During an interview with iVillage’s Kelly Wallace, First Lady Michelle Obama discussed the topic of body image. It’s my hope that her words will serve to inspire fellow parents to adopt her perspective.

Sick of hearing about celebrity diet and weight loss tips?

I was just flipping through one of my favorite celebrity gossip magazines (hey I live in LA!), doing a “media purge” and found an ad for a diet program starring Courtney Thorne-Smith. Courtney is a big network television star with past success on shows such as Melrose Place and According to Jim.
