Happy Love Your Body Day! I Got You This Ham.
Today is Love Your Body Day 2006:
Boldface theirs, but it is also in my heart.
Okay. Okay, it is a made-up holiday, but it is like someone was listening. Hell, yes, and a high-five to NOW.
"Hollywood and the fashion, cosmetics and diet industries work hard to make each of us believe that our bodies are unacceptable and need constant improvement. Print ads and television commercials reduce us to body parts — lips, legs, breasts — airbrushed and touched up to meet impossible standards. TV shows tell women and teenage girls that cosmetic surgery is good for self-esteem. Is it any wonder that 80% of U.S. women are dissatisfied with their appearance?
Women and girls spend billions of dollars every year on cosmetics, fashion, magazines and diet aids. These industries can't use negative images to sell their products without our assistance.
Together, we can fight back."

Oh! Why didn't I find that out this morning, before all the hating? Maybe the evening can still be salvaged. Hooray for body...?
How come we can't have a Love Your Body month?
Just sayin'. We'd still have 11 left over to hate ourselves.
So what's with the ham obsession?
What ham obsession?
There's ham mentioned in the last two titles... is it subconscious? 'Cuz it's making me want to stop by Honeybaked and pick up pre-holiday ham. Or maybe a halloween ham... yeah, I'll carve it to look like a pumpkin! ;-)
I think Fridays should be " Feel good Friday!" and you celebrate by waking up happy and do only the things that will bring you happiness. Okay a little silly, yes, but it keeps me on my toes.
