It turns out that taking selfies are good for you! Fuck apples! A selfie a day keeps the doctor away, or helps you with your health goals, it seems.
The University of Alicante has found out that a photo diary helps people to reach their target weight. It has been proved by science so you know it's true.
A handy app to show your weightloss journey so it's inspirational rather than just some person taking photo after photo of their abs is Progress.

It's often hard to see little changes in yourself over a long period of time - so Progress helps as it compiles all the photos so you can see your body changing in real time!

The 31 year old lost her mother and husband in quick succession and turned to comfort eating. Her weight peaked at 22.3 stone and she was clearly very unhappy.
She decided to change her direction in life and start going to the gym and exercising.
Taking a daily selfie at the gym helped her lose 124lbs and now the 5ft 10 woman is winning bikini awards.
The Californian also has almost 100,000 followers on Instagram.
Thank you, selfies.
