Wow LaDonna, I can’t believe you’re reading this far back! And I agree with you on the commercials. It worries me that almost 12 year old niece is probably being influenced by them, although my sister does a wonderful job with her. I love our DVR–being able to zip through all the mysoginist commercials: priceless.

Thank you!!! Every girl needs this advice. Every Woman needs this advice. I use to weigh 135 when I met my husband 14 years ago. I am now 200 and can’t seem to lose weight. Those commercials make me sick!!! I don’t even like for my son to see commercials because it is so degrading at times. As I have stated before your honesty is greatly appreciated!

Just wanted to let you know I am reading your thoughts on this site. I do recall seeing the Total commercial, thinking how teeny-bopper the mom looked. (Lately, I have been seeing moms–like 40 and 50 year old moms wearing those tiny ripped-off jean skirts. Ugh. But that’s another story.) Indeed, there are some unrealistic, or even unhealthy expectations placed on women, making it hard for them to love themselves.
