We’ve all been there—opening our camera app, only to find it’s in selfie mode, and feeling the urge to toss our phone out the window. Celebrity trainer Mia Thompson recently shared a less-than-flattering photo on Instagram to emphasize that we all experience that cringe-worthy moment when an unflattering angle captures our true selves. If only our friends would stop tagging us in those awkward Facebook photos!
Mia, known for her work on popular fitness shows and training various celebrities, was recently doing a glamorous photoshoot when she stumbled upon a shocking revelation. “I was at a shoot last week with an incredible team for hair and makeup, and as I opened my camera app, I caught sight of my belly peeking out from my spandex,” she described to a lifestyle magazine.
She snapped a picture from the awkward angle, and like many of us, spiraled into a wave of self-doubt. “I thought to myself, ‘Is that really what I look like? I can’t go through with this photoshoot. I look awful!’ All those unkind thoughts started flooding in, and I felt myself going down that rabbit hole,” she admitted. It’s all too easy to feel down after seeing a bad picture. “Then I had to remind myself, ‘You’re just sitting down!’”
This is exactly why she decided to share the image with her followers. It serves as a reminder that no one appears their best when seated. This is why celebrities are often seen lounging on couches in magazine spreads. It’s rare to see a fitness expert not looking perfect at all times. Mia hesitated before posting the photo, questioning whether it would affect her credibility as a trainer. However, she concluded, “I encourage you all to be open and vulnerable, so it’s only fair I do the same.”
The post resonated with over 20,000 people on Instagram, as we’ve all been victims of that awful camera angle. “I wanted to share this moment because we all have times when we feel shame or are overly critical of ourselves for no good reason,” Mia explained. “It’s normal and just part of being human.”
So, the next time you open your camera app and feel like hiding, remember: that’s not the real you!
