Imre Cecen: Das Fitnessmodel vergleicht Instagram und Realität

Wer länger als fünf Minuten auf Instagram verweilt, stolpert früher oder später über die beliebten Profile von Fitnessbloggern. "Stark ist das neue dünn", scheint das Motto vieler Accounts zu sein.
Es wimmelt nur so von Spiegel-Selfies, Workout-Videos und Food-Fotos. Jetzt überraschte eine holländische Fitness-Bloggerin, die über 270.000 Follower hat, mit schockierenden Bildvergleichen.

Instagram vs. Realität

Schon oft wurden kritische Stimmen laut, die fanden, dass auf sozialen Medien ein realitätsfernes Ideal präsentiert werde. Egal, ob es dabei um Figur, Haut oder Lifestyle geht: Es wird oft geschummelt.

Imre hat den Unterschied zwischen Schummelei und Realität jetzt auf ihrem Profil aufgedeckt. Immer wieder postet sie Bilder, die zeigen, wie falsch einige Posts auf der Plattform sein können.

‼️DIFFERENT KIND OF "KEEP IT REAL"‼️ I know some people are all done with the "keep it real" pictures so I thought I'd try a new one😅 I find this one kinda hilarious🙈chilling by the pool instagram vs real life👙 . Anyone familiar with the concept of having all "normal" legs when you're standing but as soon as you sit down they transform into huge piles of meat?🍖😂 Why is it that those 2 sticks we use to walk expand to the size of Texas whenever they touch a chair?😅 . This is the most NORMAL thing ever yet us girls seem to be so self conscious about it😔 Hello! Your legs are being pushed against a surface, they are supposed to expand! This doesn't mean you're fat🙅🏻 Even muscle will just look like a huge shapeless pile of meat when there's no flexing involved🍖 If you don't want your legs to expand maybe invest in stone legs!⛰⛏ I'd choose marble ones💁🏻😂 . We've just lost touch with reality because on the internet all we see are those freaking hot dog legs🌭 I am guilty of posting those too! Yet even I wondered on my last vacay why my legs were so "big" when I sat down. 😅 . Thought I'd take a good comparison pic and I'm pretty sure I've got a hernia now😅 Creating that thighgap & skinny legs feel was real hard😵 I had to arch my back like crazy, hold my legs up (serious ab work was involved) and had to sit on the edge of the pool which caused me to almost fall. Both my camera & I would have drowned in the sadness of insta perfection (I would survive the water though, I can swim!🙆🏻) To people who do sit like this in real life; I admire your core strenght & willpower! . Yep, that's the truth behind poolside hotdog pics. Truth be told I'd much rather sit like that right pic whilst enjoying an actual hotdog🌭 What is your fave poolside snack? Kinda wanted to hold a piece of watermelon whilst taking this but it turns out that's only for advanced instagram posing😅 I couldn't hold myself up, flex them abs, hold a watermelon & take pics at the same time😂 Guess I better start practicing for my next vacay!💁🏻 . Ps. I don't think there's anything wrong with the way my legs look in the pic on the right. Just showing you the difference! 🌭 vs 🍖 = both yummy🙆🏻

Hot-Dog-Beine und "Fleischhaufen"

So postet sie zum einen Fotos von sich in verschiedenen Posen oder mit unterschiedlicher Beleuchtung. Unter ein Bild ihrer Beine am Pool schreibt sie: "Kennt ihr das, wenn ihr eigentlich 'normale' Beine habt, aber sie, sobald ihr euch hinsetzt, zu zwei riesigen Fleischhaufen werden? Wie kann es sein, dass diese beiden Stöcker, die wir zum Laufen benutzen, plötzlich die Größe eines US-Staates haben, wenn sie einen Stuhl berühren?" Witzige Worte zu einem ernsten Thema. "Das ist die normalste Sache der Welt, trotzdem machen wir Mädels uns deswegen Gedanken."

🤰🏻👀 By now you've probably seen one of these kinda pics before but I was so amazed myself that I just had to share. Look at the difference between me coming straight out of bed and me in the evening🌝✨ . . We all know there are only 2 reasonable explanations. 1. My stomach is kinda bloated due to all the food it had to digest during the day🍝 2. I got abducted & impregnated by aliens👽 Although I'd love to see what my half alien baby would look like lets talk about option nr 1 aka bloating🤰🏻 . Although most of us instagirls seem to have a flat tummy 24/7 we really don't. Most pictures on the internet are posed and show sucked in and flexed bellies😶 Great and all but it can give you a disformed idea of reality. Cause yes, I also get affected by what I see on the internet. I have stood in front of my mirror many times wondering why I looked like I was carrying triplets whilst all other fitgirls seemed to have a flat tummy all the freaking time🤷🏻‍♀️🤔 . . We like to show our "best" sides online and that's also okay!💕 However from time to time we might need a reminder that no one walks around looking "perfect" every single second of the day. It's normal for your tummy to expand a bit during the day. I mean hello, where did you think the food you eat goes?!😅 . . Be happy that your body digests all that food cause if it didn't you wouldn't be living that much longer😵 Angrily staring at your bloated belly isn't gonna make it go away. Might even make it worse.. stress isn't good for your tummy at all🙈 . . Appreciate that your body is constantly working to keep you alive!🤗 Damn your body sounds like a good friend, right? So treat it like one! Start loving your body! Your body is not your enemy but your ally!🤝 Work with it and not against it. If you love your body no one can take that away and you'll be stronger than ever! LOVE YOURSELF!❤❤ . Ps. In case it turns out I'm actually carrying an alien baby I'll keep you up to date! What shall I name him/her?!👶🏻😂 #somanythingstotakecareof #willmybabyevermeetherdad? #gonnabeasinglemum

Ihre ermutigende Message kommt toll an, "Ich hab ehrlich gesagt noch nie jemanden gesehen, der das Thema auf Instagram anspricht. Endlich fühle ich mich sehr viel selbstbewusster! Danke!", findet eine Userin. "Das erste Fitnessmodel, das ich mag", schreibt eine andere.

Schön geschummelt
