Not Dieting in a Dieting World

It is very difficult for me to hear about the latest diet trend winding it's way through our society.  I heard on the radio this morning about a "new " diet where you can lose weight by injecting yourself with the human pregnancy hormone.  Really?  This makes me crazy.  It amazes me at what lengths people will go to lose weight.  I also wonder when will it all stop.  When will society realize that these fad diets just don't work.  We are so much more than a number on a scale; yet, that number sometimes will dictate our mood for the day.  That makes me sad.  Let's change the tide -- let's stop "fat talk".  It is harmful and what kind of example are we setting for young girls?  Not a very good one, I'm afraid.
