We have covered everything from Hooters to NutriSystem commericals. I think this is a subject that women need to dive into before we completely destroy the self-worth of the next generation of women.

What blows my mind is the ``she is so fat and ugly now`` followed up by ``SHOCKER, anorexic so and so.`` Do the producers not get whiplash on that???? And then how are we suppose to tell our daughters and students and OURSELVES that our bodies are ok just the way they are. That we need to stop shredding people. That our own happiness comes from within, not from constantly striving to look better or be more successful strictly from an external viewpoint. How do we support other people when all we have been trained to do is attack? Ugh I know.
