Weight Loss Motivation- Health or Beauty, The Photoshop Effect, Psychetruth Nutrition

In this free video, Corrina asks- can we really look like fashion models and move stars? She discusses different motivations for weight loss and if we want to lose weight for self esteem and body image and because we think we'll feel better about ourselves or whether we want to lose weight to improve our health and overall wellness. What is our weight loss goal? Is it healthy? Is it out of fear of what others think of us, how we think we should look? How can we really feel better about ourselves?




Most of us would like to lose weight and have a more trim, more sexy body, but being a magazine cover model isn't realistic for many reasons, including the photoshop effect and touch-ups done to nearly all photos we see in magazines and billboards. Sometimes people sacrifice their health to obtain a desired aesthetic, this may be plastic surgery, prescription or over the counter drugs, unhealthy dieting or worse.




This video also mentions the issue of eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia and the new fad of thinspirations or thinspos to inspire women (and men) to be extremely thin. The thinspo has become popular and while this video does not speak to eating disorders directly, it does point out that there are so many pro-ana and pro-ed groups out there, the obsession with thin may be going too far.

  • @OgreMECH Who says real women star in porn, I see a whole lot of fake when ever the porn starts playing,and porn won't teach you how to "work it" only practice with a consensual partner will allow one to "work it" not sitting in front of a computer screen (alone). The only thing porn teaches you is unrealistic views of body image and that objectifying bodies is ok. I think if you want to see a real woman then switch off the porn and go find yourself one.

  • u so right about paying it lateer with ur health. Great video

  • Holla! Have you thought about - fast abs magic (should be on google have a look)? Ive heard some unbelivable things about it and my GF got really defined Six pack abs and lost crazy amounts of belly fat with it.

  • Corrina, you speak the truth! The first step to getting healthy is to throw out unrealistic expectations set by the media and really start loving ourselves and rewarding and nurturing our body with proper nutrition (fruits, veggies, etc) and exercise (cardio, weight-lifting, etc). Keep up the awesome vids  -Eric
