I’ve been working with Z on goal setting of late and she’s decided that she wants to lose 23 pounds to get down to the suggested weight for her age and height. Her timing couldn’t be better when it comes to ways that I can use my truest obsession, the ‘net, to help her out. Just a couple of weeks ago a great new site called Fotofix opened its doors. They offer average folx like us the opportunity to take advantage of the very same technology that makes celebrities look so good all the damn time. No, they won’t send professional makeup artists and personal trainers to your house every day, but they will use the latest airbrush and photofinishing techniques to make your pictures look as good as you wished you looked in real life.

We’ll be uploading a picture of Z and asking them to use their digital body slimming techniques to show us what she’ll look like when she reaches her goal. This will then be a visual reminder of why she has to cut out the Halloween candy, skip the traditional kids cereals in the morning and actually leave the house to exercise on a regular basis. We’ve all seen the results of digital photo enhancement for years and have seen the techies in various movies and television shows use these techniques to accomplish amazing things. Thanks to Fotofix we can now apply these photo enhancement advances to our daily lives as well.
