Really??

Do you like your chin? I don't know about you but of all the parts of my body I might want to change it isn't my chin. Yet, a new procedure to give people a "stronger" chin is becoming popular especially amongst business people. Apparently a strong chin gives you  more authority.
Next news story.... women who are being fed by a tube so they can lose weight before their wedding. The doctor who is offering this procedure said, "Some people want to be perfect. I am helping them to be that." Perfect? Our culture is obsessed with a standard that is not possible, very relative and just plain stupid.

Then a commercial for Chico's (I love their clothes) but they are advertising slimming jeans. That's okay but the model sporting them is a size 0! Why would a size 0 need or worse...want to look slimmer?

Is it any wonder it's difficult for people to look in the mirror and love their reflection? When did our society get so obsessed with our bodies and an unobtainable need for perfection? Was it with the age of TV? Commercials? 

"They" started it.... let's you and I help end it. Don't buy into an artificial idea of how we should look. The work is to love ourselves, right now.
