Celebrated fitness influencer Georgie Stevenson has issued a grave apology on social media for previous messages she shared about detox teas and exercising after big meals.
The Queensland-based coach has close to 300,000 on Instagram and says that when she was originally posting that advice she was much younger and 'didn't know any better'.
'Here is a public apology for some of my previous content,' the 25-year-old wrote online. 'Now I look back and realise how damaging some of my content could have been to others who were on their health journey.'
Fitness blogger Georgie Stevenson (pictured left when she advocated for over-exercising and food restricting and right, now) recently took to Instagram to issue a apology to her followers
The 25-year-old admitted she went through stages of wanting to manipulate her body so change her appearance
Part of her apology included sharing a series of previous posts where she had been restricting her food and over-training.
'Example 1: when I basically told you that you need to work out if you eat food,' she said.
'Example 2: when I told you to try 'skinny tea' (we all know it just makes you poo).
'I have come to realise that having a platform comes with responsibility which is why I am so passionate about my 'health without obsession' message these days.'
Georgie says there was a time when food restriction and over-training once consumed her life
Georgie shared the email that made her want to come forward and state she had a responsibility to act ethically online
Having been on Instagram for seven years she said that her knowledge around health had changed for the better, and now she could share more appropriate information.
'I have been on Instagram for seven years and sharing my health journey the whole time. Now? I am in a place where I feel at peace with my body, mind and health,' she said.
'But previously? I went through stages of constantly wanting to manipulate my body, to change my appearance and had disordered ways of eating and training.
She added that although she understood many women, including herself, suffered from eating difficulties, she believed it was her duty to act responsibly given her social media presence.
'I know a lot of girls go through this BUT the difference is they don't have a relativity large audience following them and consuming their habits,' Georgie said.
The honesty came after a fan sent her an email about what those old posts had meant to her.
As well as sharing the email which prompted her to come forward, Georgie shared posts from 2015 and 2016 where 'food restriction and over-training consumed my life'
This post shared by the blogger reveals her love for skinny teas, something she now says she doesn't really believe is an effective way to lose weight
'So I found your Instagram a couple of years ago and followed you for a while and looked at you as "body goals",' the person wrote.
'I wasn't in a great mind space at the time and I unfollowed you for a while. Apologies, just because I couldn't personally view something I aspired to be like in a positive way (if you get what I mean).'
Georgie said reading the message from the follower had moved her to tears because of 'how true it is'.
Part of making amends with her followers meant the fitness coach didn't try to sidestep what she'd done previously in an attempt to achieve her goals
Now the fitness enthusiast, who is also a law school graduate, is making amends with her loyal fans by not apologising for her past actions.
'I am not ashamed of my past as it has made me the person I am today (who I am very proud off),' she said.
Georgie added she wanted to make a difference in people's lives by crafting a new message which offered a way to be healthy without obsession.
The health enthusiast believes these days it's better to take a balanced approach to diet and exercise
'So here is a promise to everyone on here that I will continue to grow and be conscious of the message I am putting out.
'I still have a lot of room to grow and learn but I promise to always come from a place of love and my best self.
'My mission is to make you feel inspired, empowered, passionate and GOOD, nothing less!'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
