never satisfied

Hi friends
     I had to write a quick note on something many people struggle with....body image.
Now, I could write on this for pages and pages... What drove me to write a few notes down was finally watching the episode where Oprah interviews Portia de Rossi (now Portia DeGeneres) about her new book Unbearable Lightness.  (I had it saved on tivo.)  I have put the link to that video within this blog.http://www.oprah.com/oprahshow/Portia-de-Rossi-and-the-Secret-That-Nearly-Killed-Her-Video/topic/oprahshow
Portia reads passages from her book in the interview that are a rare and HONEST glimpse into the mind of someone with an eating disorder.  
     There is such a fine line between chronic dieting and disordered eating that pretty much anyone and everyone can benefit from at least watching the interview. 
Society seems to convince many of us that we are never going to look good enough.  We are bombarded with media images and real life experiences that reinforce these thoughts.  Take the time today to write a list of what you LIKE about yourself (efficient, empathetic, great baker...whatever!)  and make sure you tell colleagues, friends and family why you appreciate them in your life.
