Every January, millions of women around the world make resolutions to lose weight, tone up, look more put together or just change themselves or their body in some way.

When those resolutions don't quite work out, in fact 80 percent of people have failed at their new resolutions by February according to U.S News, we can be left pretty downhearted.

However, everyone is drop dead GORGE in their own way, so a resolution to be  more positive about ourselves could be a winner.

And with the help of these Instagrams, this resolution will be a little easier to keep.
