I LOVE that show. It doesn't take itself too seriously and is very tongue-in-cheek. It's become one of my summer guilty pleasures that I watch when I should be grading papers :).K*https://www.blogger.com/profile/16215286642674396038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369028485487089018.post-42554909965844394722008-07-28T08:23:00.000-06:002008-07-28T08:23:00.000-06:00I wholeheartedly agree.

While giving some people a 'lift' out of their situation may give them the push they need to break they cycle they are in, for most it will only be a short-term band-aid. <BR/>I have never really bought into the whole need-to-look-perfect mentality; I think I have my mother to thank for that. She was never obsessed with dieting or if she had gained a little weight. Not to say that she wasn't concerned about staying healthy, she just had a healthy approach to it. Eat lots of fruits and veggies, whole grains and get your exercise. If you're doing that, chances are that you'll look (and feel) good. Who could ask more than that?<BR/>I saw an ad on t.v. a while back (I know, I actually watched t.v.) for some sort of canine dietary supplement that was supposed to help ease joint pain. There's all these people talking about how much better their dog feels and how they can walk and run without pain while they show said dog running through the grass. All of these dogs were overweight. If you just fed them a little less, you'd get their weight down and you wouldn't have to give them expensive supplements. It's the same thing with people.Lavernahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269669580298070953noreply@blogger.com
