Η fitness blogger που έχασε εν μια νυκτί 70.000 followers με μια ανάρτηση!

Η νεαρή Sophie Gray, είναι fitness blogger και μέχρι πρόσφατα είχε ένα μεγάλο αριθμό θαυμαστών που παρακολουθούσε στιγμές από την υγιεινή και αθλητική της ζωή στο διαδίκτυο. 

Μια ανάρτηση της όμως αρκούσε, ώστε να εξαφανίσει 70.000 followers από το λογαριασμό της στο Instagram και μάλιστα μέσα σε μια νύχτα!

Τι να ήταν όμως αυτό που έκανε τους πιστούς διαδικτυακούς της φίλους να την παρατήσουν σύξυλη και μάλιστα τόσο άμεσα;

Φαίνεται ότι η γυμνασμένη Sophie, ανέβασε μια φωτογραφία στην οποία αφού μουτζούρωσε το σώμα της, τη συνόδευσε με μια λεζάντα στην οποία δήλωνε ότι ο κόσμος δε θα έβλεπε ξανά φωτογραφίες του κορμιού της, καθώς και ότι οι κοιλιακοί ή τα αδύνατα πόδια δεν θα κάνουν κάποιον ευτυχισμένο, καθώς και ότι η πίτσα και τα μπισκότα είναι πεντανόστιμα.

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!

Από τους 430.000 followers, ο λογαριασμός της βρέθηκε να έχει 360.000. η ίδια όμως καθόλου δε μετανιώνει για αυτήν της την πράξη και δηλώνει περισσότερο ευτυχισμένη έτσι.

Όπως ανέφερε, είχε κυριευτεί από άγχος για την εικόνα του σώματος της και ήθελε συνέχεια να δείχνει τέλεια, ενώ λίγο αργότερα συνειδητοποίησε ότι και οι θαυμαστές της θα πάθαιναν το ίδιο, κοιτώντας τις φωτογραφίες της. Έτσι λοιπόν αποφάσισε να σταματήσει αυτήν τη ρότα και πλέον ανεβάζει φωτογραφίες χωρίς μακιγιάζ και από απλές, καθημερινές στιγμές της ζωής 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
