Fitness Model Pioneers Sucking In

Sophie Kay is a 27 year old fitness expert who is pushing boundaries of that field by not being in great shape, which used to be the lone qualification of that job. Kay has posted several photos of herself in different lighting and from different angles in a quest to prove some photos are better than others. Naturally she is spinning this silly hobby as a watershed moment for the body acceptance movement:

“As someone who has been overweight, underweight and unfit, I used to use online ‘fitspo’ as a means to motivate myself, but it only ever led to disappointment when I always failed to look like those women I was looking at. It’s only when I realized that I can only ever be as good as my body will allow me to be that I started to love my body for what it can do and how strong it is.”

“Fitspo” means healthy and is used mostly by people with the Domino’s App. Kay’s point is that photos can be deceiving, which most of us learned in grammar school when we supposedly got caught masturbating on the bus. Why try and look good? That’s been done. Snap a few toilet selfies and move on with your day. This is me with food poisoning. Here I’m clipping my toenails. Aren’t I beautiful?
