Not Good For Our Psyche
- Alexis Conason thinks these images are fundamentally flawed because they come from a place of self-hatred and encourage toxic dieting culture.
- Erin Parks, a clinical psychologist, says, “There's no data to suggest that they help motivate people to lose weight in a healthy way.”
- A good rule of thumb is that the before and after images for things you can change (e.g., teeth straightening, hairstyle, painting a room) can be inspirational. Looking at things you cannot change (body build, height, etc.) might be counterproductive.
