Charlize Theron is Esquire magazine’s “Sexiest Woman Alive”… stunning Jessica Alba got voted “Sexiest Woman In The World” (by FHM)… gorgeous Beyonce topped People magazine’s “Best-dressed Celebrities” list… while lovely Jennifer Aniston tops Forbe.com’s “Top-selling Famous Faces”…
We all secretly have some kind of fascination with celebrities…
…Their good looks… their toned figures and youthful appearance… yet… are we using this as motivation to pull us towards our desired, toned body or is it pushing us further away?
There’s no doubt setting an image, a goal of the kind of body and look you’d like to get close to, can be a powerful motivator when used in a positive way.
(I’m talking about a motivation tool rather than an obsession that causes some women to overshoot their weight loss goals or develop some kind of eating disorder because they want to look like catwalk models)
This is a very interesting topic because on the one hand it can motivate you to take action, move, eat better and see your body shaping up… while, on the other hand, it can cause some to be put off thinking “it’s too hard, only celebrities and models can look so good”!
Personally, I try to select an image that inspires me… something realistic rather than perfect… and get moving, eating better and monitoring my progress.
How about you?
Where does this whole issue fit into your ‘fitness mindest’? Do you have any favorite celebrities or atheletes you consider as role models?
