It’s totally normal for your body to change throughout the day. After eating, you’ll likely experience a bit of bloating as you work to digest food. But instead of getting down about it, it’s important to remember that this happens to everyone! It even impacts those who hit the gym regularly – including fitness coach Molly Ava.
So to encourage her fans to stop beating themselves up about how they look, she posted two pictures side-by-side. The first is a mirror selfie taken by the 24-year-old first thing in the morning. At this time of day, your belly is typically empty and looks flatter as a result.
Meanwhile, the second image shows the Bournemouth lass a few hours later. While she still looks fabulous, she appears to be more bloated after going about her day. advocate Molly captioned the snaps: “Your friendly reminder that most of what you see online is simply a highlight reel, a snapshot, a moment.
“You will never see the whole photo of someone’s life, body, feelings, so don’t compare yourself to the tiny sliver that we get of someone else, the one they CHOOSE to share. You are wonderful, worthy and beautiful!!!!!!! Don’t forget it sis.” Since being posted a few days ago, the photos have garnered 11,800 likes and plenty of positive comments.
Many thanked Molly for being so "real" with what she shares online. One wrote: "I absolutely love your posts. They help me so much with how I feel about my body! Thank you!" Another said: "Thanks, lovely, for sharin.
