Dear girls who have an ed/looking through thinspo right now.

Sorry to break it to you but: Nearly all of the pictures you see on Instagram, Tumblr, etc are posed a certain way and stomachs are being sucked in to have that "toned and hot" appearance to them. There's nothing wrong with a sexy toned body at all as long as you're at a healthy weight. Regarding the bodies you view on the daily mostly regarding the tumblr thinspo tag are very much underweight. Being underweight isn't healthy at all and it shouldn't be a dream goal. Being underweight can cause vitamin and mineral defiencies, hair falling out, fainting, obvious eds, heart problems, slow metabolism, and then some.

The pictures shown above are of myself, I am 5'4 and I weigh 115. The top pictures are how my body looks naturally and unposed, I got a little bit of thickness to me which is completely normal and should be accepted. Could I tone up a bit more? Of course. Are my thighs big? Darn straight. That's my natural appearance. The bottom pictures are my stomach sucked in and I'm posed a little bit. It looks like I barely eat and I look kinda toned in the stomach area which seems to be a goal for many.

See how deceiving pictures can be? There's more pictures I could post of myself to prove my point but I won't do that.

If you're trying to lose weight as long as it's for good reasons, that's absolutely okay. Good reasons being: You're overweight/obese and want to be at a healthy weight, you're suffering with health problems worsened by your weight, you're dealing with weight insecurity. Please don't be afraid to eat, your body needs those calories and carbs. Don't be afraid to eat 1200 calories and especially over that, it won't harm you or your goals. Best thing you can do is intuitive eating in my opinion.

All bodies are different. Some are more skinnier, some are more muscular, some are more curvy. And that's how reality is. Goal weights also look differently on everybody as well.
