is some magazine when I know the photo has been touched up. Those women have their imperfections too. So I guess what I'm trying to say is be happy being who you are.
I don't see people "glorifying" these pictures (and same goes to the posters who have said we are idolizing people), they are simply using the photos to illustrate the type of body they would like to have. It's easier to say, "I'm striving to have a body similar to Kate Winslet" than it is to say, "I'm trying to have a body like my next door neighbor, Cheryl" because nobody would know who Cheryl is. Part of attaining goals is to define them. Yes, some of us might not reach our goals 100%, but visualizing where you want to end up is a big part of success for a lot of people. Yes, these women have imperfections as well, and things they don't like about themselves - I don't think anyone here doesn't know that professional photos are airbrushed and photoshopped. No one is stating they want to be a carbon copy of the photos they have selected. It's just a rough guide - in the same way a person might clip a photo out of a magazine of a decorating style they like.0 -
I like this thread for the fact that it is nice to know other people would be happy with the body that I've personally worked really long and hard to achieve... I love having an athletic body that can do great things, not just look good!! It is not possible to look like someone else, but it is possible to achieve greatness that makes other people go "yes plz"

Those are my inspiration - (I only use unphotoshopped pictures).
OMG I love all of these!!! I need to steal and post on my inspiration board. Maybe a little less abs (unrealistic for me) but damnnnnnnnn. That girl's butt in the last one? Phenomenal. Thanks for sharing the unphotoshopped pics. Of course they aren't "me" but it proves that it's possible to get here.0 -

I have a new one!
This is definitely the closest fitspo pic I have ever seen to my body type. So I think this is attainable for me. And one of the only pics I have seen where the model isn't more lean than I want to be!0
