Each contestant does a health make-over and comes back to show off six months later. Tell 'em I'll be the coach! haha.Peggy the Primal Parenthttp://theprimalparent.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726448868936354223.post-66352347269210177142012-05-10T11:59:38.125+02:002012-05-10T11:59:38.125+02:00I read this first thing in the morning with tea in...I read this first thing in the morning with tea in my hand, and laughed so hard about that song that I had to hold in my baby bump.

I love your writing.
Second... This post ...First... I love your writing.<br />Second... This post is completely related to what I posted today. The relationship between beauty and reproduction... except, not because the show I saw on tv about this was really about getting treated poorly when you are shopping if you are fat. Yet, somehow, it is ALL related. (Although you would never know it from this comment."<br />Third... Today while I filled my van up with gas my kids held hands in the back seat (awwww) and made up a song together that included the lyrics, "It's stupid, it sucks, get out of town."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726448868936354223.post-34538674087941180432012-04-17T18:39:40.640+02:002012-04-17T18:39:40.640+02:00Well, I'm not *thrilled* that she knows that w...Well, I'm not *thrilled* that she knows that word (or a few other choice selections she manages to remember even when she still regularly forgets - oh - her last name) but she'll learn it someday and at least this way we can start to talk about the power of words and how we choose and use them.<br />Outward appearance and inner value is an important distinction, and certainly health and value are unrelated to each other, yet all these things get mixed up until we're putting the cart before the horse and driving ourselves further into a hole that no amount of lipstick can cure.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703308019856972175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726448868936354223.post-50809850269112574562012-04-17T17:15:12.430+02:002012-04-17T17:15:12.430+02:00It amuses me hearing how you have no regrets teach...It amuses me hearing how you have no regrets teaching your daughter the word "hooker". I agree with the biological need and desire to appear more sexually attractive, but it's sad that people judge others, and worse, themselves, based on how they look on the outside. To me, confidence is about so much more than that. I personally don't wear makeup at all even when I go out. It just isn't as much a social culture where I grew up, so I never saw the urgent need to. That said, it's pretty impossible to not be concerned about your appearance, it's just where we draw the line!Shu Hanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00248873228185558472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726448868936354223.post-79637677908631027292012-04-06T16:44:58.178+02:002012-04-06T16:44:58.178+02:00There is the possibility that fixing the leaking f...There is the possibility that fixing the leaking foundation would have health, happiness and thus eventually companionship effects, but it's of course not possible within a half-hour show format so we keep selling women this bill of goods to sell commercial time. I want to know what the 12-month follow-up interviews with the madeover women would look like.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703308019856972175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726448868936354223.post-81295063426315862562012-04-06T16:44:26.502+02:002012-04-06T16:44:26.502+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703308019856972175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726448868936354223.post-42763757959378399292012-04-06T16:26:51.915+02:002012-04-06T16:26:51.915+02:00I just love this post.

Spot on. <br /><br />Remember the show here that used to be called The Swan...ugly duck to beautiful swan. It's was awful. Not awful is how the show was produced, but the cure for sadness and loneliness with surgery instead of whole health considerations. <br /><br />Pretty funny about the new addition to her English vocabulary with your reaction. Classic!Jillnoreply@blogger.com
