Motivational or not?

Do you ever look at pictures of women with your dream figure to motivate yourself? That can ensure that you do not achieve your waste goal.

Opposite effect
Research has shown that people who are confronted with photos and videos of slim people do not draw inspiration from them to lose weight themselves. In fact, in many cases it even leads to weight gain.

Statement
The photos and videos make many people aware of how far away the ultimate goal is. The desire to lose weight decreases and some people even stop their diet altogether.
