While Instagram can be great, it's can also be a hotbed for insecurity. It's awash with diet and fitness bloggers showing off their incredible bods which, when you're eating your third chocolate chip cookie of the day, isn't exactly what you want to be seeing.

In those moments of self-consciousness, it's all too easy to forget that social media stars, with lots of followers, often carefully curate their feed to show the photos of them at their best.

However, Amie-Jane Ward, a 25-year-old blogger from Buckinghamshire, has decided to flip this norm by demonstrating just how easy it is for people on Instagram to exaggerate and manipulate their photos - all by the way they pose.

Last week, Amie-Jane shared two photos of her side-by-side. In the one on the left, she's pushed her hips forward which she says makes her look wider than she is. In the second, she's pushed her hip back to change her shape.
