    One woman’s body-positive cellulite photo is going viral on Instagram. Fitness Instagrammer Tesia Kline (@tk_line09) shared a side-by-side image to her 95,000 followers last week as an important reminder of how lighting and angles can alter what we see in our social media feeds.

    The image on the left shows Tesia in a light where you can’t see any cellulite on her thighs with the text ‘My legs’ over the top. The photo on the right shows Tesia's legs in a way where you can see cellulite, captioned with ‘Also my legs’.

    “Sometimes your “body goals” may not always be what they appear to be (especially on IG). Thank you, angles and lighting for helping me see that I’m still ... FLAWESOME from every point of view!! And so are YOU. Happy Hump Day, my loves,” Tesia commented alongside the images. (Is 'flawesome' anyone else's favourite new word?!)

    Speaking to Cosmopolitan, Tesia explained that she didn’t intentionally take the photo on the right to show off her cellulite, but decided to upload it to make a point. "I wanted to share it because I feel like there are millions of women out there who are so insecure about something that is so normal," she said. "They try to 'cure' [cellulite] like it's some kind of disorder."

    Tesia also opened up about her own struggles with body image. "I was never satisfied with my body no matter how lean I got," she told Cosmopolitan. "I finally realised that my self-worth is not based on what I looked like. You don’t have to be lean and shredded to be happy or healthy. Life is way too short to worry about something so meaningless as cellulite or the negative opinions of others. It's up to us to just accept ourselves, enjoy, and live our lives to the fullest."

    We love it, Tesia!

    I think radiofrequency skin tightening treatment is a perfect method for cellulite removal, it is a non-invasive procedure, helps promote the production of more collagen, tighten skin and reduce cellulite.

    I was complaining about it today and a mum at work said even her 3 year old has some hahah! That made me kinda get over it !

    Okatko 28 Nov 2018 11:36 AM

    I’ve seen it on my kids too! But the older they get, the less obvious. I think that on their small bodies it stands out.

    everyone needs to see this article. we need to stop comparing ourselves to magazines and social media. we know it is all edited but we still compare.

    Gosh I needed to see this today. I exercise daily and watch what I eat. I still have cellulite. I must embrace. Life is short.

    Love this! So many women have cellulite - definitely not a flaw.

    Kassalee 9 Jun 2018 8:24 PM

    Cellulite is very normal - certainly not a flaw.

    Good on her! I am all for body positive posts.

    Margaret 322 29 May 2018 9:02 PM

    Sending a positive message, Tesia is a brave woman. Great article Ellie.

    Good on her for being honest! Social media these days show a different world out there with unrealistic pictures.

    jillian206 26 May 2018 8:56 AM

    So refreshing that someone post some reality on instagram!

    Meedee 26 May 2018 7:40 AM

    Yes....I think we all need to get real and photoshopping needs to stop especially in beauty ads. If the beauty brands products are so amazing then they wouldnt need to use photo shop. Lets all be real and have real expectations of ourselves and the products we buy.

    TheUglyDuckling 29 May 2018 10:25 AM

    Ohmigosh please. Seriously. It's over the top, unrealistic and unachievable. We aren't bloody dolls! We're human!

    You beauty 25 May 2018 10:30 PM

    Influencers should always show reality, no need to disguise and then show reality.

    blackkittykat 25 May 2018 9:40 PM

    I like when 'influencers' show reality instead of an augmented or misleading image. We are all human afterall. There is too much focus on people's appearance these days!!!

    Elunia 25 May 2018 9:31 PM

    I do like it when people post these realistic posts. They shouldn't be need so much publicity though, more photos/posts need to be more realistic.

    MelissaFay89 25 May 2018 9:09 PM

    Good on her
