Body-positive influencer Molly Ava took to Instagram to show the “reality” behind social media and urged her followers to take what they see online with “pinches of salt.”
Social media can often lead some people to believe that their life or body is not as good as what they see online.
“Perfect” numbers and high society lifestyles are the order of the day if you scroll through Instagram and it can definitely make many feel insecure.
But for fitness influencer Molly Ava, she took a look at the “reality” of fainting after the social media snaps.

However, Molly isn’t shy about posting body-related content and has now urged her fans to take what they see online “with a grain of salt.”
The influencer shared a side-by-side snapshot taken one minute apart to show you how to pose and how the clothes you wear can completely change your body.
On the left side, Molly pulled the black leggings up to the waist, creating a wraparound effect.
She also wore a black bralette which revealed her toned chest, Molly took this photo at 8am.
But just a minute later, the influencer’s body seemed to have a different look.
The girl lowered her sports leggings to her hips, showing her belly more relaxed than in the photo taken a minute earlier.
Molly explained: “What you see online [does not equal] what is real life like
“Remember to take everything you see online with a grain of salt, as you will most likely be shown one side of your life, your body, your story, you don’t always see the other.
“It’s okay to pick the best photo, pose, outfit, but remember not to compare yourself to that snapshot on their social media.
“Be kind to yourself.”
