Αυτή η fitness blogger έχασε 70.000 followers σε μια νύχτα κάνοντας μια μόνο ανακοίνωση

Πως μπορείς να χάσεις 70.000 followers σε μια νύχτα κάνοντας μια μόνο κίνηση;

Η fitness blogger, Sophie Gray, έχει την απάντηση.

Αρκεί να ανακοινώσεις ότι δεν θα ανεβάσεις ξανά φωτογραφία με μαγιό. Και πουφ... 70.000 followers εξαφανίζονται σε μια νύχτα.

«Δεν θα ξαναδείτε φωτογραφίες με το κορμί μου έτσι στο Instagram για αυτόν τον λόγο. Οι κοιλιακοί και τα αδύνατα πόδια δεν θα σας κάνει ευτυχισμένους. Η πίτσα και τα μπισκότα είναι πεντανόστιμα», έγραψε και αμέσως είδε τους followers της να μειώνονται από 430.000 σε 360.000.

You no longer see pictures of my body this way on @Instagram for this reason. Having a six pack and thigh gap doesn't make you happy. Pizza and cookies are fucking delicious. And I'm sick of women being told they have to be anything other than themselves to be happy. I know I was in the #fitspo industry for years, and I still want you to care for your body - but this bullshit. You guys asked for a hashtag - so if you wanted to repost this with #fuckyourfitspo and @wayofgray - that would be amazing! Let's get this out to as many people as possible!

Τώρα δηλώνει πιο ευτυχισμένη. Τότε την κυρίευε το άγχος ότι ποτέ το σώμα της δεν ήταν τέλειο. Και κάποια στιγμή συνειδητοποίησε ότι και οι followers της θα αντιμετώπιζαν το ίδιο πρόβλημα βλέποντας τις φωτογραφίες της. Έτσι αποφάσισε να σταματήσει. Τώρα ανεβάζει φωτογραφίες χωρίς μακιγιάζ και άλλες καθημερινές εικόνες από τη ζωή της.

Don't forget to smile every damn day. Life is short. Enjoy it! ❤️ www.wayofgray.com for my exact workouts!

I don’t know how to communicate this. I know there is always judgement online, but with this there will be confusion. While @WayofGray is only four years old, today marks the nine year ‘anniversary’ of what this channel is really about. @WayofGray started as a fitness page. If you have scrolled through my feed over the last year, you would have noticed a shift. The shift involves a whole lot of vulnerability, curse words and an obsession around accepting who you are. Within this evolution, I have uncovered who my work through this channel is really for. @WayofGray is for the girl, nine years ago, who touched a blade to her skin her the first time. It’s for the girl who felt as though her pain was out of her control and had to regain it through self harm. It’s for the girl who looked in the mirror and only saw what she thought she lacked. It’s for the girl who didn’t want to exist within her body and her life anymore. It’s for the girl who cried herself to sleep and carved permanent scars into her body. It’s for me. But, @WayofGray is also for you. It’s for you if you have ever, even for a split second, wanted to be someone else. It’s for you if you have ever wanted to be prettier, smarter, or more successful. It’s for you if you have ever just wanted to be less you. It’s for all of us. But, today I wanted to take a second to acknowledge the part of me that experienced that pain. So, thank you, younger @wayofgray. Thank you for having the courage you did. Thank you for choosing to keep on living, even through the pain. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Today I had breakfast, went to the farmers market, had chocolate covered almonds, lunch, and this doughnut. I also plan to work out, go to the dog park and have dinner. To some this may sound like a super average day. And it is - but to me, this is the type of day "the fitness @wayofgray" was having me miss out on. For her, there was always a photo shoot coming up. What if those chocolate covered almonds ruined the photos? What if the workout wasn't tough enough? BREAD?! I know this may sound silly. I may be called vain, or foolish or some other word to belittle my experience. Not understanding this experience doesn't mean it wasn't real for me. You may also think I'm encouraging others to be unhealthy, and that's not it either. I understand that @wayofgray's old images may have been inspiring. And, to that I say there are tons of those accounts you can follow for those images. But, I know those images were damaging for many. While I believe we all must take accountability for our experiences, it doesn't make contributing to others insecurities any easier. But, most importantly, those images made Sophie Gray feel inadequate. Everything I did revolved around those photos. I was constantly worrying about my body image because my "worth" through this channel depended on it. Again, this can make me seem vain. But, I was the one behind the account for 3 years. I saw what images performed better. I saw what people wanted to see - fitter, thinner, more defined, &perfect. This is why @wayofgray is what it is now. This is why I'm here talking about accepting the shit out of yourself. This is why I want you to fucking love yourself. Because, if you always think you have to be something to be enough, you never will be. But, if you can wrap your head around the truth that you are enough exactly as you are, freedom awaits you. Freedom from others judgement. Freedom from your food fears. Freedom from your insecurities. And freedom from needing to be someone or something other than yourself. You, exactly as you are now, are enough. PS.. quiz through my link in my bio to see how you feel about yourself! Plus free gifts! ❤️

I'm called brave for being myself, for owning my truth and sharing the real side of my life through social media. How fucking sad is that? It's sad because filtered photos are the norm when it comes to social media. It's sad because it's unique to actually celebrate yourself. It's sad because, as women, we have blindly accepted the truth that who we actually are isn't worth being seen. I am fucking over it. I am over pretending to be okay when my body get sexualized. I am over laughing at jokes that aren't funny. I am over worrying about how I look when I go out. I am over being ashamed of my body. I am over feeling like I need to put makeup, brush my hair and put myself together to be seen as socially acceptable. I am over being someone other than my fucking self. I want you to be over it, too. I want YOU to celebrate YOU. Not the person you think you should be. Not the person you pretend to be for validation. Not the person who's more widely accepted in this world. Not the person who's silencing their truth. You, I want you to be you. Because who you are is fucking awesome. #loveyourself @traceyjazminphoto

I love the tag line "just do it" because it can seriously be that simple. You can just do it - you just have to overcome your own excuses. While yes, for some there are physical limitations but I'm talking to the person who says they can't lead a healthy lifestyle because they don't have enough time. Or because they love pizza too much. Or because they hate cardio. These are all excuses - and that's okay, because we all make them... But this is a reminder that it's time to stop giving into the excuses you're making. It's time to just do it - start leading that healthy lifestyle you have always wanted to lead. You can do it. Believe in your victory. .
