Google Street view for weight loss motivation?

I love a good weight loss success story. And here is a little different than the standard....

As Bob Mewse, at the age of 56, a picture of yourself page via Google Street view in November last year to saw, he was in as the form he looked stunned. He commented

I had thought about it to lose weight for some time, but after I the image, I knew that I had to actually do something about it. I was in such bad condition that I was able to go and speak at the same time.

So, after the image displayed, he dramatically changed his diet of cakes, potato chips, cookies and takeaway food healthier foods such as salads, fruit, vegetables fibrous and protein-rich foods. Also three days a week, he began to work.

This is what Mr Mewse looks like now...

He went from a morbidly obese 21st 3Ib on amazing 14 stone of this lifestyle changes.

Isn't a wonderful result?

Mr Mewse adds

If I can do this, can someone — I'm just an ordinary guy. I feel much healthier now.

I often recommend that clients focus on a picture of yourself, if you were thinner to help motivate their weight loss efforts. There are also sites this idea, where you can create a virtual thin version of you.

See a picture of your body to its ideal weight is a powerful motivator. But as Mr Mewse has shown the opposite can also true.

So, if you have a goal to lose weight, which is more for Sie--a thin image, motivation or look at your worst?

Typically, a distorted picture of the body on skinny people who think you are fat is discussed.

A new study shows however that this the other way, works how many obese women see themselves as not overweight.

The University of Texas Medical Branch respondents 2200 women aged between 18 and 25 dieting habits, their way of life and sense of self. About 25% of women were obese, classified, perceived themselves as normal BMI.

Researchers say that this is alarming because if women see themselves as having a problem you're unlikely to eat healthy and exercise. Women are not alone in this area, like other new studies found that obese men see also often themselves as normal.
