Instagram models before and after pictures

Most of us women look at these accounts online and eat even less and exercise even more and eventually burnout and fail. I suggest you go through these pictures and tell me whether you think these are people who will understand your struggle with body fat.
Sometimes, we require ourselves to unfollow such accounts and do what you know is right: small increments in exercise, changes in diet only when needed, focus on getting enough sleep and protein, taking adequate rest days.

The older you get, the more rest days you might require.
In my early 20's I spend 2-3 hours in the gym 6 days a week.Now,at 28 i workout 3 times a week,for sometimes 45 minutes,other times 30 minutes if my joints hurt.
Listen to your body.
