Hi, Hypno-Friends!<\/p>\n

There’s an expression:\u00a0 the camera doesn’t lie.\u00a0 I maintain that, yes, it does!\u00a0 I found this video being shared on\u00a0the internet the other day.\u00a0 It shows a model’s before and after pic.\u00a0 Before, how she really looks\u00a0in her photo shoot, and after photoshop digital manipulation of the image.<\/p>\n

This video from 2012 has recently gone “viral” as they say, with millions of new views.\u00a0 A mom showed it to her daughter to make her aware that the glamour and fashion industry’s images we are bombarded with daily\u00a0are not REAL bodies.\u00a0 And she shared it on the internet.<\/p>\n

Wow.\u00a0\u00a0Longer hair, mouth enlarged, eyes enlarged, legs, arms, neck lengthened, sizes removed, butt contoured, skin color changed…I guess\u00a0the photo-shopper found\u00a0NOTHING attractive about this woman to begin with?<\/p>\n

This is part of the battle we face in weight management hypnotherapy work as well.\u00a0 So many women come in my door toting a\u00a0sense of “not good enough” and a very negative self image and inner barrage of negative\u00a0self talk.\u00a0\u00a0This originates from a skewed view of what is “beautiful” and “normal” based on, well… lies.\u00a0 Images such as this create an impossible unattainable “perfection” that no human body can meet.<\/p>\n

Part of the client weight loss work I do deals with the nitty gritty of\u00a0portions, food choice, emotional eating, motivation to exercise and so on.\u00a0 An equally important\u00a0item that needs addressing is self image, and the release of crazy unrealistic\u00a0inadequacies that may have been implanted by the fashion industry.<\/p>\n

I invite you to take a look at this video and ask yourself a question.\u00a0 Which woman do you find more appealing?\u00a0\u00a0More normal?\u00a0 The real woman, or the digital creation?\u00a0 I opt for the real woman.<\/p>\n

Warm Regards,
