By posting pictures of myself, I am also broadcasting the message, “It’s ok to be photographed even if you are not a model.” This may subtly influence people to post their own pictures; as a result, they will become more aware of their own image. As a result of that, they may learn to accept their unique physical traits as just that — unique traits — instead of flaws to be hidden.

Covering up freckles with make-up or arching your neck forward to stretch a double chin does not actually change your body. It simply creates a new complication on top of the old one, by way of dishonesty. Adding complexity to a system is a technique for creating, not solving, problems.

 Very well said.
