Empower Me Photo

So the good news is that you’ve somehow discovered the concept of an empowering photo. Or maybe you’ve simply stumbled across this post without any knowledge of what I am talking about. That’s OK too; because this article will highlight what an empowering photo is and some of the distinctions between the 2 leading providers for consumers today.

So exactly what is an empowering photo? Well, just like it sounds it is an image that is designed to empower you (in other words: excite, motivate, inspire) to stay on your diet or exercise program over the long run. It is based on the concept of goal achievement and it leverages the core principles of virtually every self help course on the market. That is, to know what you want to accomplish (have a vision) and to keep that vision at the center of your attention.

Let’s say you want to lose weight or achieve an ideal body image. Perhaps you want to lose 20, 30, 50 or even 100 pounds or more. You see yourself as you look today and the prospect of dramatic weight loss is a real inhibitor to your successful weight loss journey. You are motivated to get started on your diet or exercise program yet the challenges are real and quickly you are tempted to fall back into your same old comfortable rut. But what if you thought of yourself as how you were going to look AFTER you lost the weight? What if you had a photo of you looking slim and healthy? Well that is exactly what an empowering photo is.

Companies like Empower Me Photo and Weight View offer consumers the opportunity to email or upload your photo and they will revise your photo to show you looking slim and healthy. The photo, as mentioned earlier, is designed to excite, inspire and motivate you to stay on your program over the long run.

Weight View recently charged $9.95 for a single image that they send you electronically – typically within a couple of days. You get to open your computer and see yourself as how you are going to look once you lose the weight. It is very exciting.

Empower Me Photo has a slightly different approach. You see, as the website details Empower Me Photo wants to provide you a tool to help you stay on your program. This is not just an electronic image that you view on your computer. These tools are specifically designed to meet your daily needs. You see, we all experience triggers everyday (sometimes by the hundreds or even thousands) and these triggers are typically negative ones which encourage us to slouch off, eat poorly and gain more weight. The tools from Empower Me Photo are designed to counter these negative triggers by acting as positive triggers. Triggers that remind you of your goal in a life like photo-revision that gives you the confidence, certainty and courage to make the small changes necessary in your life – to help you achieve your goal.

The tools offered by Empower Me Photo include:
Wallet Card….laminated and credit card sized, it will motivate you every time you open your wallet – like when you are about to buy some heavy drink or fast food that you know you should avoid.
Fridge Magnetic….sleek, elegant and very powerful, it will inspire you to not go to the refrigerator so much and perhaps to even stock your fridge with healthier food choices.
Sticky Back Photo….designed to place wherever you please, like your workstation or the inside cover of your Workout Binder – it will give you inspiration to avoid unnecessary snacking or motivate you to work harder at the gym.

Either way you go, as you see yourself slim you are going to be empowered to make changes in your life. Successful weight loss is not about massive, rapid change; it is about small, incremental changes that compound over time. You didn’t get over weight over night and you are not going to get slim and healthy over night. Grab a compelling vision of your future self,/a.. And Let The Vision Empower You!
