There's a model who posted pics showing herself posed and unposed, and of course it demonstrated what everyone is saying. In the posed pic, she appears to be 100% lean and sculpted. In the relaxed pic, her belly poofs out and even has a roll b/c she's bent over a bit. I'm sorry I can't remember her name--but just know those pics are out there to help combat the body image issues modern photography has helped create.4

This gave me an idea. I don't recall her name either.

Wow, hard to believe this and others are 3 sec apart.
@therosalea and @sara_zimm can you post pictures from a similar angle, holding your stomach in?

And tilting the pelvis towards the back, hands and arms on more curvy parts of legs/hips. Turning knees outwards.2 -

Your stomach looks totally normal- many women have that shaped belly! I'm pretty slim and still have that bit of 'fat' there. It won't budge but there's nothing wrong with it. If you want a flatter looking stomach then posture is the best thing- learn to stand like a ballet dancer and it tightens your midsection right up5

The model on the left is Emily Skye @emilyskyefit on Instagram. She is totally real! She posted unedited pics of her pregnancy and each day after. No makeup, no filters, every inch. She’s awesome! And great role model for an incredible work ethic as well as someone who doesn’t care that her body has changed. And her little girls is totes adorable!8 -
Oh my I wasn't expecting this many replies! So many of you are right though, my view of myself is in need of a real revamp. This really did help me a lot, thank you for such comprehensive responses30

PMSL I love that reply 😂🤣😂🤣3 -
I wore a bikini when I was 75kg. Why not? Everyone can wear what they prefer. Bikinis are not only for people with model shapes. And I bet nobody looks at you and thinks: look at that belly! Nobody looked at me when I was overweight either.3

I understand. You have a vision in your mind. You are working hard and not seeing results.
Once I understood that our body/fitness is this magic formula: 80% NUTRITION + 20% EXERCISE—my body completely changed. Add protein and nutrient-dense food into your life and watch your body transform.
I’m still on my journey....but I expect to see that bikini body by October.

Spoiler alert, you had a bikini body 6 months ago, and you have one now :drinker:13 -

You might still be on your journey - but you're killing it, lady, and I bet you would look great in a bikini as you are right now!

One thing I'm sure of: that is not fat. It could be the way your uterus is tilted.0

I feel like I could have wrote this post myself! You have a very similar body type to me, I always see myself as a 'skinny fat'. I have been trying to get rid of my last little 'bulge' for years now. I think we can all be over critical of ourselves but sometimes you've got to take a step back into reality and look at yourself through other peoples eyes. NO ONE is going to look at you in a bikini and think 'shes too fat to be wearing that', and if they did, I assure you it would be them with the problem not you! You look great! Trust me xx2
