Woman Goes Viral For Her Demonstration Of How Eating Affects The Way You Look In Different Outfits

Clara Guillem from Nashville, Tennessee, is 24 years old but she's already become a body confidence role model to hundreds of thousands of people. And this series of videos is the perfect reason why.

"I remember I was in the car driving somewhere and I started thinking about how people only show outfits when they feel like their stomach is flat," Guillem told Bored Panda. "I was thinking about a video I saw that said people see a flat stomach as an accessory and decided it would good to show how cute outfits are still cute after you nourish your body!"

Posing in the same clothes before and after a meal, Clara has posted numerous TiKToks celebrating her 'food babies' and has successfully proved time and time again that a full belly is a happy belly. Bon appétit!

This is so cute and I'm fine as hell, obviously, but my appearance is the least interesting thing about me. I have so many other amazing qualities, but those are suppressed when I'm hangry.

I've never been skinny enough to have this issue - but is this normal? I've never seen anyone look 4 months pregnant after a meal. Is this an actual thing that happens to some people?

Just sucking I. Her stomach and letting it out. Or photoshopped. Every picture.

As you can probably already tell, Guillem is super confident in her own body, which is quite inspiring not only on social media but in real life too. The good thing is, it's contagious. Amy Slater, an associate professor at the University of West England, Bristol, published a study in 2017 where 160 female undergraduates viewed either "fitspiration" (images that feature beautiful people doing exercises, or at least pretending to), self-compassion quotes, or a mix of both, all sourced from real accounts on Instagram. Those who viewed only "fitspiration" scored lower on self-compassion, but those who viewed the compassionate quotes (for example, "You're perfect just the way you are") were nicer to themselves – and felt better about their bodies.

If you happen to be having a hard time enjoying food, please remember that that's totally okay. Food can be so enjoyable, but ultimately, it's there to serve your body a purpose.

Photo 1- straight back shoulders. Photo 2- slouching. And is anyone else wondering why her stomach is hanging low like that? I mean, your stomach--YOUR ACTUAL STOMACH--is higher up, right under your diaphragm, not hanging low down where your intestines are. While she is trying to make us all feel good about ourselves, she is also exaggerating her 2nd photos in each one. Good posture can make anyone look slimmer, and when you slouch, the opposite. Nice try though.

This is what outfits look like on me before and after a full day of eating. And let me tell you, that was good for my body, it was good for my mind, it was good for my soul...

But it wasn't always like that. "The relationship I've had with my body used to be the absolute worst it could be," Guillem revealed to Bored Panda. "It took many years of actively trying to heal to get to this point. It doesn't happen overnight! One main thing I work on is positive self-talk and affirmations. Every time I have a negative thought, I say the opposite out loud."

Clara's advice for everyone who is also trying to become comfortable in their own skin is to be patient and kind to yourself. "The fact that you're willing to start a journey towards self-love is already the first step. It means you're ready to put in the work."

You know the drill, outfits on me before and after I eat, and I wanna let you guys know that I make these videos because a lot of people avoid eating just to prevent this, which is normal and should be celebrated. Woooo, party in my belly!

No hate, but you're slouching in the 2nd picture. Stand tall, there might be a difference.

However, Guillem highlighted that she doesn't think her content belongs under 'body positivity', just mental health and body image. "Body positivity exists to give those in marginalized bodies a voice and is a political movement. When referring to content like mine, please use the terms confidence or self-love!" she added.

Now, I love my appearance. However, I love my sense of humor more. And honestly, I'm not very funny when I'm hangry and yelling at everyone.

Her pants are worn high-waisted in 1, but in 2 she just has them closer to her hips.

I'm choosing this dress because I know I'll be able to show off my cute happy belly later. Can't get much sexier than respecting my own body!
