A woman who was initially “confused” after her unedited bikini photo went viral has argued it proves women are “tired” of cultural beauty standards . US influencer and podcast host Carly Weinstein recently shared a series of snaps from a holiday to Spain in which she can be seen posing in a gold two-piece in front of the blue waters of Mallorca.
Her “hot” photos quickly went viral, with women praising her for promoting a “realistic” body image, a situation that Carly said left her grappling with “body image issues”. She’s now opened up about why she believes so many women resonated with her photos, while sharing her own “ups and downs” around how society perceives women’s bodies. “I posted a bikini photo around a week ago and it kinda went viral because of the way my body looks,” she wrote in a “So many people have been commenting things like ‘this is what a real body looks like’, or ‘I finally see a body that looks like mine!!’ “Now first of all this sent me into a SPIRAL because I didn’t even think twice about the fact that it might have looked like a ‘realistic’ body to some people, I was just vibing in my bathing suit showing my awesome view!! US influencer and podcast host Carly Weinstein said her recent bikini pic went viral – but not for the reason you may expect.

Picture: Instagram/Carly_Weinsteinpodcast, went on to explain that once the initial “shock” and “confusion” wore off, she realised the response proves women are “tired” of cultural beauty standards. “This post is not meant to be preachy because, I’m just like all of you – I absolutely do not like what I see in the mirror all the time and that is fine,” she continued. “But I want to remind you that no matter what, how you look on the outside does not and NEVER WILL determine the human being that you are. “So yes, we all want to slay on the beach, but if you wake up and aren’t feeling yourself, it’s not the end of the world!!”She went on to remind others to “give yourself grace” and reminded followers “that no one will ever remember you because of how you looked, but rather the impact that you made on others”.“You don’t need to strive for perfection, you are worthy no matter what.”“We are just SOO TIRED of filters and smoothing pictures before posting them that seeing this just felt so refreshing and real,” one said. “I feel like we’re only seeing extremes like models or really fashionable plus size. But not really in between,” another commented. As one agreed: “Happiness is realising my body is not the full picture. Every girl needs to hear this.” Others shared the reasons why they avoided taking photos, stating Carly’s post had inspired them to “take the damn picture”.“This makes me sad. I went to Jamaica, and Mexico and refused pics bc I felt so self conscious… I should’ve taken the pics, you look so hot,” one wrote.New $5k bonus proves Australia has failed Anthony Albanese’s announcement of a one-off payment for domestic violence victims leaves them an impossible choice: abuse or poverty.Footage of a pair who appear unable to keep their hands off each other has gone hugely viral, sparking calls for police to intervene.It used to be the place to be, but people have recently been fleeing this Australian city in droves.
