It makes me ill to see the same thing on every magazine, with the same skeletal model who's been airbrushed beyond fiction, with the same headline each and every time. This obsession with looks is SO unhealthy! When was the last time we saw a magazine cover suggesting it's truly what's on the inside that counts, that how we treat others is the only way we should judge and be judged?! Can't put a pricetag on that though can you, so until it doesn't sell magazines, we're stuck in this God-awful never-ending cycle. Any idea on what it will take for this to change?? I dread having to bring a little girl up in this day and age....<br /><br />Thanks for writing that up, great work as always :)K@https://www.blogger.com/profile/18062983984880799423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-24488327589021770322012-01-16T17:43:23.686-05:002012-01-16T17:43:23.686-05:00SOPA/PIPA is up again for review in Congress and b...SOPA/PIPA is up again for review in Congress and by the President, bills if signed into law could result in internet censorship and site shutdowns. Wikipedia is one of several sites participating in a blackout on 1/18 to protest SOPA. Take time to familiarize yourself with these proposed bills and call your state representative to say no to SOPA.<br /><br />Keep the Internet neutral, accessible, and free.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-46172227448655988492012-01-16T13:37:37.250-05:002012-01-16T13:37:37.250-05:00Seriously, does anyone over the age of 18 still re...Seriously, does anyone over the age of 18 still read those crap magazines?

I didn't know how best to do this logistically, but how empowering it would be to alter messages and post and read them!

Thank you Carrie!<br />Sorry for not being on lately. I've been busy with school. (Just got back after Christmas break! I am now officially in school full time again!!)<br />I hate this time of year. The only thing I noticed while watching the countdown on New Year's Eve was that every second commercial was a Weight Watchers trying to make us feel guilty. I spent the evening making fun of all those commercials with my parents. :)Jessienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-75023301302418394202012-01-14T12:33:43.393-05:002012-01-14T12:33:43.393-05:00Sadly, no different in Australia.

All the tv ads are the same: QuickTrim, Fat Blaster, Lite N Easy, etc. <br /><br />I work with a very overweight young lady and she never asks me how she can lose weight. I am a bdoy builder, but still on the sand kicked in face stage. She is worried I might lead her to some undesirable path where she no longer enjoys life. So, instead, she uses dieting, stomach fillers masquerading as diet jelly fibres, and binge drinking.<br /><br />I don't get the world, and I no longer wish to. Detracts my from muscle building. People around me who want to know what I know, know where to find me. Looks like I'll die lonely; but better than being sickly thin with frinds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-86963894911694348892012-01-14T12:31:39.538-05:002012-01-14T12:31:39.538-05:00Carrie, this made me smile so much.

All of the weight loss ads in magazines, tv, and radio have really been bringing me down, so thank you for combating the awful messages that are out there.
