Love Your Body Quiz

Do you constantly find fault with your body? If you do, then you're one of the 80% of women, and a growing proportion of men who are unhappy with their body.

Today is Love Your Body Day. The National Organization for Women (NOW) Foundation educates women about the dangers of fad diets, poor body image and inappropriate media images.

NOW is also concerned about the growth in cosmetic surgery to enhance appearance. Did you know that the 'toe tuck' is the latest must have surgery, for women who believe they have "ugly" toes or are unable to fit into their Jimmy Choo shoes? NOW encourages women to love their bodies, as they are and embrace their uniqueness.

and discover your inherent beauty, brilliance, and strength".

Bright Shiny New Blog Coming

It’s been a while since I’ve posted regularly to this blog, but that’s all about to change. Coming soon(ish), Nancy and I will be back in action bringing you news, opinion and random thoughts called ’60 Second Sanity Break’.

We may be blogging here, or we may be moving to a new domain, but it will be happening. I know, I know, this is starting to sound like a commercial for hair regrowth. Just keep an eye out - we will be back with a new blog design and new posts in the New Year.

I don’t plan to post as often as I have in the past. I’ve learned that the less time I spend online, the healthier I feel, so I need to keep my promise to myself to spend only a few hours a week online, and to take plenty of time to disconnect from the computer.

Have a great weekend everyone. Nancy and I will look forward to being back to regular posting soon(ish)…

In the meantime, check out this website with links to great self-help freebies for health, wealth and well-being.
