For a fun challenge, you can play Spot The Convenient Stretch Marks! if you compare this photo to the one where she's in those awful boots poolside, from just the other day.
Amazing how her totally not-edited body 'shows up' with stretch marks when it suits a client. Both photos are taken from about the same angle.
Such sketchy practices. Shameful.
She looks so thin and hourglass here. I was having a low self esteem day and this sent me down a spiral. I know I shouldn't let it but it's hard not to. I hate to admit I'm on ozempic (AND IT ISN'T WORKING THE WAY I WANT IT TO 😫) but I also eat very mindfully and I work out 3x-4x a week. I have a physically demanding job where I lift and I'm on my feet all day. I've not seen a change in my body in 6 months. I'm also 38 and have a mom pooch. I'm not horribly overweight. Size 8 at 5'1 but my body isn't what it used to be.
I am recovering from disordered eating, and while I know it's editing, it's still so hard and damaging to see. Especially from someone who has built a platform on body positivity. All she does is make me see the "flaws" in me that I didn't even know were a thing. Dark armpit. Belly button. Side Belly when laying down.
She has talked about how she doesn’t have a waist. She never has. Editing to add now that I have time: please dont let her BS get in your head. She’s full of it and knows damn well she has no waist. Watch this clip https://i.imgur.com/zKd8ANr.mp4
I do remember that! It's part of why it's so annoying lol shape shifter at her convenience
I’m so sorry she’s made you feel this way. Please don’t be ashamed you’re on ozempic and it sounds like you’re doing all the right things with diet and exercise. I bet there is a difference but you just can’t see it yourself yet. A history of disordered eating can make us see our bodies differently than they actually look. Sarah does highlight so many things I’ve never thought about either and it makes me angry because I know it changes the way some people see themselves. She isn’t helping anyone.
Thank you for the words! That's a part of why I love this community so much. I'm in therapy for body issues and I've come a long way. I know in the long term, I will be ok. I'm healthy and in decent shape. I'm strong AF too lol I'm learning to be at peace with my body and live in true neutrality. That's my goal, to just love what my body can do and how far it's going to take me. That's why she's so harmful. She sets back women like me everyday.
Don’t ever let her make you feel that way 💜 I use to let it bother me ALOT. I just think social media is sooooo toxic for women. I recently was at Costco shopping with my hubby and I saw a girl I knew from high school. Mind you I hadn’t seen her in years!! I was SHOCKED!!!! the pictures she posts online vs IRL. She was double the size if not more than what she put online. After that day I told myself I would not let social media make me feel upset about my own body and wishing I looked more like “them”. Learn to love yourself regardless of your mom pooch or not. You brought beautiful babies into this world and I’m sure you are an amazing mother
Thank you so much! I'm really working on it. I'm lucky to have my kids and I wouldn't trade them for the world. I don't even think I ever cared about my mom pooch until I started seeing it be a thing online. I just assumed it was what happened. I wasn't ashamed until I was told to be. The body "positivity" movement can be so damaging if not handled with care. That's my biggest gripe.
my ex-girlfriend had something similar, it completely stopped when she started jujitsu, she switched to wanting muscles to being skinny/having a hourglass body lol, and was infinitely happier, she was also happy with her achievements in jujitsu rather than her body, and i guess that's a lot healthier, i don't know if that can be helpful for you, i'm a man, having body issues isn't something that i can relate, but i firmly belive that sports/martial arts, something for you to achieve/have a healthy competitiveness against skill rather than genetics can help a ton in that
I'm on ozempic. Because you are working out the scale won't change as fast. That's a good thing. Around month 7-8 I started to see the hard work pay off. Hang in there.
Thank you! I hope so. Good luck on your journey as well!
I relate to all of this! I am also on GLP-1s and am a very slow responder. It’s been really difficult to see her drop sizes overnight while I’m frustrated with my own attempts to lose weight. Rationally, I know it’s not real, but the brain doesn’t always register that right away.
Yeah, I always see people losing 15-20 lbs in about 2 months, and I've lost about 5 in 4 months 🙃. I agree that rationally I know better, but it's such a weird thing the brain does to not let you see it.
this!!
That vocal fry makes it sound like she's a robot speaking into a fan lol
A bikini without boots? The hell is that?
Also who is that lady? I've never seen that face before /s
