1/16 1. Clothes. It’s amazing what a flattering outfit can do. Check out the difference between too-small shorts vs. the stretched out, haven’t-been-washed-in-five-wears jeans. Also, the angry before face doesn't hurt. Pure sass right there.

2/16 I can’t believe I posted this next one on the Internet, so please be nice. The first bikini just doesn't fit. My sultry Victoria’s Secret smolder doesn't detract from the weird shape this suit has me squished into. The second bathing suit fits and flatters. TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY, BITCHES! Am I InstaFamous yet?!

4/16 Okay, onto the clothed before/afters. In the “after” pic, I’m wearing one of those compression tanks that squishes your fat in, so when you take it off your stomach explodes out like a can of Pillsbury biscuits. There isn't a huge difference between the front views…

5/16 But check out that back view! The second pic is a hell of a lot smoother. Transformation Tuesday, my ass (get it? because this picture is of my ass?).

6/16 Oohhh, and let’s talk about pant rise (<< a sentence I never thought I’d say with enthusiasm). I prefer nice high-waisted bottoms because this isn’t 2001 and low-rise jeans so aren't the business because who wants to check if your labia is showing every 10 seconds? But, in the before picture, I have my shorts pulled down so my hips (my largest part) are showing. In the after picture, the shorts are pulled up to my waist — my smallest part — making me look much slimmer! For the record, I’m also sucking in like my life depends on it.

9/16 3. Posture. I think this one speaks for itself. STAND UP TALL! BOOBS OUT! STOMACH TUCKED! ASS POPPED! CHIN…Ugh, this whole standing up thing is fucking exhausting.

11/16 4. Filters. Black & white is always the safest choice. 5. Time of Day. An optimal Transformation Tuesday pic is taken first thing in the morning, pre-breakfast, post-pee. Duh. No pictures, but trust me: my morning bod looks vastly different than my 9pm bod.

12/16 6. Lighting. Natural lighting is your friend, people. Or, when in doubt, just turn all the lights off. There clearly isn’t a size difference between the two pictures, but the before pic screams: jaundice! sick! I’m living in a house with no lights and I’ve probably never been outside ever! The after picture is more like: health! natural! I like to go hiking in just a sports bra!

13/16 Ah yes, another bathroom selfie. The left pic is pretty regular, but the lack of light in the one on the right totally makes it look like I have ab definition. Lololol. That’s a good joke, Dark Bathroom.

14/16 7. Angles. Any good Instagrammer knows how to work her angles. You can angle your phone, your body, or your mirror. Bonus points for all three! The first pic was taken in a wall-hanging mirror. Then I took the mirror off the wall, angled that bitch, and snapped the second pic. I look taller and leaner. Fuck your long and lean pilates muscles, I have a tilted mirror.

15/16 8. Skinny Apps. AKA the Kim Kardashian diet plan. Yeah, there are actual phone apps that will skinny-fy your photos. But beware! They usually leave sneaky clues behind and people figure out that you skinny-apped your pic and they get pissed. Check it out! Instant plastic surgery!

Warning: Some bad language.
Blogger, CarlyJG is sick of seeing Transformation Tuesday photos. She says: "It’s the one day of the week where Instagrammers can unapologetically flaunt their body transformation as an inspirational side-by-side before & after pic, usually with a motivational caption (“If I can do it, anybody can!”) and a staggering number of hashtags (#fitspo #fitspiration #strong #healthy #eatclean #weightlossjourney #ididit #fattofit #progress)."
See her posts she has done showing ways people can tricked on Instagram.
She also said she's sick of seeing manipulated photos under this tag. And wanted to prove a point on how easy it is to manipulate photos with a few simple steps and tricks.
All her photos were taken within a 24 hour period of each other.
Her point? "Don’t compare yourself to an Instagram picture. You really shouldn’t compare yourself to anyone ever, but especially not over social media. I am not trying to invalidate the hard work that anybody put in for their own transformation. I just want to remind you to be aware that a lot of the stuff out there in social media land is bullshit. You’re awesome and you shouldn’t be made to feel inferior."
Does she have a point? Or is she just being whiney!?
