Hear, hear!

Another thing women teach their children that needs to end - obsession with body image.

1. Stop criticizing yourself in front of a mirror, especially when your daughters are in earshot. I've seen women do this and it makes me so sad to know what she's teaching her kids.

2. Stop obsessing about your weight. Being healthy is one thing, everyone should be enthusiastic about living a healthy lifestyle... but making it about how you look is destructive and wrong. Make it about looks and you encourage bulimia, anorexia, etc.

3. Stop obsessing about other women's looks. So what if some aging celebrity looks young? Is that really something to ooh and aah over? You know who you should be oohing and aahing over... her plastic surgeon. So what if some woman has grey roots, or more wrinkles, or isn't wearing the most flattering clothes? Why make that such a big deal?
